Jennifer Lopez covers the first issue of Glamour's new magazine, Glam Belleza Latina, which is dedicated to celebrating the beauty and style of Latina women. Not a bad way to launch a publication!

“Latin beauty is the rainbow," J. Lo tells the mag. "We have black, we have white, we have caramel. We have blonds, we have blue eyes, we have brown eyes, we have the darkest of the dark skin. Latin beauty is for everybody.”

On staying true to herself, the 43-year-old singer/actress says, “I am confident. It doesn’t mean I don’t have my moments. But you have to remember the value of your individuality -- that you have something special and different to offer that nobody else has.” She continues, “People praise me for being physically pretty. You can think, That’s who I am. But who you really are is all the messy, complex stuff. That makes you more interesting.”

Speaking of messy, complex stuff, what does J. Lo have to say about her split from hubby Marc Anthony? “After Marc and I decided to divorce I came across this song "Dance Again" while working on my album," she says. "It became a kind of mantra: You will live. You will love. You will dance again. I needed that song.”

These days she's dancing with 25-year-old dancer/choreographer Casper Smart, and J. Lo says taking him on her seven-month, 78-city tour helped solidify their relationship. “Trust me, it told me that we get along really well,” she says. “These are high-pressure situations, and he was in charge of the whole show. We grew through it. We were even better at the end.”
