Singer-actress Jennifer Lopez has admitted that she used to feel insecure about her singing capabilities.

The 44-year-old 'Live It Up' singer said that it was only after having her children that she began to feel comfortable with her talent, reported Digital Spy.

"It was after I had kids to be honest. The biggest insecurity I had was my singing. Even though I had sold 70 million records, there was this feeling like, I'm not good at this," she said.

Lopez, who has 5-year-old twins Max and Emme with former husband Marc Anthony, continued, "And while I was married to Marc, he helped me get over it. He kept telling me, 'You're the only one holding yourself back from reaching your full potential as a singer. You have to let go'.
 

"I was always so insecure and just kind of going along. Then I grew, little by little, and realised, wait a minute, this is not a fluke. I'm not a mistake - I work my ass off. And I know what I'm doing."

The 'American Idol judge' is currently dating 26-year-old Casper Smart.
