JENNIFER Lopez says “pleasing” herself is more important than being popular.

The singer says she no longer cares what people think about her now that she’s in her 40s.

“In your 20s you’re in this crazy cloud of life and you don’t know what you’re doing. When you get into your 40s, you have more of a sense of yourself,” she explained.

“I’m pleasing myself and the people that are important to me, as opposed to trying to please the whole world and I feel the best is yet to come.”

Lopez — who’s married to singer Marc Anthony — recently revealed she demanded an expensive gift from her husband when it came to celebrating their first wedding anniversary.

“On our first wedding anniversary I told Marc, ‘You better get me a gift that’s really good, really great, because it’s a bit step for me to be married a whole year’,” she said. “And he did. I’m big into accessories and I love diamonds, so he got me a beautiful, magnificent 14-carat blue diamond ring. It’s an heirloom and it’s gorgeous.

“He’s given me many, many gifts since then, but that ring he gave me to celebrate that we’d made it to the first year mark is the favorite piece of jewelery I own.”
