“I’ve grown up so much. I can handle so much. Maybe I’m just meant to love a lot of people in my life,” she told People.

“I don’t know why my heart gets tossed around but I’m one of the lucky ones. At least I have my children and I still have Eric. He’s still very much a part of my life and will always be,” she added.

Jessica and Eric have been dating since 2010, and got married in 2014. They have three children together, daughter Maxwell, 12, son Ace, 11, and daughter Birdie, 5. They announced their separation last month in a statement.

Last week, Jessica gave fans a glimpse of her new single, “Use My Heart Against Me,” which will be released February 21.
