As for the recent wave of celebrity splits, Jennifer said she feels every relationship takes work – famous pair or not.

“At the end of the day, we’re all human and we all have our relationship issues and our human issues. I think because of celebrity, it’s more magnified. We’re people, too,” she told Tim. “We’re all people and they’re just going through people things, it’s just magnified.”
