Jennifer Lopez Just Figured Everyone Knew She Was Pregnant

Jennifer Lopez is the cover girl on next month's issue of Harper's Bazaar. In the issue she talks about her life now, expecting her first child, and keeping the news of the pregnancy a secret.

Here are some highlights:

On keeping the pregnancy a secret during her recent tour:
"I do realize people want to know because they're interested, but this is the first time I'm going through this. This is my experience and my husband's experience, and we get to hold that for a little while. We're just getting used to the fact that we've told everybody. I kind of feel like everybody knew anyway. was on tour with a bubble gut!"

On protecting her privacy:
"I'm just feeling too protective to open that door right now. It's a Pandora's box. It's a destructive lifestyle to be out there. I know because I've lived it. Being on the cover of the tabloids every day for two years – it's hard. You start forgetting who you really are inside."

On taking some time off: "I don't know – and I like that, because my life has been so planned for so many years. Once I did the tour, I really just wanted to shut it down, and since then I've had to do three things, including a video. It may not sound like a lot, but you know, as this point, any woman can sympathize. It is a lot. I was ready just to sit."
