Besides cooking, Jennifer has some other things she would like to do in Italy,
“Drinking cappuccinos and go shopping. I’m a girl, you know, I am still a girl’.

“I do not feel the pressure of having to appear always perfect, I believe that every woman should take care of herself and stay healthy.”
On Saturday, husband Marc Antony threw her a surprise birthday party in New York.
“It was the best party of my life. I seemed to be in Hollywood in the thirties. I felt so much love around me.”
On Wednesday, Jennifer and Marc attended a dinner at Antica Pesa, in honor of the winners from the 2009 World Swimming tournament in Rome.
