Jennifer Lopez admits she would "love" the chance to have another child and would easily consider it to be one of her greatest joys.

The 45-year-old "The Boy Next Door" star recently told People Magazine in a cover issue story published this month, "I don't know if it's in the cards for me because of my age, but I would love to be blessed one more time."

Currently single, Lopez is already the mother of 6-year-old twins, Max and Emme, she and ex-husband Marc Anthony conceived during their time together.

Throughout her high-profiled career, Lopez's love life has often been the talk of Hollywood, with her previously dating such fellow A-listers as Ben Affleck and Sean "Puffy" Combs. The twice-divorced Bronx native was also once briefly married to former backup dancer Chris Judd.

The current "American Idol" judge got her big break in Hollywood in 1997 when she starred as Selena Quintillana Perez in the biopic chronicling the life and times of the famed pop singer.

Lopez has also starred in such films as "Money Train" opposite Wesley Snipes and Woody Harrelson and the 1996 Francis Ford Coppola-directed flick "Jack," which also starred Robin Williams.

In "The Boy Next Door," Lopez plays opposite Ryan Guzman as a high school teacher whose marriage is in shambles. As she seeks to pick up the pieces, Lopez enters into an affair with a younger neighbor played by Guzman. Before long, the relationship dangerously spirals out of control as Guzman grows more and more obsessed.

Forbes.com reports the low-budget thriller also starring Kristin Chenoweth and John Corbett raked in some $15 million over its debut weekend, nearly four times what it cost to produce the entire film.

Lopez's career string of other hit flicks also include the thriller "Out of Sight" starring George Clooney and the romantic comedy "Maid in Manhattan," where she played opposite Ralph Fiennes.
