The 'On The Floor' hitmaker split from the 'My Baby You' singer in 2014 and admits it was a "devastating and awful" time of her life.

She told PEOPLE magazine: "It was devastating and awful. I think both Marc and I thought at the time we would be together for the next 40 years until we die.

"It was the biggest disappointment of my life so far. [But] I felt like at that time I had lost my way a little bit, of who I was in trying to make the marriage work.

"I had been married twice before and I didn't want this to be a failure ... I just put all my heart and soul into that and forgot who I was as an individual a little bit."

Meanwhile, the 46-year-old singer - who has eight-year-old twins Max and Emme with Marc - previously revealed she has no plans to get remarried.

She shared: "I need to be happy on my own. If someone fits into that, great. But if they don't, that's OK too. As girls, I think we are taught from a very young age that someone is going to bring us our happiness.

"I was waiting for Prince Charming. Everybody I met was going to be the guy I was going to spend my life with. And then you realize, 'I'm strong, I'm my own keeper, my own savior.' That's been the journey for me."
