All Jennifer Lopez has these days is sympathy for what friends Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes are going through.

Following the shocking news that the A-list couple were divorcing, the singer-actress told Entertainment Tonight in a new interview that she was troubled by the split, especially since she knows what they're going through in the wake of her own separation last summer from fellow songster Marc Anthony.

"I'm sad for them," Lopez said. "They're both really lovely people, and just like Marc and I, it's not what you want to happen. You fight and you try and you try until you realize you can't anymore."

The What to Expect When You're Expecting star noted that she had not spoken to either Tom or Katie and was taken aback when the latter filed for divorce last month, though Lopez indicated she has "thought about it a lot."
