Jennifer Lopez battling bronchitis

Singer-actress Jennifer Lopez has been battling through a bout of bronchitis.

The 44-year-old pop superstar during an interview with host Ellen DeGeneres revealed she had been secretly suffering with the lung condition, reported Contactmusic.

"Especially when you have bronchitis like me right now. Sorry... I'm on the back end of it," she said.

Her confession prompted DeGeneres to quip, "So glad I hugged you", before Lopez decided to tease the comedienne by cuddling up to her and jokingly wiping her hands on the presenter.
