Jennifer Lopez

Jennifer Lynn Lopez Rodríguez, known as Jennifer Lopez or JLo, is an American actress, singer, dancer, songwriter, record producer, fashion designer, entrepreneur, television producer, choreographer, and perfumer of Puerto Rican descent, born in New York on July 24, 1969.

World-renowned for hit songs like "If You Had My Love," "No Me Ames," "Waiting for Tonight," "El Anillo Pa Cuando," "On the Floor," and "Dance Again," Jennifer Lopez has sold over 80 million records. She became the first Latina actress to earn a million dollars for her role in the movie Selena, which catapulted her to fame in 1997 after appearing in series and films that did not receive great critical acclaim. However, in 1995, her portrayal of María, a young Mexican immigrant in the film My Family, earned her the Independent Spirit Award for Best Supporting Actress. Following her success with Selena, she starred in other titles such as Anaconda, U Turn, directed by Oliver Stone, and Out of Sight, a film by Steven Soderbergh.

By 1999, Jennifer Lopez was already establishing herself as an actress in Hollywood when she released her first album, On the 6, in partnership with Sony Music, the record label of Tommy Mottola, achieving tremendous success. Subsequently, the single for the Latin market, "No me ames," a duet with Marc Anthony, reached number one on the Billboard Latin Tracks for ten consecutive weeks.

In the following years, Jlo would continue to achieve great success as an actress and singer, simultaneously becoming a symbol of female empowerment through her sophisticated and sensual image.

On February 22, 1997, Jennifer Lopez married Cuban Ojani Noa, from whom she divorced a year later. A video from that time has circulated on the internet showing JLo walking through the streets of the Havana neighborhood of Jaimanitas, before she became famous, which is believed to be her only visit to Cuba. The conflicts between Lopez and Noa date back over 20 years, stemming from the derogatory remarks and discredit that Noa continues to direct towards the Diva. In 2006, Lopez published a book in which she alleged that Noa had assaulted her. The following year, they went to trial, and Lopez was awarded $545,000.

In 2011, she teamed up with Cuban-American singer Pitbull on the song "On The Floor," and in 2014, they collaborated again to perform the anthem for the World Cup. Later, both supported Prince Royce's track "Back It Up."

In the video for the song "I'm Into You," López was joined by Cuban actor William Levy, which sparked media speculation about a possible relationship between the two actors.

At the 2013 American Music Awards ceremony, she performed three songs by Celia Cruz ("Kímbara," "La vida es un carnaval," and "Bemba Colorá") in a tribute gala to La Guarachera de Cuba, for whom she has always had great admiration.

In July 2017, the single "Ni tú ni yo" was released, part of the album Por primera vez, in collaboration with the successful Cuban duo Gente de Zona, which has garnered over 117 million views on YouTube. The same album features the song "Amnesia," written by Yotuel Romero from Orishas.

In 2020, she was nominated for a Golden Globe for her leading role as Ramona in the film Hustlers, and she left us all with a memorable performance alongside Colombian artist Shakira at the Super Bowl.
