Jennifer Lopez

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

Globally known for hits 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 and became the first Latina actress to earn a million dollars for her role in the film Selena, with which she rose to fame in 1997 after working in series and films that had not received very good reviews. However, in 1995, portraying María, a young Mexican immigrant in the film My Family, she received the Independent Spirit Award for Best Supporting Actress. Following her success with Selena came other titles such as Anaconda, U Turn, directed by Oliver Stone, and Out of Sight, a film by Steven Soderbergh.

By 1999, Jennifer López was already an actress establishing herself in Hollywood when she released, in collaboration with Sony Music, Tommy Mottola's record label, her first album, titled On the 6, with resounding success. Subsequently, the single for the Latin market titled "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, while also becoming, through her sophisticated and sensual image, a symbol of female empowerment.

On February 22, 1997, Jennifer Lopez married the Cuban Ojani Noa, from whom she divorced a year later. From that time, a video circulates on the internet showing JLo walking through the streets of the Havana neighborhood of Jaimanitas when she was not yet famous, which is said to have been her only visit to Cuba. The clashes between Lopez and Noa have lasted over 20 years due to the derogatory way and the discredit with which the Cuban continues to refer to the Diva, who in 2006 published a book where she alleged that Noa raped her. The following year, they went to trial, and Lopez was awarded $545,000.

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

In the video for the song "I'm Into You," López was accompanied by Cuban actor William Levy, which sparked media comments 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 felt great admiration.

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

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