Jennifer Lopez

Jennifer Lynn Lopez Rodríguez, (Jennifer Lopez, JLo) is an American 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 recognized for her major musical 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. She became the first Latina actress to earn a million dollars for her role in the film Selena, which catapulted her to fame in 1997 after she had previously worked on series and films that received mixed reviews. However, in 1995, she won the Independent Spirit Award for Best Supporting Actress while portraying Maria, a young Mexican immigrant in the movie My Family. Following her success with Selena, she starred in other notable films such as Anaconda, U Turn, directed by Oliver Stone, and Out of Sight, a film by Steven Soderbergh.

By 1999, Jennifer López was already establishing herself as an actress in Hollywood when she released her debut album, On the 6, in collaboration 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, while 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. During that time, a video circulated on the internet showing JLo walking through the streets of the Havana neighborhood of Jaimanitas when she was still not famous, believed to be her only visit to Cuba. The disputes between Lopez and Noa date back over 20 years due to the derogatory remarks and discrediting language with which the Cuban continues to refer to the Diva. In 2006, she published a book in which she claimed that Noa had assaulted her. The following year, they went to trial, and Lopez was awarded $545,000.

In 2011, she collaborated 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, later both supported Back It Up by Prince Royce.

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

At the 2013 American Music Awards, she performed three songs by Celia Cruz ("Kímbara," "La vida es un carnaval," and "Bemba Colorá") in a tribute gala honoring 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, featuring the successful Cuban duo Gente de Zona, which has over 117 million views on YouTube. The album also includes 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 singer Shakira at the Super Bowl.
