Jennifer Lynn Lopez
born:
24-07-1969
birth place:
Bronx, New York, USA.
Lopez hit the headlines once again in 2004 when she secretly married salsa star Marc Anthony. They had briefly dated in the late 1990s, before his first marriage and her second and unlike the mar of both their previous marriages, the two remain together and announced in November 2007 that they were expecting their first child together (later confirmed to be twins).
After a year away from the music scene, Lopez released her fourth studio album, Rebirth in 2005. Although debuting and peaking at number two in the US, the album quickly fell off the charts. She followed up her discography with her first full Spanish album Como Ama Una Mujer in 2007. Husband Marc Anthony produced the album and it reached the number one spot, putting Lopez back on track with her previous musical successes.
On screen Lopez starred in the hit comedy Monster-In-Law, and more recently she can be seen in El Cantante, a biopic of Hector Lavoe, the salsa pioneer who helped to break the genre in America. Lopez’s husband starred as Lavoe with Lopez as his wife Nilda Rosado.
Beyond her busy acting and singing schedule, Lopez has also formed her own production company, Nuyorican (the name reflecting her upbringing - half New York, half Puerto Rico), her own clothing line and a range of perfumes which have topped many sales records. Lopez has become one of the biggest multi-media stars in the world, her only sign of slowing down will be that she’s now a mum for the first time to twins, a boy and girl born in February 2008.
