Jennifer Lopez Biography Filmography Discography

Jennifer Lope Aguilar de la Vega publicly known as Jennifer López, also known as J-Lo or J.Lo, was born on July 24, 1969. A well-known Puerto Rican-American actress, Latin Pop singer, fashion designer, and dancer. She is married to singer Marc Anthony.
She was raised in the Bronx, New York, and started in television as a "fly girl" dancer on the television comedy program In Living Color in 1990.

Jennifer was chosen to play the lead role in the film Selena (1997), after a nationwide search of tens of thousands of women. In 1998, the Golden Globes organization nominated her for the "Best Performance by an Actress in a Motion Picture Musical or Comedy" for her role in Selena.
She also played a small role in a short-lived television program South Central. She later starred shortly in Second Chances and Hotel Malibu.

JLo's debut album, On the 6, a reference to the subway line she used to take growing up in Castle Hill, was released on June 1, 1999 and reached the top ten of the Billboard 200. In Januray 2001, Her second album J. Lo, was released and became #1 on the Billboard 200.
On November 26, 2002, Lopez released her third studio album, This Is Me... Then, which reached #2 on the Billboard 200 and spawned three very popular singles; the top 5 "Jenny from the Block", (sampling the track from the song "Watch Out Now" by the Beatnuts, and including raps from Jadakiss and Styles P), the multi-week #1 "All I Have" duet with LL Cool J and the top 10 "Baby I Love You!" (which also was the musical theme to Gigli).
Jennifer finally released her fourth studio album, Rebirth, on March 1, 2005. Debuting at #2 on the Billboard 200 to initially decent sales success, the album quickly fell off the charts and remains to be Lopez's biggest commercial (not to mention critical) failure/flop yet.

Her first marriage, to waiter Ojani Noa, occured on February 22, 1997. He was later named the manager of Lopez's restaurant, Madre's. They divorced in January 1998. Her second marriage was to Chris Judd, her former backup dancer. She met Judd while filming the music video for her single "Love Don't Cost A Thing". The two were married on September 29, 2001 at a home in a Los Angeles suburb officiated by attorney Barry Hirsch. The marriage also ended in divorce in January 2003.
Between marriages, from 1999 to 2001, she dated singer and producer Puff Daddy real name Sean Combs, their breakup was announced on February 14, 2001.

Later then, Jennifer Lopez became engaged to Ben Affleck and confirmed this in October 2002, after Affleck gave her a reported $3.5 million ring. But the marriage planned for September 14, 2003 in Santa Barbara, California was called off a few days before the event. She had stated in interviews during her engagement to Affleck that, once married, she would go by the name Jennifer Affleck both privately and professionally. This never came to be as she and Affleck broke off their engagement and split for good in January 2004.

On June 5, 2004, Jennifer married singer Marc Anthony in a secret wedding, less than a week after his divorce was finalized from former Miss Universe Dayanara Torres. She has become a stepmother to Anthony's two sons, Cristian and Ryan, with Torres and also to his daughter, Arianna, from a previous relationship. Arianna starred in Lopez's music video for "Get Right".
