Jennifer Lynn Lopez (born July 24, 1969), also known as J. Lo, is an American actress,
author, fashion designer, dancer, producer, singer, and songwriter. She became
interested in pursuing a career in the entertainment industry following a minor
role in the 1986 film My Little
Girl, to the dismay of her Puerto
Rican parents, who believed that
it was an unrealistic career route for a Hispanic. Lopez gained her first
regular high-profile job as a Fly
Girl dancer on In Living Color in 1991, where she remained a regular
until she decided to pursue an acting career in 1993. She received her first
leading role in the Selena biopic of the same name in 1997. Lopez became the first Latina
actress to earn over $1 million for a role the following year, with the film Out of Sight. She ventured into
the music industry in 1999 with her debut studio album, On the 6.
With
the simultaneous release of her second studio album J. Lo and her film The Wedding Planner in 2001, Lopez became the first person
to have a number one album and film in the same week. Her 2002 remix album, J to tha L–O! The Remixes,
became the first in history to debut at number one on the U.S. Billboard 200, while her fifth studio album, Como Ama una Mujer (2007), received the highest
first-week sales for a Spanish album in the United States. With past record
sales of over 60 million and a cumulative film gross of over $2 billion, Lopez
is regarded as the most influential Hispanic performer in the United States, as
well as its highest paid Latin entertainer. As
of 2014, she has an estimated net worth of $400 million. Along with Pitbull and Claudia
Leitte, she recorded "We Are One (Ole Ola)", which served as the official song of the 2014 FIFA World Cup.
Beyond
entertainment, Lopez enjoyed a highly successful business career, consisting of
various clothing lines, accessories, fragrances, a production company, television shows
and a charitable foundation among other business interests.
Lopez's personal relationships have attracted worldwide media attention; she
has been married three times. Following the breakdown of her first marriage,
Lopez dated rapper and entertainment mogul Sean
Combs. Following the breakdown of her second marriage to husbandCris Judd, she
dated actor Ben Affleck. Their
relationship was the subject of much media interest; their planned wedding was
cancelled four days before the ceremony. Lopez then wed longtime friend Marc Anthony; they separated after
seven years of marriage. Lopez gave birth to their twins, Emme and Maximilian,
in 2008.
