Jennifer Lopez is one of the most recognizable faces in entertainment — and what a face it is. The actress, singer, and dancer has often been praised for how good she looks for her age, but don’t try that backhanded compliment on her. She’s not likely to take it sitting down.
Born in 1969 in the Bronx borough of New York City, Lopez stole the nation’s hearts with her performance in the 1997 hit biopic “Selena” and hasn’t stopped since. Now in her mid-50s, Lopez is arguably one of the most influential Latin performers in the world. Her movies have grossed over $3 billion, and she has sold around 80 million copies of her musical recordings worldwide.
Lopez’s versatile career in the entertainment industry is as iconic as her timeless beauty. The actress, singer, and dancer has always attracted attention thanks to her sophisticated, young-looking appearance. Lopez has starred in several popular movies like “Maid in Manhattan” and “Marry Me” and has several well-known songs like “All I Have” and “Jenny From The Block,” to mention but a few.
However, 2024 has been a rough year for Lopez. Her ninth album, “This Is Me… Now,” released in February, underperformed commercially. A concert tour, “This Is Me… Live,” which had been set to kick off in June with planned stops in major United States and Canadian cities, was pre-emptively canceled. Lopez cited wanting “time off to be with her children, family and close friends,” as the reason for the cancellation.
However, perhaps the biggest blow Lopez experienced in 2024 was the breakdown of her marriage to Ben Affleck. After separating in April, Lopez filed for divorce in August. Lopez has remained mum on her personal affairs and kept her public appearances to a minimum. However, Lopez couldn’t even catch a break from fashion scrutiny either, as her choices at two events were widely blasted by viewers online.
