Jennifer Lopez’s journey to becoming one of Hollywood’s most famous and beloved entertainers is a testament to her hard work, determination and unwavering belief in herself.
Becoming part of the Hollywood glitz is written in the stars for some. It is not only due to luck or fate, but also through hard work and effort to achieve.
Jennifer Lopez knew she belonged in the spotlight as a child and never gave up on her dream of becoming a famous celebrity, even if it meant getting into heated arguments with her mother and father who thought she should give up her dream of becoming become a dancer and study formal education instead.
Lopez, on the other hand, believed in herself and slept on the dance studio couch whenever she and her mother argued.
“My mom and I had a fight,” Lopez told W Magazine in 2013. “I didn’t want to go to college — I wanted to try dance full-time.” So we took a break.”
“I started sleeping on the couch of the dance studio. I was homeless, but I told her, ‘This is what I have to do.’ A few months later I got a job dancing in Europe. When I got back I made a reservation for In Living Color. I became a Fly Girl and moved to Los Angeles. It all happened in a year.”

Lopez made her big break with the legendary film Selena, in which she played pop star Selena Quintillana-Perez and received a Golden Globe nomination.
“When I first came on the scene, I wasn’t trying to be a size zero model or say I’m not Latina and change my name, I was Jennifer Lopez,” she explained.
“I had a big butt that I hugged, but I didn’t want to just be a Latina actress or the one who played those roles.” I wanted to play different roles.”
Lopez decided to explore another career, singing, as more roles came her way.
“I remember being up there and feeling comfortable in my own skin and performing came naturally to me,” she told InStyle of her experience.
“It was great for [Selena Quintillana-Perez] to kind of mentor me and teach me so much about, yes, how to navigate this business, but also how to navigate life,” she said in another interview.
“You never know what’s going to happen. You have to live in the moment and seize the day. So, when I saw that movie, I decided to make my first album. And so I did.”
Her single If You Had My Love went platinum in just two weeks, and more singles and albums followed. Jenny from the block has suddenly become the queen of the music world and is here to stay.
Lopez is now one of the most famous female artists in the world.
This amazing lady was married four times. Her two marriages were short-lived. Lopez has twins, Emme and Max, who are now teenagers, with her third husband, Marc Anthony.
“They’ve just made my life so much better,” Lopez said of her children in 2017. “I’ll forever be grateful that… you know, I didn’t have kids until later in life, so I almost thought it didn’t happen to me, so I am well aware that I have been blessed by it.” Perhaps it was something else.
“I don’t take it for granted for a single day.
Lopez is currently married to actor Ben Affleck and their relationship dates back to 2001 when they were known as ‘Bennifer.’ However, they divorced just a few days before the wedding and it took them 20 years to reconcile.
Everyone was surprised and surprised when news of their rekindled romance came out, but they didn’t care what others thought.
“I’ve never been better,” Lopez told Zane Lowe on The Zane Lowe Show. “I’ve gotten to a point in my life where I’m fine being alone.
“Once you get to that point, amazing things happen to you that you never expect to happen again,” she concluded. “I appreciate all the wishes and love coming my way right now… It’s the most beautiful time of my life.”

The couple got married in mid-June.
“We flew into Vegas last night, stood in line for the license with four other couples, all making the same journey to the wedding capital of the world,” Lopez said in her newsletter.
“Behind us two men were holding hands and holding each other. In front of us was a young couple who had driven three hours from Victorville for their daughter’s second birthday — we were all looking for the same thing — for the world to recognize us as partners and announced our love to the world through the ancient and virtually universal symbol of marriage.”
Lopez is not afraid to flaunt her natural beauty. She often tweets pictures of herself without makeup and we think she’s beautiful.
When admirers accuse Lopez of plastic surgery, she responds, “It’s just my face!!” I’ve never had botox, injections or surgery for the 500 millionth time!!”
She just posted a video of herself in a white dress with no makeup.
“I don’t have any special lighting or anything, this is just the morning light. I don’t have any special filters here, this is my face,” she said in the video. “As you can see, no makeup yet. I should get myself together.”
