About

Jennifer Lynn Lopez was born on July 24, 1969, in the Bronx borough of New York City. She is the middle child of three sisters and was raised by her mother Guadalupe Rodríguez and father David Lopez. Lopez attended Catholic schools throughout her childhood and graduated from Preston High School in 1987.

Lopez began her career as a dancer on television series In Living Color in 1991. After appearing in several films, she released her debut album On The 6 in 1999. It included the hit single "If You Had My Love" which topped the Billboard Hot 100 chart for five weeks. Her second album J.Lo was released in 2001 and spawned the number one single "Love Don't Cost a Thing."

In 2002, Lopez starred alongside Ben Affleck in the romantic comedy-drama film Gigli, which was panned by critics and failed at the box office. Despite this, she continued to have success with albums such as This Is Me... Then (2002), Rebirth (2005), Como Ama Una Mujer (2007) and Brave (2007). She also starred in several successful films including Maid In Manhattan (2002), Shall We Dance? (2004), Monster-in-Law (2005) and The Back-up Plan (2010).

In 2011, Lopez returned to American Idol as a judge on its tenth season and eventually became a permanent judge throughout its twelfth season. In 2016, she appeared as a judge on World of Dance and since then has appeared every season since then. Her most recent studio album A.K.A., released in 2014, reached number 8 on the US Billboard 200 chart, becoming her tenth top 10 album in the US.
