Her relationship with [[Music/SeanCombs Sean "P. Diddy" Combs]] fell apart, in the wake of Combs being accused of gun possession, shooting, and injuring people at a nightclub (a charge he was ultimately acquitted of). She moved onto a high profile relationship with Creator/BenAffleck, spawning the nickname "[[PortmanteauCoupleName Bennifer]]" and producing the critical and commercial flop ''Film/{{Gigli}}''. Her music career stalled after the release of the single "Jenny from the Block", which (although a huge hit) was supposed to address accusations that she was a money-grubbing sell-out, but only made things worse with its video, which was the exact opposite of what the song was trying to say. The romance between Lopez and Affleck ended in 2004... only to restart 17 years later (with Lopez having spent a decade married to Anthony in the interim), leading to their marriage in 2022.

Born in the Bronx to Puerto Rican parents, her career started as one of the dancers in ''Series/InLivingColor'' before she landed a star-making role in the biopic about the singer ''Film/{{Selena}}''.

Her debut album, 1999's ''On The 6'' was a huge hit and helped spearhead what music critics called "The Latin Invasion" of 1999 along with Music/RickyMartin, Music/EnriqueIglesias, and future husband Music/MarcAnthony.

Her relationship with [[Music/SeanCombs Sean "P.

She moved onto a high profile relationship with Creator/BenAffleck, spawning the nickname "[[PortmanteauCoupleName Bennifer]]" and producing the critical and commercial flop ''Film/{{Gigli}}''. Her music career stalled after the release of the single "Jenny from the Block", which (although a huge hit) was supposed to address accusations that she was a money-grubbing sell-out, but only made things worse with its video, which was the exact opposite of what the song was trying to say. The romance between Lopez and Affleck ended in 2004... only to restart 17 years later (with Lopez having spent a decade married to Anthony in the interim), leading to their marriage in 2022.
She's done some advocacy work in various ways, including vaccination awareness for some diseases, and for awareness of violence against women. Interestingly enough, before she became famous, she was simply a paralegal and Notary Public working to an attorney.
Lopez still acts and records music, and as of the 2011 season, appeared as a judge on ''Series/AmericanIdol''. Her most famous physical... [[IncrediblyLamePun asset]] is her large, curvy rear, which has sparked a few talk show punchlines. Ironically, diet and fitness had already whittled her posterior to average size by 1999, which probably [[HollywoodPudgy says more about Hollywood's standards]] than J. Lo's bum. In 2020, she co-headlined the UsefulNotes/SuperBowl LIV halftime show with fellow Latina performer Music/{{Shakira}}.
