Jennifer Lynn Lopez (also known as J Lo) is best known as a singer for her hit song “Jenny From the Block.” She is also a well-respected actress, having starred in movies such as Angel Eyes and Maid in Manhattan. Her musical talents come naturally, as one of three children gifted with a voice for song. Her two sisters have also been noted as having vocal talents, although neither pursued careers like their super-star sibling.

Jennifer Lopez’s humble beginnings

J Lo was born in the Bronx, New York as one of three daughters to Puerto Rican immigrants, Guadalupe and David. She was always interested in show business, both acting and singing. Her first appearance was in the movie My Little Girl in 1986. Her big acting breakthrough occurred when she made semi-regular appearances as ‘Fly Girl’ on the television series, In Living Color. She has also appeared in the movies Selena, Antz, The Cell, and Monster-in-Law.

Her first album, On the 6, was released in 1999. J Lo was already 30 years old at the time. She has since released seven other albums. These include: J.Lo (2001), This is Me… Then (2002), Rebirth (2005), Como Ama Una Mujer (2007), Brave (2007), Love? (2011), and A.K.A. (2014). Some of her most popular songs include “Love Don’t Cost a Thing” and “On the Floor.”

How old is J Lo?

Jennifer Lopez was born on July 24th, 1969. This makes her 49 years old. J Lo has aged well, and most fans find it nearly impossible to believe that ‘Jenny From the Block’ is now almost fifty years old.

After taking a short break, Jennifer Lopez hit the show business industry full force. Starting in 2017, she helped launch a new reality television series called World of Dance. In addition to being the show’s host, Lopez also served as one of its executive producers. In February of 2018, J Lo released a new single entitled “Us.” In November of this year, she returned to the big screen with the release of comedic film Second Act.

How old is her daughter?

On February 22, 2008, Jennifer Lopez gave birth to twins with her then-husband, Marc Anthony. The twins were Lopez’s first and second children, while they were the third and fourth born to Anthony. Her son is named Maximilian, and her daughter’s name is Emme. This makes her daughter (and son) ten years old.

Big sale of newborn image

Shortly after their birth, both Maximilian and Emme had a quick rise to fame when their newborn images were sold to US People Magazine for an incredible $6 million. This is considered to be one of the highest selling images of celebrity’s newborn children in history. This would only prove to be a beginning for at least one of J Lo’s children.

What is J Lo’s daughter doing now?

At only ten years old, Emme Lopez is proving to follow in her powerful mom’s footsteps. She recently made headlines when she starred beside her mother in a powerful music video for the song Limitless. The song is from J Lo’s newest movie, Second Act.

Emme Lopez may be working on a book

Emme Lopez was recently seen holding a manuscript for a book entitled Lord Help Me. There have since been rumors (although no confirmations) that the ten-year-old girl is working on writing her own children’s book. This is a big feat for any young child – even one who is the child of a celebrity. If Emme is, indeed, working on her first book, then the world should receive more news on this in the coming months.
