Happy birthday Jennifer Lopez ! This diva is turning 48 on July 24, 2016 and we're just amazed that every year that goes by she just looks better and more gorgeous. This year in particular, JLo has been working harder than usual, with the premiere of the second season of her TV show on NBC "Shades of Blue," where she plays New York detective Harlee Santos, a single mother who runs with a group of dirty cops, taking her cut of the bribes and protection money to give her bright and promising daughter the best life possible and a leg up for a better future. The show's second season premiered in March.
If that wasn't enough, JLo has been keeping busy with the premiere of "World of Dance," which saw the light on May 30th. Lopez is the executive producer and a judge of the reality competition series, hosted by Jenna Dewan Tatum. The series features dance performers, including solo acts and larger groups, representing any style of dance, competing for a grand prize of $1 million. Besides Lopez, the contestants are also scored by judges Ne-Yo and Derek Hough.
Besides taking over TV, JLo is still selling out her Las Vegas residency show, "All I Have," set to start its seventh and last leg (for now) on September 6 until September 27 at The AXIS auditorium located in the Planet Hollywood Resort & Casino. She had previously broken the record during the August 13, 2016 concert, which earned over $1 million in revenue, becoming Planet Hollywood's highest-grossing show to date, breaking the previous box office record for a single show, set by "Britney: Piece of Me." Lopez's "All I Have" was the most successful Las Vegas residency of 2016, grossing $34.6 million.
If you thought she couldn't possibly be doing more, you're wrong. Jennifer Lopez is also in the middle of recording a Spanish album that is being produced by her ex-husband, Marc Anthony and his company, Magnus Media, which she recently joined as a talent. She's already released two singles, "Olvídame y Pega la Vuelta," featuring Marc Anthony, originally recorded by Pimpinella and re-released in 2016 in a more "modern" version and a salsa version. Most recently, she released "Ni tu ni yo," featuring Gente de Zona, a catchy tune with a sexy music video that proves JLo only gets better with time.
On top of her successful professional career, her personal life is thriving. She continues to prove she's an exceptional mother to her "coconuts," twins Max and Emme who are now nine years old, and number one girlfriend to Dominican baseball legend Alex Rodriguez.
To celebrate the Puerto Rican star's birthday, we've gathered up her 48 best moments throughout her life and career. So enjoy this trip down memory lane that will make you realize the influence JLo's had in your life!
