Jennifer Lopez
- Profession: Singer/Actress
- Place/Date of Birth: The Bronx, New York , 24 July 2020
The star, 37, said she developed JustSweet to fill the void between J-Lo, her denim and T-shirt urban wear line, and Sweetface, a high fashion, higher priced line. She wanted to do something in the middle.
She also said she designed the line for the young at heart.
"Girls who are young who are going to wear it are going to feel sophisticated in it because it does have a chic kind of feeling to it," she said.
"But people who are older who wear it are going to feel young, flirty and fun. It really has a nice mix."
J-Lo said she’s not worried about whether she’s taken seriously as a designer.
"I’m not looking for the credibility," she said. "I’m looking to make clothes that every woman can wear."
J-Lo’s husband knows who’s boss - Aug 1 2007
There’s no question who is in charge in the Lopez-Anthony household - it is, of course, Jennifer Lopez, according her husband Marc Anthony.
"She’s always been the boss. That’s the first thing a man has to know. Absolutely, no question about it," Marc told People.com at the Los Angeles premiere of their new movie El Cantante - which Jennifer also produced.
In the film, Marc plays Puerto Rican salsa pioneer Hector Lavoe, and Jennifer his wife Puchi.
And the blissfully wedded couple say that they had no difficulty in creating their characters’ passion for one another.
"We’re passionate. We’re all passionate in a different way," said Jennifer.
Jennifer and Marc, who are about to embark on a tour together, are certain that a couple that works together can play together, and still stay together.
Marc says: "We wouldn’t put ourselves in this position if it was going to cost us in any way. We truly enjoy each other."
Sounds like the partnership from paradise.
Jen and Marc are just ’normal’ - July 24 2007
She once famously sang that she was "Jenny from the block", but now Jennifer Lopez and her hubby Marc Anthony are going one step further, and insisting that they are "so normal".
Despite the fact that the couple have millions in the bank, successful worldwide careers, are due to tour together and are listed as one of the most influential Hispanics in America, the Hollywood duo don’t think they’re anything out of the ordinary.
Marc made the unexpected confession to Latina magazine, after filming some ’highly charged scenes’ for his upcoming film, which he stars in with his wife, El Cantante.
"All my actor friends warned us, saying, ’Those abusive husband-and-wife scenes are gonna be difficult’. It almost scared me into quitting," he admitted.
"With those scenes, we’d end up exhausted. But driving home, we’d just look at each other and say, ’We are so normal’."
Marc and Jen tour together - July 23 2007
They vowed never to work apart, so Latino lovebirds Jennifer Lopez and Marc Anthony are killing two birds with one stone and going on tour together.
The singers will be playing gigs together for the first time, and as a tour veteran Marc says he will be introducing Jen to the joys of life on the road.
Marc recently revealed that he and J-Lo made a vow to each other on their wedding day to avoid working apart.
He says they are both looking forward to the forthcoming trip, which has yet to be finalized.

The following year however she decided to turn her hand to singing, producing an album, On The 6, which featured breakthrough singles If You Had My Love and Waiting For Tonight. The album turned her in to a household name literally overnight while an appearance alongside George Clooney in Out of Sight established her career as an actress although her future efforts such as The Cell and Gigli (with then fiancé Ben Affleck) saw her acting skills universally panned by critics.
With a change of name came super stardom as, in 2001, JLo was released, featuring hit singles Play, Love Don?t Cost A Thing as well as giving birth to remixes of I?m Real and Ain?t It Funny. JLo?s collaboration with rappers such as Ja Rule gave her a new audience and credibility outside of the pop world, although Jenny From the Block, the lead single from her 2002 album This is Me?Then, saw her rather ridiculed for claiming to be ?from the block? when she was often seen in the world?s finest hotels wearing fur coats costing the yearly wage of most of us.
In between failed marriages (to Cris Judd) and broken engagements (Ben Affleck), getting arrested with P Diddy (another ex) and appearing in films such as Maid in Manhattan and The Wedding Planner, Jennifer managed to turn herself in to a corporation with a range of clothes, perfumes and a production company to her name. She has also turned her hand to modeling, most notably appearing in a fabulous campaign for Louis Vuitton.
More recently the one time diva seems to have settled down, dedicating time to her new husband Marc Antony (the Latino pair married in June 2004) and releasing her latest album Rebirth which, although a commercial flop, signified a new direction for the singer. Despite this disappointment it seems that JLo?s success is set to run and run although whether her future lies in singing, acting or fashion remains to be seen.
