Jennifer Lopez shook the world with the news of her new album «This Is Me… Now». Recently, she gave an interview that immediately went viral. However, it’s not just about J.Lo’s music but also her appearance. People everywhere started discussing her «unrecognizable» face.
Why ’This Is Me… Now’ may be her final album.
In a recent interview, Jennifer Lopez shared some surprising news for fans eagerly awaiting her upcoming album, “This Is Me… Now”. The multi-talented star hinted that this album might signal the end of her music career.
Discussing the album’s creation process, Lopez revealed that they explored various album cover designs to create something special for her fans, ensuring they had collector’s items to cherish. However, she admitted uncertainty about her future in music, stating that she doesn’t know if she’ll ever make another album after this one.
In a light-hearted moment, Lopez jokingly mentioned not wanting her manager Benny Medina to know about her thoughts, saying, “Don’t tell Benny that that’s what I’m thinking — this might be my last album ever.”
Reflecting on her previous album, “This Is Me… Then,” released 22 years ago during her relationship with Ben Affleck, Lopez acknowledged the evolution of her personal and professional life since then. Despite the possibility of this being her final album, she remains open to new opportunities, emphasizing that while she would “never say never,” she put her heart and soul into this project and feels fulfilled. For Lopez, “This Is Me… Now” symbolizes the end of one era and the beginning of another.
The star had a minimal makeup look.
Dressed elegantly in all-black with gold hoop earrings, Lopez looked stunning as she shared insights about her latest projects. However, her appearance sparked mixed reactions. Some viewers found her look “unrecognizable” and “different” from her usual glamorous style.
Comments on social media platforms reflected a mix of opinions on Jennifer Lopez’s recent interview appearance. Some viewers were taken aback by her minimal makeup, with comments like, “Her eyes look weird,” and “Where are her eyelashes?” questioning the departure from her usual glamorous style. Others speculated about possible reasons for her appearance, with remarks like, “What happened to her face?” and “She looks tired.”
Fans flocked to the comments section to share their thoughts. «I feel like she did her own makeup… Like she didn’t even put on lashes, or at least mascara…like she tried it!».
«Now understand when my grandma told me once, literally one day you wake up and you start looking your age. Her day got here,» commented one. «This is why celebrities need to stop using filters. Once you see the real them, it shocks us how „old“ they look. JLo looks great for her age,» added another.
However, amidst these critiques, there were also positive reactions, with some praising Lopez’s overall look as «beautiful» and «gorgeous.» These comments show how people see things differently when it comes to celebrities. Some might not like changes from the norm, while others appreciate authenticity and natural beauty.
«She’s 54! Get over it! She’s got a lil wrinkle here and there…she looks great even with less makeup,» one wrote.«She looks beautiful embracing her age she looks more natural and more her age she’s glowing,» added another.
Someone wrote that people will always find something to criticise celebrities for. «If she wears too much makeup people say ’Why is she wearing so much make up? Why is she trying to be young?’ And still hate when her makeup is minimal!»
She also talked about her husband Ben Affleck.
Lopez also shared that her recent reunion with her husband, Ben Affleck, inspired her to return to songwriting. She mentioned that music tends to flow more when she’s happy and in love. Affleck’s unwavering support was pivotal during the creative process, as Lopez referred to him as her “biggest fan and cheerleader.” Therefore, the album holds sentimental value for her, symbolizing a chapter in both her love life and career.
Some comments suggested that Affleck had caused Lopez to appear older. One commenter wrote, “Ben has aged her,” while another remarked, “She seems fixated on Ben.” Conversely, others disagreed, highlighting Lopez’s natural beauty regardless of whether she was dressed up or in more casual attire.
Jennifer Lopez has been at the peak of fame for over 20 years, and every move she makes is discussed worldwide. Her personal life is no exception. Recently, people started questioning why Ben Affleck looks unhappy in photos with his wife. JLo couldn’t withstand the scrutiny and provided an answer.
She Gave Up Her Organ to Save Him, But What Happened Next Will Break Your Heart
Being married to a Hollywood star can be difficult, but some couples make it work.
Ann Serrano gave everything for her famous husband — even one of her organs — but ended up being betrayed.
Ann Serrano might not be a name you immediately recognize, but she deserves to be known for more than just being “the wife of a celebrity.” Ann has built a career as both an actress and a producer. Some people may know her from *Arrested Development*, and she even appeared in an episode of *Curb Your Enthusiasm*.
Beyond her career, Ann is a devoted mom to a daughter she shares with a famous and groundbreaking actor. The couple met during a casting for a movie, which was Ann’s first casting job. They connected and got married in September 1993. Three years later, they welcomed a beautiful daughter, Mayan.
For a long time, their high-profile marriage seemed strong, but everything changed in the early 2000s when her famous husband got devastating news.
Doctors told him that his kidneys were failing because of a genetic condition, and he needed a transplant to survive. The surgery was urgent, but he delayed it for a year because he feared the media would find out. He didn’t want their 9-year-old daughter to read about his illness in the tabloids.
Even though he was a public figure, he managed to keep the illness a secret for some time. But soon, it became clear that he needed help. That’s when Ann offered something incredible — her own kidney.
For Ann, the choice was simple, as she said in an interview.
“It’s amazing to help another human being like this. You’re giving the gift of life,” she said.
The surgery was a success, and the famous actor was lucky that his body accepted the new organ. On top of that, he lost 45 pounds as his health got better. Thanks to Ann’s generosity, they looked forward to many more happy years together. But things didn’t turn out that way.
So, who was this man? None other than George Lopez, best known for starring in *The George Lopez Show*. Today, he is one of the most loved comedians, and in 2005, *Time* magazine named him one of “The Top 25 Hispanics in America.”
Abandoned by his parents
Born in 1961 in Los Angeles to a Mexican migrant worker, George Lopez had a tough start in life. His father left him when he was just two months old, and his mother left when he was 10. George was raised by his grandmother after that.
As a shy and introverted child, George spent much of his time daydreaming. No one could have guessed he would become a Hollywood star, but George turned his tough upbringing into comedy, using his pain to create jokes that connected with people everywhere.
“I started to find my comedic voice in the early ’90s, and it revolved around my grandmother as a sort of muse,” George once shared.
“She was really something. No car could go from zero to 60 as fast as my grandmother could go from calm to upset.”
**Discovered by Sandra Bullock**
It wasn’t long before Sandra Bullock noticed George, frustrated by the lack of Hispanic representation on TV.
ABC agreed, and in 2002, George became one of the few Latinos to star in a sitcom. The show was a huge success, with nearly 10 million viewers watching during its first season. George was the co-creator, writer, producer, and star.
Despite the success of *The George Lopez Show*, it was canceled in 2007, and George wasn’t pleased. He famously told the *Los Angeles Times*, “TV just became really, really white again.”
Professionally, it was a big setback, but at that time, George had just survived a life-threatening health issue.
**Secret surgery**
On April 19, 2005, George was taken into Cedars-Sinai Medical Center under the fake name “Tom Ace,” unsure if he would survive the surgery.
Thanks to Ann’s selfless act, he made it through.
Both George and Ann had surgery in side-by-side rooms, and the next day, their daughter visited them in the hospital. Ann said she didn’t feel any different with just one kidney.
Unfortunately, it all came crashing down, and this time, it was very public.
Ann discovered the heartbreaking truth by reading it in a tabloid. In that moment, she realized the man she had loved and supported was living a double life.
“It was a pretty devastating way to find out,” Ann shared on *TheHourGlass Podcast* in 2024.
This was something Ann couldn’t tolerate, and she made the painful choice to file for divorce. Unsurprisingly, their daughter Mayan stood by her mother’s side, offering support through the heartache.
Years later, Mayan shared more about her parents’ relationship on TikTok, even asking them directly why they divorced. Ann replied, “Your dad didn’t realize you have to stop dating other people when you get married.”
A year later, Mayan, who is also pursuing an acting career, posted another video with the caption, “He cheated. She divorced him. We kept almost everything.”
**Went into therapy**
George has been more reserved about the details but expressed regret for the pain he caused, especially to his daughter. The two didn’t speak for years.
Eventually, George went to therapy with her to work through their issues, admitting it was “awkward” but necessary.
“You have to be responsible for the trauma that you’ve caused,” George said. “For the first time in my life I said, ‘Yeah, I’m responsible for this, and I’m going to spend the rest of my life repairing it.’”
“To be a father is a very special thing,” George told *ET*. He continued, “To be estranged from your child is the worst thing ever, and for the first time in my life, I owned up to my mistakes. I’m lucky Mayan took me back into her life, and a little bit of the show is about that.”
Father and daughter eventually healed their relationship, and it led to something truly special. Not only did they reconcile, but they also turned their struggles into art. Now, they co-star in the NBC comedy *Lopez vs. Lopez*, a show loosely based on their journey of fixing a complicated relationship.
Remarkably, despite everything, Ann and George maintain a good relationship. In fact, years later, Mayan asked them if they still loved each other, and both admitted they did. Ann even called George her “husband and friend,” while George simply said, “I love Ann.”
