By now, you’ve probably noticed that some of the biggest stars in the world can appear overnight and disappear just as quickly. That’s why we have phrases like “15 minutes of fame” and “one-hit wonder” to describe artists who fail to make a real cultural impact. On the other end of the spectrum are celebs who have stood the test of time and successfully appealed to entire generations of fans.
Nobody better embodies that second example than Jennifer Lopez. She has dazzled us with her songs and films for decades, but she remains just as relevant today as she was way back when. For that matter, she somehow managed to retain her youthful looks and remains the very portrait of beauty and grace.
Just how did J-Lo maintain her fame all this time? And what are the major life events that transformed her from a talented young woman to one of the biggest stars in the world? Keep reading to find out!
Jennifer Lopez is still stunning in middle age
It may sound shallow, but one of the first things we always notice about Jennifer Lopez is her beauty. The world fell in love with “Jenny from the block” decades ago, and most people back then would have assumed her looks would fade. Fortunately for the musician-turned-movie star, that assumption was completely wrong.
As of this writing, Lopez is 55 years old. If you’re picking your jaw off the floor at this news, it’s probably because Lopez looks…well…decades older than she actually is. In other words, she looks just as radiant now as when she first became famous, and we can’t help but wonder what the stunning star’s secret is!
