1.A hard early life
Jennifer Lopez is a world-class performer. She has charmed the audiences with her moves, sweet vocals, and her tremendous acting skills over the last two decades. But all of that didn’t come easy. Being a woman of Latin origin, the superstar had to put in a lot of effort and work twice as hard compared to other artists in the industry. The hitmaker, often referred to as ‘Jenny from the Block’, was born into a Puerto-Rican family of five. A young Lopez lived with her family in a small apartment in The Bronx before they could move into a two-story house in the same locality. Her parents encouraged her to put on shows for her friends and family while they worked to make ends meet. Unfortunately, Lopez did not receive this support when she was older, which led to a fallout between her and her mother. This rift caused her to leave home at a young age. She found herself homeless and spent months sleeping in a dance studio until she finally hit it off.
