Jennifer Lopez Calls Ex-Husband Marc Anthony, Boyfriend Alex Rodriguez ‘Family’
Jennifer Lopez is grateful for the love and support she has been receiving from her ex-husband, Marc Anthony, and boyfriend, Alex Rodriguez.
Earlier this week, it was revealed that the trio are working together to raise funds for the disaster relief operations in Puerto Rico and Florida. While speaking with People, Lopez said that the two men in her life have no problem working together especially for such causes.
“There’s just no question about it when it comes to things like this. The truth is, we are all one. We are all family. We are doing this because it’s the right thing to do. Our community needs us right now, and we are very aware that we are leaders in our community. If we step out and do something, hopefully people will follow and do the same,” she said.
Lopez, Anthony and Rodriguez teamed up for a special benefit concert and telethon called “One Voice: Somos Live!” that will feature a handful of celebrities. All proceeds from the Oct. 14 will be donated to various relief operations. Some of the celebrities that will perform at the event include Demi Lovato, Gwen Stefani, Maroon 5, Ricky Martin, Stevie Wonder, Selena Gomez, Kim Kardashian, Ryan Seacrest, Gina Rodriguez, Sofia Vergara, Ciara and more.
The “Shades of Blue” actress also expressed her gratitude to Rodriguez who donated a huge sum of money from his own pocket and solicited donations from people in the sports world. “Honestly, his contribution has been massive in this effort,” the actress said.
“We couldn’t have done a lot of the fundraising without him. He brought in a whole different faction of people that Hollywood and the music industries aren’t really connected to. We were lucky to have him involved and leading this with us,” she continued.
“One Voice: Somos Live!” will air simultaneously on Telemundo and Univision at 8 p.m. EDT on Oct. 14. It will also be released on NBC at 10 p.m. on the same day. Lopez currently works with network in the series “Shades of Blue,” as well as the reality TV competition, “World of Dance.”
