Jennifer Lopez Receives $30M Donation With Marc Anthony, Alex Rodriguez’s Help
Jennifer Lopez recently revealed that she and her team received over $30 million in donations following the live telecast of “One Voice: Somos Live!” on Saturday, Oct. 14.
On her Instagram account, the singer shared a photo of herself with her boyfriend, Alex Rodriguez, who was also a big help in making the event possible. In her caption, Lopez thanked everyone who donated not only money, but also their time in giving live audiences and television viewers good entertainment.
Lopez, Rodriguez and Marc Anthony pooled their efforts together to hold a one-night-only concert that will benefit the disaster relief operations in Puerto Rico and Florida. “One Voice: Somos Live!” aired on Telemundo and Univision simultaneously. It was also released on NBC at 10 p.m. EDT on Saturday.
The concert featured various performances by Camila Cabello, Demi Lovato, Maroon 5, Gwen Stefani, Ricky Martin and more. Appearances from Kim Kardashian, Ellen DeGeneres, Selena Gomez and more were also featured in the event.
Prior to the live show, Lopez revealed that the proceeds from the concert will go directly to various organizations such as American Red Cross, United Way, United for Puerto Rico, Reach Out Worldwide and more.
After the successful show, Lopez also gushed over Rodriguez, who stars in ABC’s “Shark Tank.” On her Instagram account, the “Shades of Blue” actress shared a photo of Rodriguez with a serious look on his face. He is also holding a folder with what looked like a sheet of paper filled with information.
Lopez, who is very proud of her boyfriend, also gave the former New York Yankees player credit for helping connect the people in the sports and entertainment industry together. While speaking with People, Lopez acknowledged the fact that the fundraising for “One Voice: Somos Live!” wouldn’t have been possible if not for her beau.
“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 said.
Lopez and Rodriguez also worked closely with the “All I Have” singer’s ex-husband, Anthony, for the event. The “World of Dance” judge said that all three of them are like “family.”
