JLo Covers Hola!

Jennifer Lopez is on the cover of Hola! USA! The photoshoot, which was shot by Patrick Demarchelier, took place at her home in the Hamptons. Jennifer talked about the Spanish album, Por Primera Vez (For The First Time), saying “I really love singing in Spanish. There’s just something about it that is more romantic and passionate to me, and that’s such a core part of who I am. I feel like I sing better in Spanish. We’re all interpreting songs as we go through life, right?”

She also opened up about her relationship with Alex Rodriguez, saying “I’m in a good relationship. I feel like I can say that for the first time— I don’t know — maybe ever. And not that I didn’t have great relationships, full of love and adventure, but this is the first relationship I’ve been where I feel like we really make each other better. We complement each other, and there’s really pure, true love. Just wanting to support the other person and make them happy. So there’s a different selflessness in the love that’s beautiful and different. And healthy!” Read the full interview and watch behind the scenes videos at Hola.com.
