THE MILESTONE BIRTHDAY IS SOMETHING TO MAKE A SONG AND DANCE ABOUT – AND THE STAR IS DOING EXACTLY THAT

Jenny from the Block hits the big 5-0 on July 24, but don’t go thinking it’s time for her to hang up her heels. ‘I feel like I’m turning 25!’ she quips.The legendary Latina singer, actress, producer and businesswoman is determined to celebrate her birthday long and hard, before working on making the next 50 years even better.

To go with JLo’s positive mindset are those incredible looks, but they haven’t come easily. Jennifer has worked her butt off for her banging bod – which was especially inspired by her role as a stripper in her upcoming flick Hustlers.

PARTY TIME!

That steaminess will hit screens later this year, though. Right now, the heat is on the dance floor as Jen shakes her famous backside on her It’s My Party tour. It’s the JLo way of ushering in the milestone birthday, with hordes of fans and family cheering on.

‘It’s a big concert tour, but my aim is to make it feel like an intimate party as well,’ says the singer of her show, which kicked off of June 7. ‘We’re dancing, singing and having a good time.’

Jen’s decision to mark her milestone doing what she does best all comes down to one very humble reason: family. As well as her 11-year-old twins Max and Emme, and her fiancé Alex Rodriguez, 43, Jen considers her long-time supporters as her extended family. So, she says, it felt right she include them in her celebrations, too.
