In celebration of her 50th birthday (how? HOW is she 50?? She looks amazing), Jennifer Lopez had a blowout party at Gloria Estefan's estate that looked like the party of the year.
Oh, and Alex Rodriguez bought her a gorgeous, bright red Porsche, no big deal.
Yesterday, J. Lo wished herself a happy birthday with a video of her epic dance moves—proving she's about to continue killing it for the foreseeable future.

Jennifer Lopez turned 50, and to celebrate, she, her fiancé Alex Rodriguez, and her friends partied in the perfect J. Lo way: With a big blowout, at the Estefan home in Miami, with DJ Khaled hosting and Ashanti singing, gorgeous decorations and cake, and fireworks. Oh, and A. Rod got J. Lo a gorgeous red 2019 Porsche 911 GTS, too, on top of that (pics here of her taking the car for a spin). Seems about right to me!

The night of the big party, J. Lo wore a gooorgeous golden dress with a bra top and multiple straps across the body—more pictures here—and A. Rod was absolutely dapper in a suit and tie. A. Rod shared pics of the kids, who were there (apparently J. Lo's twins sang to her!) and him dorky-dancing (super cute) next to his bride-to-be.

Here's the video of J. Lo and A. Rod partying it up like teenagers, complete with head-banging:

And then later, J. Lo sang (no surprise) while being hoisted up and carried around by two men in sparkly suits (so, you know, just a regular day for J. Lo):

Organism, Screenshot, Fictional character,

Glorious. A. Rod promised we'd get more video from the night, which guaranteed will be amazing.
