I really admire Jennifer Lopez’s commitment to working hard to get results. It’s pretty obvious that her workouts are, well, working, because she looks amazing.
Jennifer showed off her efforts in a series of photos commemorating her birthday week celebration, as she turned 49 on Tuesday. Jennifer and her boyfriend Alex Rodriguez took their kids, her twins Max and Emme and his daughters Ella and Natash,a to the Bahamas for a beach-themed birthday.
The singer showed off her curves and rock-hard abs in a barely-there black bikini, surrounded by friends and family and clothing a bottle of champagne. She captioned the shot, “Current birthday situation…yup.”
Alex also shared photos of his bikini-clad girlfriend and wished her the best on her 49th, writing, “For someone who has been about giving everything she has 365 days a year—to our children, our families, the world—I hope today, we can give you all the happiness you deserve.”
The Lo-Rez clan celebrated Jennifer’s birthday, as well as Alex’s, who turns 43 on Friday, at a beachfront home. A source told E! News that the family spent their first day there frolicking in the surf and making sand castles. The source noted that, “The kids are all very good friends and love hanging out together. They were running around playing games and splashing in the water.”
While the kids were at play, Jennifer and Alex got to enjoy some relaxation and “alone time.” According to E!, they took lots of photos and “loved being outside and strolling along the beach.” After the sun set, “They just listened to the waves as a family and then went right inside their house for dinner.”
Jennifer shared some photos from her birthday evening celebration, “a small gathering with the kids and some family and a couple of close friends,” on Instagram and thanked her fans for their well wishes.
I’d say I’d like to rock a bikini like Jennifer does when I turn 49, but that big day already happened for me, so now I’ve got something to strive for when I hit the mid-century mark next April. Happy Birthday, Jennifer.

Love that huge smile on her face in the sea. I don’t think she’s wearing makeup there. Gorgeous. So please stop those open mouth poses on the red carpet…
I came here to say the same thing, she looks adorable there and so youthful. Her fierce faces for the camera are so ridiculous.
It’s great that she’s happy but ARod grosses me out to no end.
I get more of a business arrangement than love match vibe from this relationship. She seemed happier with that dumb “bear” guy.
That is the most beautiful I’ve ever seen her look. She looks absolutely overjoyed and it’s such a sweet photo.
I’d also kill for my skin to look as good as hers does at 28 let alone 49.
I said the same thing! When I first saw this pic I thought it was an old one of her, she looks so youthful. Her skin is absolutely amazing and I am just straight up jealous of it. You go J. Lo.
I am not a jlo fan, but she does have amazing skin, and looks so young when she doesnt wear heavy makeup.
Yes! She’s gorgeous and looks great with a natural smile, not her fake, trying to look sexy and mysterious, facial expressions
Yep! I’ve always said this. Her red carpet open mouth “sultry” look actually ages her and makes her facial features look more harsh. When she smiles, she looks beautiful and youthful. It totally changes her face.
Man, she looks incredible! I’m her age and she’s my goals. lol
Happy Birthday, Jennifer!
Whatever her workout and diet should be sold everywhere as the formula for youth. She looks incredible and gets better as she gets older.
Totally agree with you, Elle!
My God, she looks insane. And i mean that as a compliment.
Yes.
What I really find impressive is that she doesn’t look like she is starving herself, you can see her body looks like that because she must exercise a lot. she looks strong and healthy.
Absolutely. JL looks like she’s positively glowing with good health and happiness. She looks (insanely) fit and feminine at the same time.
Goals.
Sigh.
You won’t get those muscles by starving yourself. You need to eat *more* than your body need to build muscle.
Isn’t she vegan? Whatever she’s doing, she looks incredible! The smiling photo in the water is unbelievable. She looks 20 years younger than she is!
Yes. Wow! She really has a strong work ethic on all sides of her profession.
She has unbelievable skin, would love to know her regimen.
She looks so amazing. Her hard work and focus are definitely in the lifegoals territory.
Anyone ever notice how he looks like a nutjob when he smiles? Like a total psycho. He needs to work on that
Seriously 49? That beach pic doesn’t look Photoshopped nor does she appear to have makeup on. Has she found the fountain of youth? Deal with the devil? Details please J Lo!
Seen her abs and immediately renounced to my chocolate. After the job I’ll go running!
I think she has great genes and she really works hard.
Happy Birthday!
(One of the tags is “Alex Gonzalez”, I think you meant Alex Rodriguez.)
She looks phenomenal! I would kill for abs like that!
She is beautiful! Radiates joy and looks way better than your typical 20-something year old! Happy Birthday, Jennifer!
DAMMIT JENNIFER I’m eating cake for breakfast :/
LOL. I was reading this while eating ice cream 🙂
Haha breakfast is the most important meal of the day
She looks great and she knows it.
20-year-olds don’t look as beautiful and fit as her. She is gorgeous!
J.Lo looks beyond amazing. I always remind people that she is a woman of color so her skin will age differently. But no amount of color gives a person what she has. She looks healthy and vibrant. She works hard for her body. I am not the biggest fan of hers, but I have to give her major respect for taking such care of herself. and she looks very happy with Alex. They make so much sense as a couple. They seem like they are interested in the same things. Good for them.
She’s extremely disciplined–no alcohol or coffee and trains like a maniac. It all shows on her skin.
Coffee is bad for your skin?!?!?
I’ve read elsewhere coffee is dehydrating and that anti-aging advice is to skip it.
Wow she looks 18 in that 1 photo. She is genetically blessed and works out like a fiend. She looks fantastic but I try to remind myself for us normal poor people that all the celebrities do lasers and facials. I went to my dermatologist last week and was floored by the options, technology, and $.
It’s like she’s taking her genetic lottery to the next level. I also saw in movie mother in law w Jane Fonda and in it she had forehead facial movements but not when she was on American idol. Her forehead was frozen. I think depending on her role she does sometimes do filler. Like less when she was on that cop show.
Again just so us regular people can level set our lives versus celebrities.
I think she botoxes a bit, but never overdoes it (that I’ve noticed). Her derm is excellent.
She looks amazing.
I feel like Jlo is one of those celebrities who were truly made for it. She obviously enjoys the attention and craves more. Celebrity is her drug. There’s never been any of “don’t look at me, I’m a person too and have a right to have a bad day.” Always a huge smile on her face on every photo. Always talks about her private life with anyone who will listen. Can you imagine Jlo going to rehab because she cants stand being so famous ? So lucky to have chosen the right career.
Good lord she’s stunning! One of the most beautiful women in Hollywood I think .
I love that she posted a photo of herself chowing down on actual cake!! Take notes, Giselle! LOL
Damn.
That is all.
I’ve actually started using her daily affirmations (I am youthful and timeless) because clearly they work. Also people, wear sunscreen everyday. Happy (belated) bday, JLo!
*immediately googles JLo’s lifestyle tips/tricks/diet/workout routine* because GAH DAMN! She looks incredible
All respect to this woman! She seems like a hard working, fun loving, awesome gal I’d love to be besties with. She is adorable in World of Dance, she call everyone ‘baby,’ and it sounds truly affectionate. Happy bday pretty lady!
She looks younger without makeup!!! I have to say, with the makeup she is looking more her age in some pics, bit rougher (as I’m sure some of her pics have soft filters), but with makeup she looks much older. Her body is great always has been. But I hate to say it, she will age regardless of how she looks and I always think she thinks she will be a unicorn forever, but time will catch up with her as well, no matter how good she looks.!
Her work ethic and discipline is incredible. Amazing.
Well , I’m officially depressed for the rest if the day after seeing this.
Wait… She’s 6 years OLDER than ARod ?? She looks 15 years younger than him.
