The following year, her role in Steven Soderbergh's "Out of Sight" became a huge hit, catapulting her to the top of the charts.
She began focusing on her music career in 1998, and her debut single, "My Love," released the following year, topped the US charts for five consecutive weeks. Her follow-up, "Waiting for Tonight," was nominated for a Grammy Award. Her album, "On the 6," released that same year, was a huge hit, selling 7 million copies worldwide, establishing her as a top singer. In her personal life, she married in 1997 and 2001, but quickly divorced within a year of each marriage.

She has launched numerous brands, including J.Lo, which focuses on fragrances, and the now-discontinued luxury line Sweetface. She also appeared in a Louis Vuitton advertisement in 2003. In 2011, Gucci featured Jennifer and her then-2-year-old twins in an advertising campaign for its new children's line, launched in Spring/Summer 2011, appearing alongside her mother and daughter.
