Whoa! We knew Jennifer Lopez was going to perform at the Latin Grammy Awards, but we had no idea she was going to do a duet with ex-husband and now producer, Marc Anthony, who just happened to be named “Person of the Year” by the Latin Recording Academy for his musical legacy and his relentless humanitarian efforts, which speak to his generous spirit, passion, and commitment to making a positive impact on more than just the stage.

Lopez then proceeded to honor Anthony, acknowledging his career and presenting him with the “Person of the Year” award calling him “my love” and “soulmate.”
The former spouses are joining forces in real life to deliver Jennifer Lopez’s second Spanish-Language album next year with Marc as the producer under his company Magnus Media and Sony Music Latin. What is still unclear is if this remake of the 1984 hit will make the cut for the new record and if they will do more duets together. “I am so excited and really looking forward to this new musical journey and to celebrate my Latin roots with Marc Anthony and the Sony/Magnus family,” Lopez said in a statement at the time the news they were working together again broke.
“Jennifer has had enormous accomplishments in her career and has been representing our culture all over the world from day one,” Marc Anthony said in a statement at the time. “Her artistry, professionalism and passion for music are just some of the many attributes that have earned her a unique place in the entertainment world that very few people have been able to obtain. I am looking forward to our creative collaboration and to be part of continuing her musica
