The brightest star of the 2017 Billboard Music Awards is none other than Jennifer Lopez, who put up a stunning performance of her new single “Mirate,” which will be included in her upcoming new Spanish album.

After her emotional performance, Entertainment Tonight interviewed Lopez to discuss her upcoming Spanish album. While talking about the album, JLo revealed that her boyfriend, Alex Rodriguez, has recently become a fan of her new music.

“It’s an emotional song,” Lopez said. “A lot of the songs on the album are like that, even the up-tempo ones have like this beautiful lyrical content… about love and life.”

“I think it’s one of the best albums I’ve made in a long time and I’m super proud of it,” she continued, mentioning that A-Rod has been digging the songs in her new album.

“He loves it,” she said. “I’m so excited, you know, every time I finish something, I bring it home and I want him to hear it.”

“He’s so supportive. He’s such a supportive person and he’s so lovely.”

When asked why Rodriguez wasn’t at the Billboard Latin Music Awards, she said that A-Rod was working in Connecticut but will come visit her in Miami soon.

Lopez bagged two Billboard Latin Music Awards, including Premio de la Estrella Award (Telemundo’s Star Award) and Best Social Media.

The audience cheered for Lopez as soon as she concluded her performance at the awards show, but her ex-husband Marc Anthony was the first to give her a standing ovation.

In the aforementioned Entertainment Weekly interview, Jennifer Lopez gushed over Marc Anthony and said that it was a pleasure collaborating with him on her new album.

“I mean there’s nobody better than him in Latin music,” Jennifer said. “I am probably his biggest fan. Honestly, to have him work on the album with me was scary, because I thought, ‘We’re gonna fight,’ but there is nobody else I would want to do music with.”

Lopez also said that their music collaboration made their “relationship even better.”
