The X Factor USA[]

Lopez was hired as the host along with reality televison star Khloe Kardashian Odom for season 2 after season 1 host Steve Jones was fired. Critics liked Lopez, noticing how natural he is in front of the camera, but didn't like Odom due what many perceived as awkwardness on her part.

In April 2013, Lopez was announced as the show's sole host starting in season 3.

Personal Life[]

Lopez has been married to dancer Courtney Mazza, whom he had been dating since 2008, since December 1, 2012. The couple have two children, daughter Gia and son Dominic.
