Adamari López Torres (born May 18, 1971 in Humacao, Puerto Rico) is a Puerto Rican actress famous for participating in several Puerto Rican and Mexican soap operas.
[edit] Early careerThe daughter of an undertaker, Luis López, Adamari started her career at the age of six, alongside legendary Puerto Rican actress Johanna Rosaly and Venezuelan singer José Luis Rodríguez, El Puma, in the Telemundo Canal 2 production of the Cristina Bazán soap opera. Her talent indicated a future superstar. WAPA-TV next chose her to play Iris Chacon and Daniel Guerrero's daughter in Yo sé que mentía. She was then nine years old, and was given one of the most important roles of the story. López became a household name. A short, two chapter appearance on Vivir Para Ti followed in 1983, and after that, López decided to dedicate herself to her studies. She holds a B.A. in Communications from the University of the Sacred Heart in Puerto Rico. [edit] Adulthood and fameAfter reaching the age of majority, she came back, participating in several plays at Puerto Rico's Teatro Tapia, San Juan's premier and oldest theater, and getting the attention of Mexican producers. She traveled to Mexico next, after the invitation by the producers to try out there, and became a superstar in that country as well, working in many top soap operas, including Camila and the national super hit Amigas y Rivales. López also participated in Mujer, Casos de la Vida Real, where she played a victim of rape that later turned lesbian. [edit] Recent yearsIn 2004, four-foot ten inch Lopez participated in the soap opera, Mujer de Madera and Corazones al límite. During the recording of that soap opera, her father, Luis, a respected and successful undertaker, suffered a heart attack and had to be hospitalized and operated on. Lopez was given immediate permission to travel to Puerto Rico and be with her father for as long as she needed. Her father recuperated, but only five percent of his heart is currently working. Lopez had to return to Mexico after her father was released from the hospital, but she flew back to Puerto Rico every time that the filming schedule allowed her to. [edit] Personal life and relationshipsHer private life has become a favorite subject of paparazzi and gossip magazines, and her breakup from actor Mauricio Islas was well published. López is the wife of fellow Puerto Rican singing super star Luis Fonsi. In 2006, Lopez and Fonsi announced they would be getting married during the summer of that year. They were married on June 3, 2006 in Puerto Rico. On November 8, 2009, Adamari López and Luis Fonsi released a joint statement where they announced they were separating. They have denied a divorce process, but all they say is that they need their space to see what happens in the end.[1] [edit] HealthOn March 22, 2005, Lopez held a press conference in San Juan, that she had been diagnosed with breast cancer. Her then-boyfriend, Luis Fonsi, announced at the same press conference that he was canceling his 2005 international tour to be by her side. She is expected to recover; her cancer was caught at "stage 1", which is a very early stage, and it has not spread to other parts of her body. She underwent cancer surgery; in 2006 it was reported that she is in remission. [edit] Filmography[edit] Telenovelas
