“Buenos Noches, Welcome to the White House,” the president said Tuesday night as the South Lawn was transformed into “Fiesta Latina” – a night to celebrate Latin Music.

The president said that Latin music should not only be noted for the “spirit of diversity,” but also by the ability it has to make you want to just dance.

“Even though it’s constantly evolving and changing, Latin music speaks to us in a language we can all understand — about hope and joy, sorrow and pain, friendship and love. It moves us, and it tends to make us move a little bit ourselves.”

Jennifer Lopez may look the same as she always has, but the star says she’s been transformed since becoming a mother to her twins, 18-month-old Max and Emme.

“There’s nothing as huge as giving birth to another human being and having to be responsible for another life,” Lopez tells InStyle, for its September, 15th-Anniversary issue. “There’s you before kids, and there’s you after kids – and they’re not the same you.”

The singer-actress, who celebrated turning 40 with a blowout bash in July, says her outlook on all aspects of life – from her music to relationships and business ventures – has shifted gears.

“[Parenthood] totally changes your perspective on everything,” says Lopez. “You don’t come first anymore. There’s somebody else you care more about than yourself.”

For the active entrepreneur, that means cutting down on work and stepping down from the “hamster wheel,” a previous lifestyle that was all about deadlines – a whirl in which she “felt like I couldn’t say no.”

“I’m at a point in my life when I just don’t feel the need to put out anything unless I totally, absolutely feel it says what I want to say,” Lopez says about her music career. She has, however, received inspiration from her twins – especially Max, whose first few steps inspired the proud mom to write a song.

Marital Ups and Downs
When it comes to marriage, Lopez, who’s been wed to Marc Anthony for five years, admits she’s “still figuring it out as I go along,” and she’s had her share of “hard experiences and a lot of ups and downs and a lot of mistakes.”

One way she’s figuring it all out is by reading books about relationships. “It’s the never-ending question – what is the key to love?”

As for what she’s gleaned, “I believe that in life you learn through experience,” she says. “I’m old enough to know now that relationships take work. That it’s not an easy thing.”

Not only did Jennifer Lopez shed 50 pounds after giving birth to her twins, Max and Emme, in February 2008 — but the 40-year-old mom has kept the weight off and looks hotter than ever!

Granted, staying in shape hasn’t been an easy feat. “I had to work really hard,” Jennifer confesses.

But luckily, the sweat and suffering has all been worth it for the singer and actress. “She isn’t afraid to push herself in the gym,” her trainer, Gunnar Peterson, tells In Touch. “She’s not somebody who blows it off because she’s working 18-hour days on the set. She finds a way to get back in, even if it means exercising really late at night.”

Peterson tells In Touch that Jennifer exercises for at least one hour, anywhere from two to six days a week. “After a 10-minute warm-up, we do a series of strength and resistance moves, coupled with high-intensity cardio intervals and some flexibility work.”

Even though she’s serious about training, she’s careful not to lose her curves. “I do weights and cardio, but I try to take a soft, feminine approach,” Jennifer has said.

As far as her diet, J. Lo has been using the meal delivery service Freshology (freshology.com) since October 2008. She sticks to about 1,200 to 1,400 calories a day, and eats lean proteins, fruits, vegetables, good fats and lowglycemic carbs. “She stays ready so she doesn’t ever have to get ready,” Peterson tells In Touch. “She just keeps her foot on the pedal.”
