True love involves supporting your SO's projects and passions, and that's exactly what José Antonio Bastón is doing in Marbella, Spain. The businessman took a few days off from running media conglomerate Televisa to accompany his new wife, actress and producer Eva Longoria, to the European country, as her charity sponsored the Global Gift Gala 2016.
Before hitting the red carpet in a navy blue Rosa Clará dress and spending some time with Alessandra Ambrosio, Eva volunteered at the Casa Global Gift, which hosts kids in need, with her man by her side. The newlywed couple was seen leaving together, with Pepe sporting a wide smile as he followed his wife, who was in a cute "I'm a Global Gifter" tank top. Scroll ahead to see more photos from the pair's charitable outing, then remember their gorgeous wedding.
Let me preface this by saying that, in general, losing weight is no easy feat. Add Latin culture - deliciously salty and carb-filled food, family members who don't understand dieting, often unrealistic body and beauty standards - into the mix, and it can feel like an uphill battle that arroz con pollo and asados are endlessly trying to derail.
Know the feeling? Read on for the totally real struggles I've faced in my own personal weight loss/maintenance/just-trying-to-be-healthier journey as a Panamanian American with very persistent relatives, and a deep love for tacos. Then, take a scroll through some delightful guilt-free recipes.

Lauren (aka Laurie) Hernandez is breaking all kinds of barriers as one of the youngest gymnasts to ever join Team USA at the Olympics.
The 16-year-old Latina powerhouse is headed to Rio as a member of a groundbreakingly diverse group of young athletes that truly represent the cultural makeup of America, including veterans Gabby Douglas, 20, and Aly Raisman, 22, as well as fellow newcomers Simone Biles, 19, and Madison Kocian, 19.

Adobo can mean lots of different things - in Filipino cuisine, for example, it's a stew dish made of chicken, meat, or fish - but to Latinos everywhere, the word conjures a more clear and conclusive idea: either a garlicky all-purpose spice powder seasoning (Goya, anyone?) or the tomato, vinegar, and garlic sauce marinade that comes in a can of chipotle chilies. Either version is incredibly versatile, making any dish more flavorful and spicy. But nothing really beats the convenience of the can of peppers in adobo.
Whether you're cooking a traditional Latin dish or not, it's safe to say you can't go wrong with this spice when looking to add a unique kick. Here are 16 recipes that start with a can of the beloved Latin sauce.
Years after Jennifer Lopez portrayed Selena in the now-iconic movie about her life, the singer and Shades of Blue star still knows how to channel the Queen of Tejano like no other. If you have any doubts, all you have to do is take a peek at her Today show performance outfit on July 11.
Jennifer took the stage with her pal Lin-Manuel Miranda to sing their new song, "Love Make the World Go Round," which features a message of love and support for the LGBTQ community - and she did it all while wearing a white two-piece outfit with sheer paneling and lace detailing the late Selena totally would've worn.
The chic look, featuring superflattering high-waisted skinny pants, a matching crop top, and pearl-hued pumps, showed off sexy hints of skin, making Jennifer's fresh-faced makeup and flirty half-up hairstyle pop as she had fun with Lin-Manuel before an audience of early-rising fans. Can we also talk about her glittery microphone? Read on to see more pictures of her summery ensemble, and then listen to the ultimate J Lo playlist.
I speak 2.5 languages. I'm fluent in Spanish (my birth language) and English, and I know enough Italian to help a lost tourist in the subway. Though being able to communicate in more than one tongue has its serious benefits - there are more jobs available to me, I have an easier time when traveling abroad, some studies even say we're smarter (tooting my own horn here) - there are struggles. Boy, are there struggles.
More than once, I have spoken Spanish to someone who has no idea what I'm saying, and words have come out of my mouth in a total jumble of Spanglish that not even I understand. Minor issues, sure, but if you're bilingual, you know it doesn't end there. Keep reading for a list of the everyday situations you probably also face - bilinguals, unite!
Dominican-Puerto-Rican singer and Bronx native Romeo Santos just hit a major milestone on YouTube - and we seriously mean major! The bachata singer's "Propuesta Indecente" music video has been seen more than 1 billion times on the video platform, and, yes, that's billion with a B. The sexy minifilm, featuring Eiza González, is now officially the second Spanish song to join the YouTube billionaires club, so far only counting Enrique Iglesias's "Bailando" as a Latin member.
Though that number is incredibly impressive - consider there are 7.1 billion people on the planet - we are not surprised to see Romeo hit the milestone. From his days as part of Aventura, he's been a staple in Latin music, and with his new position as CEO of Roc Nation Latino, he's only en route to become a bigger star. Watch the video above!

Read on to see more pictures, and then find out what menswear trend Antonio is actively trying to bring back in style.

Casper Smart won't let a little leg injury stop him from spending a few days on set with longtime girlfriend Jennifer Lopez.
