National pride: Parade king Marc Anthony and his wife Jennifer Lopez make their way up Fifth Avenue during the Puerto Rican Day Parade in New York


Jennifer Lopez has always been proud of her Puerto Rican heritage.

So Hollywood's most successful Latin American superstar couldn't have been prouder as she led a parade through the streets of New York on Puerto Rica day.

The 40-year-old waved her parents national flag with undisguised pride as she and husband Marc Anthony rode in the back seat of a limousine.

Revellers spilled out onto the streets to photograph the couple, blocking the roads.
Jennifer, the mother of twins, showed off her slim figure in a strapless white dress.

Underneath she wore a black bra. While an unusual look, the bra prevented her from any accidental flashes of flesh due to her energetic waving.

Anthony wore a sash declaring him King Of the Parade.


Sharing a kiss: The couple were the center of attention


Flying the flag: Jennifer embraced the event, waving her husband's national colours


Like his wife the singer/songwriter is the son of Puerto Rican immigrants.

Jennifer grew up in the Bronx with her parents Guadalupe (née Rodríguez), a kindergarten teacher, and David Lopez, a computer specialist, who were both born in Ponce, Puerto Rico.

Anthony was also born in New York, to Guillermina, a housewife, and Felipe Muñiz, a musician and hospital lunchroom worker.


Revealing outfit: Jennifer wore a black bra under her white strapless dress, to save her modesty


Last week Jennifer stole the show at the MTV Movie Awards with her hip-hop dance with actor Tom Cruise.

She gushed about the experience.

'I'm such a hard worker, and I'm kind of intense about my job. It's great to work with someone who is just as intense and passionate and crazy about getting everything right, she said.

'[Cruise] called me a month before and said, "I have this idea. I'm doing this thing for the MTV Movie Awards, and I want it to be a surprise",' she told Extra.


The Royal family: Anthony and Jennifer walk hand in hand through the crowd


Cruise performed in character as Les Grossman.

'The thing with that routine is that it is one of the hardest routines. But he did it. He really, really did it.

'And he did a great job. I was really proud of him.

Lopez also denied reports that she and Anthony had renewed their wedding vows.
'We didn't. This is an absolute lie,' The Back-Up Plan star said.

'We just had our anniversary and had some people over to the house.'

'Maybe we will one day...' she added.


No stopping them: After their convertible car broke down the two just swapped to a golf buggy
