Lopez relates with her Unstoppable character

She told the media outlet, “We both grew up Latina in this country. We both had children and had hopes and dreams for them. We both had challenging relationships, which left us holding our families together.” She continued about how her character had to learn to stay “strong” throughout her life, as reported by Page Six.

She shared, “From the minute women are born, we’re always having to prove ourselves, to show we’re good enough. That creates a type of strength. And then a lot of us give birth — and there’s nothing that makes you stronger than doing that.” While she explained the connection she felt with her character she did not divulge much about her “challenging relationships” as she is headed for her fourth divorce.
