“Happy birthday @jlo!🎂💐🥳Last night, out of the blue, I found this picture. I guess it meant I had to share it on your special day,” Hayek wrote.

She also looked back at the duo’s early days of fame. “It made me think back to a time when they said we wouldn’t make it. Then they said we wouldn’t last 😂😂😂. Keep shining chica and keep enjoying every second of it!”

Lopez replied in the comment section with emojis: “🤍🤍🤍🥳.” Fans also reacted, “Latin legends!!!,” “Two Queens,” “Latin Icons,”and many more sweet complements. Both actresses are part of a generation that opened the doors for many other Latinas in Hollywood.
