Lynda Lopez (born June 14, 1971) is an American journalist and the younger sister of actress and singer Jennifer Lopez.
Lopez was born and raised in the South Bronx, New York City to Puerto Rican parents Guadalupe Rodríguez, a kindergarten teacher, and David Lopez, a computer specialist. She has two siblings, Jennifer and Leslie. She received her primary and secondary education while growing up in the Bronx. After graduating from Preston High School in 1989, Lopez enrolled at the C.W. Post Campus of Long Island University, where she majored in Broadcasting and Communications.
Lopez started her radio broadcasting career at WBAB and WLIR on Long Island. She later went to work for WXXP-FM, also on Long Island, as both Assistant Program Director and Music Director. She later worked as a DJ for WKTU in the 10PM-2AM timeslot. After working for five years in radio, she landed a position as entertainment correspondent for WPIX's morning show.
Lopez was employed by WCBS Radio until August 2013 as a news anchor. She left to work for her sister Jennifer Lopez in LA. After this one-year hiatus, Lopez returned there in the summer of 2014.
During the late 1990s and early 2000s, she worked as a VH1 VJ for a short time with Kane and Rebecca Rankin. In 2000, she hosted a special in which she interviewed her sister, Jennifer, in which the two discussed their childhood as well as "J-Lo"'s rising music career. Some of J-Lo's music videos were played and her then-newest video, "Feelin' So Good," made its VH1 premiere during this special. During this time Lopez was also the morning news entertainment reporter for the WB11 in New York City, WPIX.
