Adamari López, the celebrated “Hoy Día” personality, has captivated audiences not only with her vibrant presence but also with her inspiring journey of self-discovery and transformation. At 50, she graces the cover of People en Español alongside her daughter Alaïa, 6, offering a glimpse into her life as a single mom. This new chapter follows her split with Alaïa’s father, dancer Toni Costa, in late May, marking a period of significant change and growth.
Embracing a New Chapter: From Heartbreak to Health
Following the separation, the Puerto Rican-born actress embarked on a journey to shed pounds and get fit, documenting her progress through videos posted on her Instagram. These glimpses into her workouts at her Miami home showcased her determination and resilience. The new “Así se baila” judge has lost over 20 pounds since becoming a Weight Watchers ambassador last year.
López's transformation is not merely physical; she emphasizes the importance of mental and emotional well-being, revealing that she is also in therapy. This holistic approach underscores her commitment to healing and building a stronger, healthier version of herself. With unwavering resolve, she declares, "Two words for her current situation: No regrets."
Finding Peace and Purpose
While López remains discreet about the specific reasons for her split with Costa, she conveys a sense of peace and acceptance regarding the decision. She emphasizes the importance of making choices that prioritize her well-being and that of her daughter. “There were things that I couldn’t allow, not just for me but because of my daughter,” she tells the magazine of her breakup. “He and I know what happened. He knows the reason. I didn’t take this decision lightly; it wasn’t a tantrum, it wasn’t on a whim, it wasn’t a punishment.”
The Perspective of Toni Costa
Costa, 38, was also interviewed separately for the article and apparently hopes for a reconciliation with his ex-fiancée. They were together roughly a decade after competing on “Mira Quién Baila” in 2011. “I miss her, I love her, we have to win each other back. I miss our home,” he said. “We have both invested a lot into that home and of course I miss it.”

Coparenting and the Future
Whatever happens, it seems López is ready to embrace coparenting with her estranged love. “What’s best is what will happen and we will pull through. Either way he will always be in our lives,” she says.
The Role of Weight Watchers
Weight Watchers, now known as WW, has played a significant role in López's weight loss journey. WW is a weight loss program that targets food selection via a points-based system. The program has been around for decades and many celebrities have touted its benefits in helping them hit their goal weight or staying on track with a healthy lifestyle. Some famous people have also signed on as WW ambassadors. This program focuses on a points-based system to guide food choices and promote a healthy lifestyle.
Weight Watchers: A Celebrity Favorite
Adamari López is not alone in finding success with Weight Watchers. The program has garnered a dedicated following among celebrities who have publicly praised its effectiveness.
Oprah Winfrey is one of the most famous Weight Watchers celebrities. She became a spokesperson, and bought a percent of the company, in 2015. Tina Fey has said that she used WW to help drop some pounds after she moved from Chicago to New York to join Saturday Night Live. Jennifer Hudson, Charles Barkley, and Ginnifer Goodwin have all spoken positively about Weight Watchers as well.
A Goal Within Reach
The TV star’s goal is reportedly to lose 10 more pounds, but she told PEE she already feels better physically and mentally, getting therapy as well. López's journey is a testament to the power of self-care, determination, and a holistic approach to well-being.
