It’s a historic first for Maluma…
The 26-year-old Colombian singer/songwriter and heartthrob has made history as ELLE magazine’s first-ever solo male cover.
Maluma shares the February cover spotlight with Jennifer Lopez, who graces a separate cover of the magazine.
Maluma’s cover features the global superstar rocking green hair.
Although the Colombian singer-songwriter’s world tour was suspended last year due to the coronavirus pandemic, Maluma’s popularity has continued to skyrocket with a high octane performances at the MTV Video Music Awards and the American Music Awards, a “Hawái” remix with The Weeknd and more.
“Jennifer, she’s not only a work partner — I would say she is my friend,” Maluma said of J.Lo during the interview. “She is someone I admire, and she is someone I’ve followed since I was a little kid. So for me, being part of this movie was almost surreal. It was a big surprise when they called me, but I was ready for it.”
In May, Maluma and Lopez will star alongside Owen Wilson in the rom-com Marry Me.
