“In life, there’s a yin and a yang and a balance. And when you don’t have balance, you have comedy.” You must have heard this line, which was said by one of the well-known comedians, George Lopez.

Finally, in 2003, Lopez released Team Leader, which was nominated for a Grammy Award for the best comedy album. So by looking at his career, he must have amassed a large sum of money.

Failed Relationship

Unfortunately, the former husband and wife couldn’t make it work forever and called their marriage off in 2011 after a remarkable 18 years together. Ann filed a divorce claiming “irreconcilable differences.”
