Jennifer Lopez and Ex-Husband Marc Anthony to Perform at the 'Premios Juventud'

Former husband and wife Jennifer Lopez and Marc Anthony will be part of this year's Premios Juventud hosted by Univision for the very first time. Lopez will perform alongside Cuban-born singer Pitbull during the opening show to celebrate the tenth anniversary of award show, The Huffington Post reported. She is also set to receive the "World Icon" award.

The multi-award winning singer and actress, who recently got her very own star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame, has recorded several songs with Pitbull that have become international hits. The duo will perform some of them, including "Live it Up," "On The Floor" and "Dance Again."

The Puerto Rican star will receive one of the highest honors of the night: the World Icon award, which is exclusively given to those Hispanic artists that have achieved global fame. This is the second time an artist receives it in the Premios Juventud. The previous winner was Lopez's ex-husband Marc Anthony.

Lopez could also take home the "Actress Who Steals The Screen" award, since she is nominated in the film category.
