Jennifer Lopez’s mother just made out a big winner in her daughter’s rekindled romance with Ben Affleck.
Guadalupe "Lupe" Rodríguez is enjoying the spoils that raising one of the world’s most influential pop stars provides as the 75-year-old just put her acting chops on full display in a commercial for WynnBET’s new sports betting app.
The advertising spot is directed by Lopez’s boyfriend and sees Rodríguez risking it all by throwing all of her coins into a slot machine, of course, hoping for a big payout just as the "Argo" star meanders on by.
"Come on, Lupe!" she exudes while simultaneously playing two machines at once. "You can do this, girl, just like the slots in St. Louis!"
