Although they're trying their best to keep the information from the media, Adamari Lopez and most-desired Spanish dancer Toni Costa can no longer deny that they are dating and very much in love -- to the point that he left everything in his native Spain, where he resides, and settled permanently in Miami to give free reign to their feelings.

Adamari and Toni met on the hit Spanish-language dance show 'Mira Quien Baila!' and the chemistry between them was something they couldn't ignore, but they left alone -- the first time around -- only to rediscover it when they danced a very sensual tango, in which they couldn't contain themselves, sealing the number with an unscripted kiss on the lips.

Through one of the couple's closest friends, AOL Latino has learned that the flirting and going out were frequent throughout the show. It was only after the show wrapped that the couple decided to give each other an opportunity at love.

"At the end of the show, Toni was to leave for Spain, as stated in his contract with Endemol, the production company that puts on the reality show for Univision. It was there, while in front of them [the producers] that they had the opportunity to separate, but they chose to give it a go. Adamari asked him to stay. While he looked for a place to live, he would stay with her in her apartment," said the close friend, who is very happy for the couple because they are "good people and they look to be very happy and in love."

In the past, Adamari and Toni were approached by TV host Rodner Figueroa while she accompanied him in obtaining his Florida driver's license. When Figueroa asked about her involvement with Toni, she laughed it off, saying she was only doing a friend a favor.

Our source tells us that the outing for the license was one of the first attempts the dancer is making to move closer to his new love, from whom he doesn't wish to separate for a second. Adamari even introduced Toni to her parents, who gave her their blessing and are very happy with her new beau.

It's no secret that in 2005, Adamari Lopez dealt with a very scary cancer diagnosis. Thankfully the novela beauty beat the disease a year later, but she most certainly hasn't forgotten about it. In fact, Adamari has now become a very vocal proponent for the Susan G. Komen Breast Cancer Foundation.

Speaking very candidly about her experience, Lopez confessed that there were times she worried about covering her treatment costs. That's why she's helping to raise money now. In fact, Adamari claims that a big reason she joined the Univision dance show, ¡Mira Quién Baila!, was to increase awareness about the disease.

But don't think that Lopez is stopping there. She also happens to be a new Latina spokeswoman for Yoplait’s "Save Lids To Save Lives" campaign. The popular yogurt company has plastered Adamari's face all over their site and launched a program that donates 10 cents to the Komen Foundation for every one of their bottle lids redeemed.

With all of this noble work that she’s been doing, it’s no wonder that People en Español named Lopez one of their "Estrellas del Año." We're extremely proud of Adamari and you can bet we'll be rooting for her to take down that Spanish mirror ball on ¡Mira Quién Baila!

We can only imagine the difficult decisions that were being made at People en Español last month. Selecting their annual "Estrellas del Año" is not an easy task (especially when you consider all of the year's newsworthy Latinos). Ultimately they chose Galilea Montijo, Monserrat Garcia, and Adamari Lopez, which makes perfect sense to us.

Galilea and Monserrat are coming off of a huge year. As we reported earlier, their Pequeños Gigantes series scored some bombastic ratings this season, even beating competitors in the English market.

Montijo proved to be an engaging and lively host, while Garcia wowed the crowd with her many Pequeños talents. At just six years old, Monserrat may hold the record for People’s youngest "Estrella" and she more than deserves the recognition.

Adamari has had an incredible year too. Since her highly publicized split from Luis Fonsi, Lopez has taken her fame to new heights with acclaimed performances in the Vagina Monolgues and Mira Quién Baila.

Congrats to all three cover girls on this latest honor!

Isn't it nice to see ex-spouses getting along? Though there's been plenty of rumors about the bitter divorce between Adamari Lopez and Luis Fonsi, the two seem to still speak highly of each other. In fact, Lopez invited her former hubby to watch her dance on the Spanish reality show, ¡Mira Quién Baila! And though he couldn't make the appearance, Fonsi made sure to wish her the best.

"La verdad es que yo siempre voy a apoyar 100% todo lo que Ada haga," Luis told Don Francisco. "Yo la quiero muchísimo y ella lo sabe. De hecho el primer show lo grabé para verla y luego la llamé y le escribí para felicitarla, para decirle que había estado fabulosa. Estoy muy orgulloso de ella y sin duda para mi ella es la que va a ganar."

Of course, Fonsi wasn't on Francisco's show just to respond to Adamari. He dropped by to promote his new album, Terra Firma, and to discuss his impending fatherhood.

Luis made sure to heap plenty of praise on his current steady (and baby mama), Agueda Lopez. And though the parents-to-be will be missing out on ¡Mira Quién Baila!, they may still have a shot at the Pequeños Gigantes reality show (once little Fonsi comes of age).

One of the biggest questions that arose after Luis Fonsi announced his girlfriend's pregnancy was not the gender or the due date, but rather how Adamari Lopez would react! And now, it appears as though his famous ex-wife has piped up via Twitter, albeit with a very vague post.

"Callar es de sabios… Amar es de humanos… llorar es de valientes… y perdonar es de humildes," she wrote.

As you may recall, Fonsi and Lopez were a beloved celebrity couple for over seven years. They had a star-studded wedding, became the subject of Luis' love songs, and endured Adamari's very public cancer battle together. So with last November's divorce, and now the added baby news, it must be a pretty difficult time for Lopez.

Previously, Adamari had said that she will always hold a place in her heart for Fonsi. But we get the feeling that she may not have the same lovey dovey feelings for his baby mama Agueda Lopez. Seeing how Luis and Agueda only went public in April, this "announcement" has certainly put them on the infant fast track.

Adamari reportedly has a new boyfriend that's been keeping her very busy too. Who knows? Perhaps in the next few months, she may have some breaking baby news of her own.

Within his 30-year career, it’s clear Draco Rosa’s music has touched millions. And now several famous fans are tweeting messages of love for the Puerto Rican rocker as he prepares to battle the cancerous tumor discovered near his abdomen.

Celebs like Roselyn Sanchez, Daddy Yankee, Carlos Ponce, and more have started a massive chain of online well wishes. And even though Draco is currently confined to a bed in a Houston hospital, we’re sure he’s aware of the ongoing support.

Ricky Martin, a former Menudo bandmate and Draco collaborator for over 25 years, posted,

"Usted es un guerrero hermano!

Adamari López, who herself is a cancer survivor, sent out blessings as well,

“Ten fe, mucha fortaleza, luz, bendiciones... Estás en mis oraciones".

"Mis mejores energías para mi amigo Draco. Sé que te vas a mejorar hermano," came from Calle 13’s Twitter account.

And El Big Boss made sure all of his fans were aware of his love for Draco,

“Fortaleza mental, espiritual y el corazón optimista. Adelante varón que para Dios no hay nada imposible!!!".

Other celebrities who posted shout outs include Tego Calderón and Tommy Torres. And that’s not even including the everyday tweeters who have been sending an onslaught of virtual “get wells”. We’re certain that this massive outpouring of love will help keep Draco upbeat during this very difficult time.

Proving his ex-wife isn’t the only one who has moved on from their relationship, Puerto Rican rocker Luis Fonsi has now “officially” debuted his new girlfriend, Spanish model Agueda López. Stepping out on the beach in Miami, the two lovebirds were definitely not afraid to show off some PDA for the paparazzi.

The timing of the relationship does seem interesting. Just last week, Fonsi’s former wife Adamari López confirmed her status with Colombian writer Andrés López López (which if you count Agueda, makes for quite a bit of Lópezes!). Could this be a retaliation tactic to make his ex jealous?

We think not. Despite the cozy photographs, Luis has still not “officially” called Agueda his girlfriend. But we doubt it will take long for Fonsi to fall hard. 28-year-old Agueda is stunning and a former contender for the title of Miss Spain.

Hopefully Adamari won’t take the news of her ex’s new lady friend too hard. But, then again if she does, she can always vent out her emotions on stage at the next Vagina Monologues.

Never judge art by its title. Though The Vagina Monologues may sound like a naughty late night movie, it’s actually a critically-acclaimed play about female empowerment. And now the 15-year-old production has attracted novela star Adamari López for a starring role.

Set to take place at Miami’s Trail Theatre, the new three-day run of the show in Spanish will feature Adamari as well as Latina actresses Charytín Goico and Sonya Smith. López, who grew up performing plays in her native Puerto Rico, was attracted to the project by producers Manuel Mendoza and Raul Gonzalez.

Mendoza and Gonzalez are no strangers to the Monologues. Back in January, they staged another Latina-heavy version of the play featuring Roselyn Sanchez and Lili Estefan. Originally conceived by writer Eve Ensler, Monologues focuses on one-woman stories relating to love, birth, and domestic violence.

Obviously from the title you can tell that this play isn’t for children. But its bold honesty has drawn rave reviews and attracted top female talent from across the Hollywood spectrum. Actresses like Meryl Streep, Michelle Rodriguez, and Kate Winslet have all participated in performances.

Mendoza and Gonzalez’ version puts a special emphasis on the Latina culture and proved to be quite a hit when it ran in Miami earlier this year. And seeing all of the drama that Adamari has been through recently, we’re sure she can identify with some of play’s heavier subject matter.

Four months after  finalizing her highly-publicized divorce from Luis Fonsi, Adamari López has admitted that she’s seeing a new man. Though we’re not sure how we feel about the new romance, we do think it would be interesting for her to walk down the aisle with current beau, Andrés López López-a former drug trafficker-turned-writer.  Just think about it... if she did marry Andrés, she would be Adamari López López López!

"Verdad... ¡qué rico!" Adamari recently said when asked about her romance with the Colombian writer.

For many fans of the actress, the announcement is actually bittersweet. Ada and Luis were considered to be one of Latin America’s hottest couples. Married in June 2006, they always looked gorgeous on the red carpets and stood by each other when Adamari went through her public cancer battle.

Many longed for a possible reconciliation after they announced their divorce last November, especially after Ada alluded to it in an interview with Agencia Mexico.

"We’ll see what happens. Anything is possible in this life. You never know where life is taking you."

According to the gossip blogs, not long after that statement, life took her into the arms of Peruvian heartthrob Christian Meier. Earlier this year, they were “rumored” to be an item, though neither one confirmed it.

Now it appears that Ada is happily committed to Andrés. But until we see him "put a ring on it," fans can still hold out hope for Luis.

Luis Fonsi and Adamari Lopez were, at one point, the "First Couple" of Puerto Rico. From their romantic courtship, to their public and heartbreaking struggle with Lopez's breast cancer diagnosis—it seemed like they couldn't do anything wrong.

Then, Fonsi got caught with his pants down while he was on tour in South America and it all came crashing down.

But, it seems like the exes have chosen to take the high road. Though there was photographic evidence of Fonsi looking super chummy with not one, but two other women while he was still very much married, Lopez has nothing but positive things to say about her now ex-hubby, teaching a ton of celebs out there that it is possible to break up and retain a semblance of dignity.

At least Fonsi returns the love. While addressing reporters who gathered outside of the Miami area courthouse where he signed the official divorce papers , the 32-year-old said:

"I feel good, calm and ready to move ahead with God. Adamari will always be a part of my life and I'll be there for her whenever she needs me and will never turn my back. I'm ready to start a new life, this is a day of many emotions, but I'm ready to move forward."

Hasn't he? Back in August, Blogamole broke the news about Fonsi's new relationship with 2006 Miss Universe Zuleyka Rivera, while Adamari was caught canoodling with Colombian novela writer Andres Lopez Lopez.

Could Fonsi have been dumped already? Line up ladies!
