The untitled series is currently in production and will follow Lopez' various professional endeavors, including the launch of her new fragrance. In addition, the series will also focus on the new mother of twins and her husband Marc Anthony as they tackle the responsibilities of parenthood.
"Jennifer is unbelievably passionate about life and will be an incredible role model for our audience," TLC president Angela Shapiro-Mathes. "I'm thrilled to be partnering with her on a series that will take our audience into a fascinating world. It's a fun, emotional journey that will be inspirational and yet very relatable to today's women."
The series is co-created and co-executive produced by Lopez, with Simon Fields and Gay Rosenthal also serving as executive producers.

Although it will the first one to focus on her, the new TLC series doesn't represent Lopez' first foray into reality television.
MTV ordered Moves -- a reality series that would follow the lives of six dancers working to make it in the dancing business -- in May 2006, and it was executive produced by Lopez.
The show subsequently premiered in January 2007 under the new title DanceLife, and Lopez made several cameo appearances during its eight-episode run.
In addition, Lopez served as a musical mentor during American Idol's Spring 2007 sixth season.
