Biography
Angie Lopez (née Palmero) was born in Miami, Florida on May 11, 1965 to Cuban immigrant parents Victor Palmero and Emilina Palmero, but raised in Los Angeles, California. She is married to her high school sweetheart George Lopez and together, they have two children Carmen Lopez and Max Lopez.
Angie never went to college, but she is always adamant about her children going.
When she first married George, Angie's father, Vic, set up a $20,000 bank account for her in case that she ever needed to leave her husband. She once withdrew the money early in the marriage after planning to leave with their two kids, Carmen and Max, after he told her that George's mother, who Angie disliked, was coming to live with them, but redeposited the money the next day and eventually told George about the account.
Angie is a wedding planner. Prior to this job, she worked as a make-up distributor for a company called La Marie. She is kind and is often shown doing selfless deeds and helping others. Angie is more strict than George when it comes to disciplining the kids and she insists that Max go to college even though he doesn't want to. She also tries to chastise those with whom she disagrees. She often playfully hits George when he says something he shouldn't and says he loses every fight between them. She has a sister name Gloria Palmero and a brother Ray Palmero, with whom she does not trust nor like. She is a polite and confident middle-aged mom with a sensual side and is very dedicated to her husband.
As the series progressed, her attitude towards George's mistakes becomes even more aggressive and annoying to a point of both of them having competitions over who does the most work. Angie and George has probably had sex once or twice before they were married. In The Valentine's Day Massacre, George said that the first time they made love, "what are the odds in Vegas?" Not many clues were given after this episode.
Angie also happens to be powerful for a woman, as seen when she beats up a teenager in the episode Sk8r Boyz, after he touches her butt and says, "I've never done purple with an older chick," referring to Angie's colored bracelets, in which she was unaware of the true sexual acts they represented. It was said she knocked out a couple of his teeth, his retainer and also made him cry.
When her and George were first married and she was pregnant with Carmen, they lived with George's mom Benny Lopez and after a fight with Benny, George realized that was enough and they moved out. After 16 years, George found out the truth about the fight between Angie and Benny and that they set it up so George and Angie could move out.
