Jennifer Lopez has been calling herself "Mrs. Affleck" since her nuptials to the
Batman
actor this summer, and it's not to everyone's taste.
Some people think that this custom of taking her husband's last name is patriarchal, but not for the interpreter of "Jenny from the Block".
If she is well aware of these criticisms, for her, "it's romantic" to adopt the surname of her husband.
“We are husband and wife, I'm proud of that… It's like moving forward,” she told the pages of
Vogue
.
Romantic and independent
Moreover, the singer and actress is well aware that the public will not call her "Jennifer Affleck" anytime soon and that she will forever be "Jennifer Lopez".
And if she "understands" the critics, she wants to reassure everyone: J-Lo has not become a submissive woman.
"I am in total control of my own life and destiny and I feel more powerful as a woman and as a person," added Jennifer Lopez.
Clearly, you can be both "romantic and traditional" while being independent.
