Benjamin Reza Affleck and Jennifer Lynn Lopez signed their marriage in a chapel in Clark, Nevada, as reported last weekend. However, the name of the famous could be affected, given the American tradition in which women adopt the last name of her husband.
In the United States, it is an active tradition to change one’s surname to that of one’s husband.. In the last decade, only 30% of the women who gave the “yes, I accept”, chose to keep their last name. The remaining 70% obtained the surname of her husband, a rather controversial tradition, unfounded and that contravenes in many terms the family identity of women, although this is repeated in the Anglo-Saxon world on a recurring basis.
In the case of the interpreter of “Let’s get loud” he has mentioned that she would adopt his last name, as he announced in an interview made for People in 2003.
“Am I going to change (my name) professionally? I think I’m going to keep Jennifer Lopez, but my name will be Jennifer Affleck, obviously,” the actress said.
Although for commercial and branding purposes she also uses the nickname “JLo”, which has become a reference in the entertainment and beauty industry.
I think I’m going to keep Jennifer Lopez, but my name will be Jennifer Affleck, obviously.
Although we might also expect her name to be made up of her current husband’s last name, as in the case of Jada Pinkett Smith, that will be known until “Jenny from the block” appears in the credits of a movie.
