Now that Jlo (Jennifer Lopez) has changed her name to Jennifer Affleck (it’s been leaked, classy move they don’t do that much in Hollywood), what do you think she should re-brand her “Jlo” name into?

vote YABU unreasonable for the similar to Jlo “JFleck” and YANBU for the “Mrs Affleck” moniker which could be a change of pace as she ages.

Also could this be a good career move for newly married celebs as a more natural way of te-branding After marriage to give some publicity and a new boost for sales with a new family image?

What’s a classy move? Changing your name on marriage? Confused

TinaTubster · 19/07/2022 07:04

@stuntbubbles It just feels more old Hollywood than these days where everyone is know by one name (Beyoncé, Cardi B etc) or had a made up name and all that jazz.

Anyway what do you think she should re-brand as?

Perhaps she will now become known as Jennifer Affleck but will continue to use “JLo” as a nod to Lopez.

Covetthee · 19/07/2022 07:06

I don’t think she would ever change her stage name. Her whole branding is JLO.

also bit of a waste imo to go through all that paperwork when they will undoubtedly divorce in a couple of years.

He’s an arse. Can’t believe she’s married him.

dudsville · 19/07/2022 07:13

Is it not a different Jennifer he's married???

Ontomatopea · 19/07/2022 07:14

JAffleck

Nope

GoldenSpiral · 19/07/2022 07:14

I mean, I don't think she is going to change her name as an artist. Surely Jennifer Affleck is a name she wants to use for personal rather than professional use?!

Catlover77 · 19/07/2022 07:15

Why would she re brand? Getting married shouldn’t change your personality, or your name

stuntbubbles · 19/07/2022 07:16

everyone is know by one name (Beyoncé, Cardi B etc)
Even in your examples you’ve got someone who clearly isn’t known by one name!

Well she has changed her name. So there we go. Her choice.

DashboardConfessional · 19/07/2022 07:17

She was Jennifer Muniz when she married Marc Antony, not that you'd know it. Not sure what she did the other 2 times she was married.

@TinaTubster

'Classy move'

What decade do you think we're in?

Terrible example to young women

Isaidnoalready · 19/07/2022 07:19

Wait what? She married him?

TinaTubster · 19/07/2022 07:20

@Covetthee

Hey 4th times a charm right? Lol you may be right. But on the rebranding - she’s gone from Jennifer Lopez to “Jenny from the block” to Jlo. I could see her rebrand as she ages.
Dont get me wrong she looks amazing but no one is going to look good In a bikini shaking it forever. This could be a chance for her to rebrand and go into a more sustainable image as she ages into her 60’s and beyond.

Oh! I googled yesterday and saw the Jlo wedding but then also another Jennifer who he also married so presumed it was her. I need to up my game re celeb news.

vroom321 · 19/07/2022 07:22

I thought he was already married (to another Jennifer)

TinaTubster · 19/07/2022 07:23

@CatchingSocks

I changed my name, the vast majority do. I don’t think she’s a terrible example at all. She’s independently very successful (not that those who aren’t are a bad example) and has a career into her 50’s. Now she’s changed her name - a lot of people find that relatable.

He was married to Jennifer Garner for a while (the actress in 13 Going on 30… and other things that will come to me). Some horrendous news articles a while ago about how they split because of his drinking and the tabloids painting it as her fault for driving him to drink. I don’t know anything more of it, I just remember a friend ranting about how the tabloids had spun it.

stuntbubbles · 19/07/2022 07:26

@vroom321 They separated in 2015 and divorced four years ago after he shagged the nanny. Known in the trade as “did a Jude Law”.

Rosecoffeecup · 19/07/2022 07:27

Jenny from the Block was a song that came after the album titled J.Lo. Not a rebranding?!

I mainly remember her from Alias. And yep, they've been divorced for about 5 years and the media coverage got quite ugly!

vroom321 · 19/07/2022 07:29

Oh I didn't realise they had split. I like to Google celebrities often but these two don't interest me lol
