In a recent interview with Vogue on November 8, JLo reacted to the criticism. “What? Really?”- she said after hearing the news.

When the interviewer asked if she want Affleck to take her surname ‘Lopez ‘. She said while laughing,” “No! It’s not traditional. It doesn’t have any romance to it. It feels like it’s a power move, you know what I mean? I’m very much in control of my own life and destiny and feel empowered as a woman and as a person.”
Later on, the Hustlers alum said, “I can understand that people have their feelings about it, and that’s okay, too. But if you want to know how I feel about it, I just feel like it’s romantic. It still carries tradition and romance to me, and maybe I’m just that kind of girl.”
