Which the singer said, revealing that she received it unexpectedly while she was in the place where she likes to spend the hours most, in the bathtub.

This time they organized an event with friends and relatives and for the occasion Jennifer showed off different dresses, one more beautiful than the other.

Jennifer Lopez, the reason behind the nickname Jlo: what she said

Jennifer Lopez is one of the most loved artists in the world. You have an immense baggage behind you, from music you have moved on to acting and vice versa. Ever since she got famous, we used to call her by her ‘nickname’ Jlo

. It’s almost become a habit. But why is it called that? There is an explanation and she has given it herself several times.

As told, to invent this name, it was Heavy D, rapper who died in 2011, who was linked to the singer by a great friendship in the late nineties. He explained that the artist, when she was recording the album, often went to the studio: “The name Jlo comes from Heavy D. He used to come to the studio while I was recording my first album ‘On the 6’, and call me Jennifer Lo, Jenny Lo or J.Lo”. Lopez apparently liked the idea so much that she decided to use it for her album.

However, since Jennifer or Jenny was too long to include in the songs, he preferred to choose Jlo. With this nickname, she has continued to this day, always carrying it with her. Now, in fact, everyone has been calling her that for years now, not frequently using her whole name.
