Why did Jennifer Lopez change her name to Jennifer Affleck?

According to reports, Lopez says she changed her legal name to Affleck because it’s more romantic that way. Not because she’s antifeminist or whatever. “People are still going to call me Jennifer Lopez,” she pointed out. “But my legal name will be Mrs Affleck because we’re joined together. We’re husband and wife. I’m proud of that. I don’t think that’s a problem.” She was surprised to learn that The New York Times had published an op-ed about the politics of her taking Affleck’s last name in such trying feminist times.
