Jennifer Lopez, an American singer and actress, took up the Nigerian name “Ifunanya.”
In a recent interview, Nigerian media star Drea Okeke proposed the moniker for her, and she agreed.
Ifunanya, which translates to “love” in Igbo, is a name that Okeke explained fits the American diva since she “is a certified lover girl.”
Lopez asked, “What is my [Nigerian] name?”
The host replied, “Because you’re a certified lover girl, this name means love. It is Ifunanya. That’s your name, love.
Lopez reckoned, “Ifunanya! Call me Ifunanya.”
Okeke said for Lopez’s husband, Ben Affleck, his Nigerian name would be “Obim. That means my heart.”
Lopez concoded, “Obim? I like that. I will call all my kids that.”
THE MATRIX recalls that Lopez and Affleck rekindled their love and got married in 2023, 17 years after their first break up.
