Jennifer Lopez Discusses Her Unlikely Friend And Neighbor, Chelsea Clinton

Jennifer Lopez has long been a vocal supporter of Hillary Clinton. She joined Hillary on the campaign trail in Miami, and along with her ex-husband Marc Anthony performed at the Get Out The Vote, a free concert in Miami held in support of Hillary’s campaign. On Clinton, Jennifer has said in an interview with 2day FM, “Our country deserves a great leader, not someone who dabbles in politics. I want someone who knows what they’re doing. We deserve that, and she has tremendous experience and tremendous heart, and it takes a lot to be in the public eye, I know that.”

When Clinton conceded the election, Lopez quoted her on her Instagram account and posted a  picture with the caption: “know who you are and what you stand for.” Since Jennifer is such an ardent Clinton supporter, surely she was thrilled with the fact that Hillary’s daughter, Chelsea Clinton, is her neighbor in the Flatiron district in Manhattan. Lopez moved there after her divorce from fellow singer Marc Anthony in 2014. She lives there with her twin children, Emma and Max, who are eight years old. Since JLo and Chelsea are neighbors, she has said that her kids have played with Chelsea’s children. Chelsea is the mother of 2-year-old Charlotte and 4-month-old Aidan.

Lopez has also said that: “As women, we get bullied, we have to work just a tiny bit harder, we have to show we’re more qualified and I am with her,” on Chelsea’s mother’s big for the presidency. JLo’s love and support for Hillary likely paved the way for the unlikely friendship with Chelsea.
