Jennifer Lopez was performing at the Dodgers Foundation’s Blue Diamond Gala when she introduced a “special guest.” She noticeably used gender neutral pronouns like “they” and “them” to introduce the guest singer.
Lopez described the singer as “my favorite duet partner of all time.” Lopez added, “The last time we performed together was in a big stadium like this. I ask them to sing with me all the time but they won’t, so this is a very special occasion, because they’re very, very busy and booked and pricey.”
The guest singer was Lopez’s child, Emme, who she shares with father Marc Anthony. Fans definitely took notice that Lopez used gender neutral pronouns when talking about her child, and they are praising her for it.
