Jennifer Lopez Reveals Where She Keeps That Daring Versace Dress From the 2000 Grammys

 

J.Lo at 2000 Grammys.It’s been 13 years since Jennifer Lopez made jaws drop when she stepped onto the red carpet at the 2000 Grammys in that low-cut Versace gown with the up-to-there slit – and yet it’s still unforgettable. But the piece of pop culture history is not on display in a museum somewhere. "I have that at home," she reveals in the February issue of Harper’s Bazaar.

And that comes in handy with her boyfriend of a year, Casper Smart, who is 18 years younger than the star. “He's fantastic; he's like my best friend,” Lopez gushes of her 25-year-old boyfriend, who is playing with her 4-year-old twins, Max and Emme, during the interview. “I can tell him everything, when I'm feeling down, when I'm feeling good. He gives moral support, endless love, and support."

But he’s not the only one. As Lopez has been traveling the globe on her world tour, she has been joined by her mother Guadalupe, a former teacher who has been tutoring her children on the road. And she certainly can use all the help she can get. Max and Emme “are open, happy, curious, smart, loving, affectionate,” she proudly tells the magazine. “They're" and then she stops short as her daughter tumbles over the couch  "rambunctious."
