Jennifer Lopez has a fitness fanatic doppelganger called Janice Garay, a.k.a. Jay from Houston.
Jenny from the block is being compared to Jay from the block after the bodybuilder lookalike’s photos went viral. Jay from Houston gained attention in 2017 after being featured on Instagram’s Explore page.
“It was just normal selfies I had taken in my restroom, and people were assuming that I was Jennifer Lopez, commenting ‘Are you J-Lo?’ No…I’m Jay from Houston!” she told ABC 30 news.
Her verified account has now amassed over 234,000 followers and Garay said she is flattered by the online comparisons.
“It’s been pretty crazy. I never expected it to go this extreme, but it’s an amazing feeling,” she said. “She is my idol. She’s somebody that I looked up to since I was a little girl. It is flattering.”
The bodybuilder frequently posts pictures at the gym or working out. Her shredded physique and abs give J-Lo a run for her money. She is a figure competitor and has previously competed in The National Physique Committee (NPC).
The woman also shares a defined facial structure and a caramel complexion. And she frequently sports J-Lo’s signature large hoop earrings, loose curls, and trendy activewear.
Originally from Brownsville, Texas, Jay moved to Houston at the age of six. Similar to Lopez, the bodybuilder has a young daughter. They frequently attend the gym and do strength workouts together. Garay wants to be a positive role model and encourages children to exercise and stay healthy.
” Making a healthy lifestyle more of a priority for your family starts with parents leading the way and setting good fitness examples for their kids. As a mother, I think that it is important to talk to your kids about exercising because it’s a habit that you want them to form early,” she said on Instagram.
