🔴Jennifer Lopez Shares a Sweet Video of Her Twins on Their 17th Birthday

Set to Miley Cyrus’s “Edge of Midnight” featuring Stevie Nicks (Midnight Sky Remix), Jennifer Lopez lovingly took to Instagram to post a happy birthday message to her twins. The clip she posted showcased the pair’s growth and special moments throughout the years.

One image showed her twin daughter and son, Emme and Max Muñiz, as babies cradled in her arms.

Fans also saw touching moments like the twins with their mother and kissing her backstage at what appeared to be a concert.

The images continued with scenes of the children helping to cook, swinging on a swing with their mother, huddling together, Max sleeping, Emme singing with Jennifer at a concert, and more.

The loving bond the trio shared was evident in the footage, showing the duo’s growth into teenagers.

Jennifer simply captioned the post, “Seventeen. I love you beyond forever 🥥🥥.”

Seeing these rare family images, netizens quickly shared their thoughts, with one person mentioning the children’s father, Jennifer’s ex-husband, Marc Anthony.

The commenter wrote, “Her kids are 0% jlo 100% marc anthony. [sic],” while a Facebook user marveled, “Wow!They [sic] look like their daddy.” Another person agreed, saying, “They look exactly like their father.”

Seeing the same thing, someone else emphasized, “They totally look like their father!” However, one fan likened the twins to more than Marc, writing, “Wow they are a beautiful combination of their mum and dad!”

Focusing on the singer’s parenting, another user commented, “She appears to be a good mother. Her children are beautiful!” Meanwhile, one netizen described the post as “So sweet.”

Admiring the pair, someone said, “Looks like pretty happy kiddos,” while another individual focused on Max, noting, “The boy is cute.”

During a December 2024 interview about her family biopic, “Unstoppable,” Jennifer opened up about being a mother to Emme and Max. She discussed moments of doubt about motherhood, particularly when she had to parent the twins on her own.

She said, “I’ve been a single mom at times in my life, and [I’ve asked,] ‘Am I enough for them?’ And the truth is, all you need is really one good parent to love you. You hear it in Anthony’s voice and look what he’s been able to accomplish. That’s what the movie gave me: You are enough.”

The “Anthony” she referred to is National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) wrestler Anthony Robles, on whom her film is based. Born with one leg, he overcame great challenges and, with his family’s support, inspired others by excelling in the grueling sport.

Later that month, Jennifer and the wrestler’s mother, Judy Robles, whom she portrays in the movie, interviewed each other for British Vogue. During the conversation, the topic of motherhood came up when Judy asked the actress to describe motherhood using three words.

The “Hustlers” star initially reacted in shock before saying it is a blessing, challenging, and beautiful. She elaborated, “You know it’s like a beautiful challenging blessing,” before she and Judy shared a laugh.

As a mother, Jennifer also noted, “I think it’s the hardest job anybody could ever have is to be a parent in this life.” Judy then asked her about the similarities between their lives and characters that influenced her portrayal of the role.

The actress replied, “I think the most important thing when we first talked was that we were both moms. That part of it, I think, was the basis of this role. The relationship between you and Anthony really, for me, informed and became the heart and the soul of the film.”

Jennifer continued, “Being a mom and knowing what it is to want to give the best to your children, and put forward your, you know, your best face for them all the time, but also be struggling as a woman and in relationships and in life and your with your own dreams and your own aspirations, and what that means, and what that feels like.”

Adding, “I think for me was the biggest thing, right?” Judy agreed, revealing that what resonated with her and meant a lot when they first spoke was how much love Jennifer has for her children and how she understood Anthony’s mother’s love for her own.

The star shared that what excited her about playing Judy was hearing Anthony and the other children praise her. They said she is the best mother, always happy, and always made everything fun and joyful.

She contrasted that conversation with the one she had with Judy, who opened up about her struggles, feelings about her marriage, and challenges with her children. Jennifer revealed that she related to these experiences as a mother.

The actress’s twins’ birthday came weeks after her divorce from her latest husband, Ben Affleck. In January 2025, nearly five months after she filed for divorce in August 2024, her divorce from Ben became official.

However, Jennifer kept one significant item: a green diamond ring valued at over $5 million, as noted in their divorce documents. The 8.5-carat radiant-cut gemstone features two half-moon diamonds on either side and is set on a platinum band.

The jewelry includes an engraved message from her ex that reads, “not.going.anywhere.” When they got engaged, she shared in her newsletter that the green diamond held special meaning for her.

She wrote, “Green has always been my lucky color and now, for sure, it always will be.” Despite the gem’s sentimental value, some social media users questioned why she wanted to keep it, while others suggested she should return it.

One person asked, “Why would anyone want something that will be a reminder of their failure? Failure not once but twice!” Sharing a similar sentiment, another questioned, “Why would you want to keep a ring from someone who doesn’t want anything to do with you? Kind of embarrassing.”

Another individual speculated about Ben’s feelings, saying, “He probably doesn’t want it back.” Meanwhile, a commenter labeled the ring as a “Sad consolation prize. Her ego drove that man away,” while another added, “I don’t think she deserves to keep it 🙂‍↔️.”

Others believed the ring rightfully belonged to Ben, with one fan stating, “She broke the commitment – it should be returned to Affleck.” Echoing this, another demanded, “Give it back gold digger. Go buy one of your own! How many do you have now?”

This comment referenced Jennifer’s previous engagements, including the $1.8 million engagement ring from her ex-fiancé Alex Rodriguez. The former couple, who got engaged in March 2019, ended their engagement in early 2021, and Jennifer reportedly kept the ring after their breakup.
