Jennifer Lopez has taken on numerous roles in the entertainment industry: she is an actress, singer, dancer, producer, fashion designer, and perfumer, but none of these roles mean more to her than that of a mother. The Bronx native is the mother of twins Max and Emme from her former husband Marc Anthony. Now that her children are preparing for college, fans are learning more about them, including that Emme is now called «Oscar», - which was revealed in an Instagram post announcing their intention to study theater at Sarah Lawrence College.

Jennifer married Marc just a few months after her breakup with Ben Affleck in June 2004 (they divorced in 2014). They had previously been in a romantic relationship and collaborated on the Spanish-language duet «No Me Ames» on her debut album On The 6 in 1999. Three years later, after a secret wedding, the star of «Maid in Manhattan» announced her pregnancy on November 8, 2007.
At that time, 38-year-old Jennifer made the announcement during a joint tour, El Cantante, with Marc in Miami after weeks of speculation. «Marc and I are expecting a baby!» she said, as Marc held her belly. «We are happy… This is a special time in our lives. And we waited until the last show to tell you», - she added.
Just a few weeks before the birth, Jennifer’s father, David Lopez, confirmed that his middle daughter was expecting not one, but two children. «Yes, twins… The thing is, in my family, my sister also had twins, so it’s hereditary», - he said on the Spanish-language show Escéndalo TV. «I am very proud. Jennifer has dreamed of being a mother for many years».
The singer of «This Is Me… Then» gave birth to Max and Emme on February 22, 2008, on Long Island, New York. The world waited just four short weeks to see the first twins, who appeared on the cover of PEOPLE magazine in March 2008 in an exclusive issue.
Years later, Jennifer recalled how she learned about her pregnancy with twins in a YouTube video titled Twin Talk with then-11-year-old Max and Emme. «When I realized I was pregnant, I was in Portugal. I was preparing for a big show and had just left for two days. When I was sitting in the hair and makeup trailer, this is what I felt», - she told them. «I felt a flutter in my belly. I felt like a butterfly was fluttering in my stomach, and I immediately knew that there was life inside me. I knew it. It came to my mind».
It was in the doctor’s office that she received the news. «The doctor says, 'Do you see this? This little grain of rice? This is a baby. And this other little grain of rice? This is another baby,'» she explained. «I was in shock. I started laughing hysterically. I just laughed out loud; I couldn’t believe it. And that’s how I found out I was having twins».
«Little coconuts» (as Jennifer calls them) grew up in the public eye, often photographed with their star mom and her various romantic partners, including former boyfriend Casper Smart, with whom she dated from 2011 to 2016, former fiancé Alex Rodriguez, with whom she was from 2017 to 2021, and rekindled romance with Ben Affleck, with whom she reunited in 2021.
It is worth noting that Max and Emme were very close to Alex’s daughters—Natasha, 16, and Ella, 13—who were often photographed with them in the media and on their moms' social media pages. In 2021, they spent a lot of time with Ben’s children—Violet, 16, Seraphina, 13, and Samuel, 9, whom he raises with his ex-wife Jennifer Garner, 49. And now that the star couple has married and is preparing for a big celebration on the weekend of August 19, 2022, they will undoubtedly be spending even more time together.
As a result of the rekindled romance of Bennifer, Max and Emme have been spending more time in Los Angeles than in Miami, where their father Marc lives, and Alex also has a residence (their mom also owns a $ 32 million home)
