In addition to being a singer and actress, Jen is the mother of two teenagers. She and her ex-husband, Marc Anthony, welcomed their twins, Max and Emme, in 2008 after marrying in 2004. They divorced in 2014, and Jennifer ultimately rekindled her romance with Ben in 2021. Bennifer said "I do" in 2022. Today, Max and Emme are 16, and they are still clearly the apples of Jen's eye.
Jennifer Lopez shared photos of her twins, Max and Emme, amid ongoing divorce reports.
On July 28, J.Lo took to Instagram with a short but sweet update. "My whole heart ," she declared in the caption. The featured image showed the "Let's Get Loud" singer smiling at Max as he posed with his arm over his mom's shoulder. Jennifer wore a green and white patterned dress, while her teenage son donned an all-white outfit.
In the second snap, J.Lo and Emme smiled together.
Meanwhile, the second segment of Jennifer's Instagram carousel featured her child, Emme. Jennifer smiled while wearing a white top and sunglasses and her hair pulled back into a messy bun. In the shot, Emme also smiled while donning a green checkered button-down shirt and headphones resting around her neck.
The third picture featured a throwback shot of Max and Emme as young children.
To contrast how much her kids have grown and matured, Jen included a final throwback photo. The image showed Max and Emme as young children, perhaps when they were around 3 or 4 years old. In the shot, they sat together on a couch with their heads almost touching, seemingly looking at a book or a screen.

Meanwhile, yet another fan shared, "They are so big now. Dios lo bendiga ."
Meanwhile, rumors about Jennifer and Ben Affleck's impending divorce rage on.
Since May, rumors that Ben and Jen were heading for divorce have dominated headlines. In addition to their extremely limited public appearances together, Bennifer listed their $60 million Beverly Hills mansion for sale in July after Ben reportedly moved out in June. The couple have also spent time apart during key moments, like their second anniversary and J.Lo's 55th birthday.
As of writing, neither Ben nor Jen has publicly addressed the divorce reports.
