On Saturday, Jennifer Lopez shared a heart warming Reel on her Instagram timeline that offered a window into special moments in the lives of her twins, Max and Emme, in celebration of their shared 17th birthday. The montage of clips showed the two siblings from their infancy, childhood, into becoming teenagers on the cusp of adulthood.
The video also offered a look into Lopez’s every day life with her kids, who the star shares with her ex-husband, Marc Anthony, showing them hanging with her backstage and offering her a kiss or posing in what looks like a photoshoot with their famous mom.
J.Lo also shared moments with the kids at home, where they’re simply relaxing together and watching something on an iPad, or enjoying a snack.
She shared selfies with them at various ages, including a stunning portrait taken shortly after they were born.
There was even a photo of Max with the family pet, an orange cat named Hendrix, who they welcomed into the fold in 2021.
Lopez also shared a picture where the twins are standing on either side of her and behind a big blue birthday cake with several tiers, appearing very pleased with the celebration.
In the caption of the post, the actress wrote, “I love you beyond forever 🥥🥥.”
In an interview on Live with Kelly and Mark, Lopez talked about raising teenagers as the twins got older.
“The teenage years are tough,” she shared. “It’s challenging. You have this baby for a while and then it’s like, your best little friend who loves being with you all the time, and then all of a sudden it’s like, ‘Get out of my room.’”
“They are challenging everything you say and everything you do and everything you are, and that’s what it is,” she added. “You have to kind of just ride the waves.”
