A Heartfelt Conversation with Her Twins
Jennifer Lopez, 55, has shared the emotional journey she faced during her divorce from Ben Affleck, particularly how she handled it with her 17-year-old twins, Emme and Max. In a candid interview with Spanish newspaper El País, she revealed that during last year’s challenging times, she made a point to speak openly with her children.
Lopez explained, "I told them, 'I promise you, this is a tough time, but you’ll see that I’ll come out stronger and better on the other side.' I made that promise, and I did it. Now, they feel it, and that brings me peace."
From Heartbreak to Happiness
It’s been a transformative year for the singer. After finalizing her divorce in February 2024, just months after splitting in August 2023, Lopez found strength in the bonds she maintained with her kids. Despite canceling her tour amidst personal turmoil, she expressed a renewed sense of joy and pride in how far she’s come.
"I’m happier and more evolved than I was even just a year ago. I’m proud of how I’ve helped my children navigate these ups and downs. They are stronger because of it – and so am I," Lopez stated, emphasizing that now feels like the perfect time to celebrate and share her music.
Co-Parenting with Care
Even though Lopez and Affleck are no longer together, they have maintained close ties, especially when it comes to family. In April, Lopez's twins joined Affleck and his children, Samuel, Seraphina, and Violet, for the premiere of his new movie, "The Accountant 2."
Affleck expressed his excitement during the event, saying, "It’s a great night. The kids are here, and it makes everything more special." He also took a moment to praise Lopez, calling her an "enormously important" person in their lives, further showcasing their commitment to a positive co-parenting dynamic.
Support for the Arts
In a separate outing, Lopez and her daughter Emme dazzled onlookers at the premiere of George Clooney's Broadway play, "Good Night, and Good Luck." The mother-daughter duo sported matching black tie ensembles, radiating style and grace.
As she gears up for her upcoming world tour, it’s clear that Jennifer Lopez is not just a resilient artist but also a dedicated mother, ready to embrace a new chapter in her life.
