Lopez, who shares the twins with her former husband Marc Anthony, reflected on their birth during a snowstorm in New York City. “It was as if God was making sure you would enter a world full of pure magic!!” she wrote. “In my heart, I knew that’s how your life would always be!!”

Recalling their infancy, she added, “When I would hold you as infants, I honestly felt as if I were holding two angels sent straight from heaven above. My life was changed forever.”

Referring to her children as her “coconuts”, Lopez wrote, “‘I love you’ could never encapsulate the depth of feeling, affection, and care that I have for you, my coconuts. It has always been the three of us!! We have been on this journey together.”

She continued, “We have always had each other to hold on to and be that steady presence in the middle of any snowstorm. And I promise you, my beautiful coconuts, no matter how big you get, that’s how it will always be.”
