Jennifer Lopez marks twins Emme and Max’s 18th birthday with heartfelt tribute

Jennifer Lopez has shared a personal tribute to her twins, Emme and Max, as they celebrated their 18th birthday.

The singer and actress posted an emotional video montage on Instagram on Sunday, featuring moments from their childhood set to One Direction’s “18”. The footage included Emme’s surprise appearance during Lopez’s Super Bowl LIV halftime show with Shakira in 2020, as well as family scenes from earlier years.

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.”
