There's no doubt about it: Jennifer Lopez slayed at the 2020 Super Bowl when she performed
with Shakira during the halftime show.
But as you may have noticed, the Bronx native was nearly upstaged by one of her remarkable
kids.
And obviously, that's no small feat.
Lopez is a multi-hyphenate sensation in music, television, film, and business, but she's
also a mom to twins Maximilian David and Emme Muñiz.
She welcomed them into the world on February 22nd, 2008, alongside her then-husband, Marc
Anthony.
And Lopez clearly loves motherhood.
In February 2019, she told People:
"Your heart is connected to them.
It feels like there's a string from my chest to theirs."
Although Lopez tends to be private about her kids, she has treated her fans to a few tidbits
over the years.
And of course, the world got a taste of Emme's ambitions and formidable singing voice on
Super Bowl Sunday, when she performed a medley of "Let's Get Loud" and Bruce Springsteen's
"Born in the USA."
Suffice to say it's not a performance we'll be forgetting anytime soon.
Clearly, talent runs in the family, as you can see in this September 2019 Instagram video,
which finds Lopez's twins both showing off their musical chops.
In case you're wondering, they're performing a cover of Vance Joy's "Riptide."
Max takes on the vocals while Emme plays the guitar.
Meanwhile, Lopez captioned the vid:
"My heart can't take it…"
Same.
So could Lopez be looking to add more kids to her brood now that she's engaged to former
baseball star Alex Rodriguez?
As you probably know, A-Rod already has two kids, Natasha and Ella, but J.Lo seems to
believe the more the merrier.
As she told People in December 2019:
"I want to [have kids with Rodriguez.]
I don't know that it's in God's plan, but I would like to try.
I'm so open to it."
As for how Emme and Max might feel about that, Lopez told Extra in September 2019,
"I think they would love to have a brother or sister.
They love having Natasha and Ella in their lives and having two extra bonus sisters.
We really form a beautiful blended family and I think they would all be thrilled."
In the meantime, Lopez can focus on cultivating her kids' impressive talents.
After all, Emme totally blew the audience away at the Super Bowl halftime show, and
even managed to impress the Twitterverse.
One excited viewer tweeted:
"JLO's daughter Emme has a gorgeous voice.
Her dad is Marc Anthony, her mom is Jennifer Lopez - she was destined to be talented!!!"
Another fan gushed,
"Baby Emme [is] absolutely killing it."
And her performance certainly didn't go unnoticed by Marc Anthony, who wrote on Instagram:
"Emme Daddy is so proud of you.
You are my heart and I am forever yours."
And just in case you were wondering, the Super Bowl wasn't Emme's first performance with
her mom.
"When I was little, I used to be really shy singing in front of people.
But not anymore."
In 2019, the aspiring young singer took the stage during Lopez's "It's My Party" tour,
an experience she chatted about during a behind-the-scenes video that you can find on her mom's YouTube
channel.
As she explains,
"I like being up on the stage, and the dancers are all behind me.
Every show, I look in a different direction to see who's behind me.
My favorite person to see is my mom."
It looks like Emme and Max are both bound for greatness, but is Lopez worried that they're
entering the public eye at such a young, impressionable age?
Actually, she addressed those concerns head-on during an appearance on Lorraine in 2019:
"They see me manage [fame] in a normal way.
[...] It's a very normal life we have for an entertainment family.
[...] ]They still have, you know, routines and boundaries and rules and everything else
that every other kid has - but most importantly, [they have] love."
"I make them feel so important when we're in public and whenever we're around other
people, they know they always come first, so it's never been like a weird thing for
them."]
Meanwhile, Lopez makes it abundantly clear that Emme and Max have helped her get her
priorities in order - and in a very big way.
As she puts it,
"Once [my kids] were born, they helped me get more of a balance in my life … of managing
my time."
We can't wait to see what the future has in store for Emme and Max!
