Jennifer Lopez and her ex, Marc Anthony, have worked hard to shield their twins from the
spotlight, but as the kids grow up, they're starting to gain more attention.
J.Lo's daughter has clearly shown an interest in following in her parents' musical footsteps.
Here are some things you may not know about Emme.
According to her parents, Emme was born to sing.
Speaking with Entertainment Tonight in May 2019, Lopez recalled just how young her daughter
was when she first caught the singing bug.
"Emme always could sing.
I remember when she was in the crib, when she was a baby, she used to be humming, like,
really humming to herself."
J.Lo said Emme's dad wasn't surprised one bit.
"And Marc would say, 'She's singing' and he was right…"
As for who Emme sounds like now that she's able to belt out full songs?
"She's got her daddy's voice."
Lopez's entrepreneurial spirit seems to be rubbing off on her daughter who, at just 10
years old, had her very first set of business meetings.
As it turns out, Emme not only loves music but also storytelling — so much so that
she penned her own children's book, called Lord Help Me!, and in June 2018, she met with
publishers to pitch her idea.
"Me and Emme are off to our first book publishers meeting for an idea Emme had for a book."
Making the whole thing even more impressive was the fact that Emme got a renowned Spanish
children's book illustrator to dream up the accompanying images.
Singing in front of a sold-out arena filled with 20,000 screaming fans could be intimidating
for even the most seasoned star, but when you're Emme, you carry yourself like a pro.
She performed a duet with her mom to help kick off J.Lo's "It's My Party" tour in Los
Angeles in June 2019.
The seeds for the idea were planted in May 2019, when Lopez shared a video of her daughter
belting out an impressive rendition of Alicia Keys' "If I Ain't Got You."
"We should have her come out and do something on tour.
Want to put a little piece in this show?
We'll see; We'll check it out."
The 11-year-old later joined her mom onstage to perform the song "Limitless" together,
and she crushed it.
But Emme's stage presence should have come as no surprise.
As her proud mama told Entertainment Tonight,
"[Emme] has it in her blood.
She has the lion heart."
Lopez and her man, former baseball great Alex Rodriquez, have nailed the concept of a blended
family.
J.Lo and Marc Anthony's twins reportedly spend plenty of time with A-Rod's daughters.
Lopez told People that all four children are the best of friends.
"I was so loving to [Rodriguez's] kids and he was so loving and accepting of mine, and
they embraced each other right away."
As a result, Emme now has two loving father figures in her life.
She's a regular on A-Rod's Instagram feed, and when she had a dance recital, both Rodriguez
and Anthony were in attendance.
The two men get along so well, in fact, that Rodriguez was spotted sitting between Lopez
and Anthony during a music recital at Emme's twin brother Max's school.
Proving just how important both men are in the kids' lives, Lopez celebrated Father's
Day 2019 by paying tribute to her ex on Instagram.
She wrote, in part,
"Emme and Max love you soooo much!!
Thank you for these two beautiful coconuts!!!"
It's clear that Emme has a penchant for singing, so Lopez is already preparing her for the
harsh realities of showbiz, telling Entertainment Tonight that she's prepared to give her daughter
as much advice as she can.
The A-list lifestyle includes plenty of challenges.
"In this age of social media, where people can be so brutal and mean at times, I don't
want her to put herself any more out there than she is."
This mama's approach seems to be working.
Not only was Emme brave enough to slay her live performance, but she also pushed her
way into a starring role in her mom's Limitless music video.
JLo told Entertainment Tonight that she was originally hesitant to let her daughter play
the part — but Emme fought for it.
"'Please mom, don't pick another little girl.
Pick me.
I can do it, I can do it’."
