Actress-singer Jennifer Lopez has expressed that she feels “really good” about her children heading off to college.
The 56-year-old star, who shares 17-year-old twins Max and Emme with ex-husband Marc Anthony, is proud to watch her kids “thriving” as they step into adulthood. She believes they are “so ready” to carve their own paths in life.
When asked about the twins transitioning to college, Jennifer told Entertainment Tonight, “I feel really good about it. I’m like, can’t believe that we’ve gotten here, you know, just the three of us. It’s been a journey for all three of us through this life because I was a single mom since they were three years old. People have come in and out of my life, but it really has just been the three of us.”
She added, “And to see how they’re kind of thriving right now and the adults, like young adults that they’re growing into, and they’re so ready for their life. They’re so ready to get out there and I remember what that felt like at 18.”
Jennifer is “so excited” to witness the next chapter for Max and Emme. She reassured them that they will always have a “solid” home with her, no matter what happens. “I’m so excited for that because I know that they have this like, home for them to come home to that is solid and will be solid for them for the rest of their life,” she emphasized. “And they know that, even more importantly. So they have that love and they can go out and do whatever they want.”
Recently, Jennifer shared that she strives to keep her home life separate from her professional career. In an interview with E! News, she said, “It’s funny, my kids are not very involved with Mom’s work. They’re like, ‘work, come home, be home for dinner.’ That’s more what they’re concerned about. ‘Mom, are you going to be here in the weekend? Can we do this? Can we do that?’ You know, it’s a different life. It’s separate.”
However, the twins have attended her Up All Night Live residency in Las Vegas, and Jennifer revealed that they are “fans” of her music.
