Jennifer Lopez shared a touching tribute to her two children, twins Emme and Max Muniz, on their 18th birthdays.
Lopez, 56, who shares Emme and Max with ex-husband Marc Anthony, took to Instagram on Sunday, February 22, to rejoice the milestone through words and a video stuffed with photos and photographs. “You were born in the course of the night, within the midst of the most important, most beautiful snowstorm NY had seen in years!!” Lopez began. “I remember riding within the automotive and searching out the window, where every thing was twinkling and covered in white that night, as I held you each in my belly for the previous few moments before I gave birth to you.”
The “Waiting For Tonight” singer continued, “It was as if God was ensuring you’ll enter a world filled with pure magic!! In my heart, I knew that’s how your life would all the time be!!”
Lopez then reflected on how her world was endlessly altered when Emme and Max arrived. “After I would hold you as infants, I truthfully felt as if I were holding two angels sent straight from heaven above,” she wrote. “My life was modified endlessly. I cannot imagine you at the moment are adults … 18 years old! You might be each so kind-hearted, generous, and loving.”
The musician’s tribute video included photos from knowledgeable shoot taken when the kids were newborn babies, plus snaps from later photo shoots where she appeared in full glam. At-home clips included within the edit also showed her children laughing and fiddling with mom, cuddling as much as mom and accompanying her each backstage and on-stage during performances across the globe.
“How lucky the world was on today 18 years ago when God decided to send you here with your entire talents and spirit and heart to make this world a greater place, because that’s what you do for me and anyone who’s lucky enough to know you each day-after-day,” Lopez continued. “‘I like you’ could never encapsulate the depth of feeling, affection, and care that I even have for you, my coconuts. It has all the time been the three of us!”
The tribute concluded, “Now we have been on this journey together. Now we have all the time had one another to carry on to and be that regular presence in the course of any snowstorm. And I promise you, my beautiful coconuts, regardless of how big you get, that’s how it should all the time be. All the time remember, Lulu, you might be my sunshine … and Max, you’re amazing just the way in which you might be!! I like you, I like you. Joyful 18th Birthday, my wonder twins!!!”
Proud mama! Jennifer Lopez is a triple threat performer but being a mother is her favorite role to this point. “Joyful birthday to my beautiful, good coconuts 🥥🥥,” the Marry Me actress gushed via Instagram in February 2023, celebrating kids Max and Emme’s fifteenth trip across the sun. “You bring a lot joy and happiness to my heart and soul.

Ahead of Max and Emme attending college in 2026, Lopez told Entertainment Tonight in January that she felt “really good” about watching her children embark on latest chapters. “I’m like, [I] can’t imagine we’ve gotten here, you already know, just the three of us. It’s been a journey for all three of us through this life [because] I used to be a single mom since they were 3 years old,” she told the outlet on the time. (Lopez and Anthony, 57, announced their split in July 2011 and the twins were born in 2008.)
Lopez added, “People have are available in and out of my life, however it really has just been the three of us. To see how they’re type of, like, thriving right away and the adults, like, young adults that they’re growing into … they’re so ready for his or her life. They’re so able to get on the market and I remember what that felt like [at] 18.”
