Her 18-year-old twins, Max Muñiz and Emme Maribel Muñiz, were by her side, keeping things casual while Lopez posed affectionately with Max in front of an American flag. The youngsters, born in February 2008 with ex-husband Marc Anthony, have both shown interest in the arts — Emme has even joined her mother onstage.
The gathering featured a spirited sing-along to Bonnie Tyler’s "Total Eclipse of the Heart," and Lopez reflected on parenting teens, saying those years bring new challenges. She explained she parents differently than her own mom, shaped by being a working mother and having children later in life, and that her priority is guiding them as they grow.
