On Monday evening, Ms. Jennifer Lopez, aged fifty-six, attended a celebratory dinner at Nobu Malibu following the conclusion of her family’s summer stay in the Hamptons. She was accompanied by a party of six individuals, which included her younger sister, Ms. Lynda Lopez, and her non-binary child, Emme Maribel Muñiz, who had earlier in the day commenced their senior year of high school.
For the occasion, Ms. Lopez was attired in a coordinated denim ensemble, complemented by espadrille wedges and a brown Hermès Birkin handbag, the value of which is known to range from approximately $5,000 to $500,000.
Ms. Lopez additionally shared a post via Instagram Story, addressing her 386.6 million followers, wherein she stated: ‘I just dropped off this little coconut to their first day of senior year.’
In a reflective social media post, Ms. Jennifer Lopez stated: ‘Looking back at this photo from a few years ago, it just remind[s] me that they’ll always be my beautiful baby!’ Notably, the two-time Grammy Award nominee omitted any reference to her son, Mr. Maximilian David Muñiz, who, like his fraternal twin Emme, is presently seventeen years of age. Unlike Emme, Mr. Muñiz maintains a comparatively private profile, whereas Emme has engaged publicly in their mother’s professional endeavors, including providing back-up vocals on the 2019 track Limitless, performing on the subsequent 37-date It’s My Party tour, and appearing at the Super Bowl LIV halftime show in 2020.
Ms. Lopez welcomed her twins during her seven-year marriage to her third husband, Mr. Marc Anthony, with whom she divorced in 2011. In a March 2023 interview with E! News, Ms. Lopez remarked on her approach to parenting, stating: ‘If you learned anything after all these years, [it] is whatever they want, whatever they say. No, they’re wonderful. I have a wonderful family.’ She further observed in a separate January 2023 interview that her children are increasingly ‘wrapped up in their own lives,’ but emphasized their candor and willingness to offer unvarnished opinions regarding her professional projects.
Professionally, Ms. Lopez is scheduled to receive the Virtuoso Award at the SCAD Savannah Film Festival in Georgia on November 1, 2025, in recognition of her performance in Kiss of the Spider Woman.
