Jennifer Lopez declares she raised twins with ‘very little help’

Jennifer Lopez has declared she raised her twins Max and Emme with “very little help”.

The Let’s Get Loud diva opened up about the “crazy” journey of solo parenting her children, Emme and Max Muñiz, and explained how proud she was to have raised two two adults ready to go off to university.

“Now, I can really look at my life, appreciate it for what it is and what I’ve created for myself and be really happy,” JLo, 56, told the SmartLess podcast.

“Both my kids got into all their colleges. They both got scholarships and they’re going where they want to go.”

She took a moment to congratulate herself on her own achievement, pointing out that for most of her children’s lives, she had been a single mother.

“I was like, ‘You did that s**t all by yourself,'” Jennifer explained to hosts Jason Bateman, Will Arnett and Sean Hayes. “That’s great. Like, ‘You had very little help,’ you know?”

JLo divorced the twins’ father, singer Marc Anthony, whose real name is Marco Antonio Muñiz, in 2011 after a seven-year marriage.

She went on to marry her ex-fiancé Ben Affleck, 53, in July 2022 and briefly blended their families – Ben is father to Violet, 20, Seraphina, 17, and Samuel, 14, from his marriage to ex Jennifer Garner – before splitting from the actor in 2024.
