Jennifer Lopez was visibly moved as she attended her son Max’s high school graduation ceremony on Friday. Captured in photographs shared by Page Six, the renowned singer, dressed elegantly in a floral dress paired with a gray cardigan and nude heels, was seen wiping tears from her eyes during the emotional occasion.
In one touching photograph, Lopez is seen sharing a warm embrace with her 18-year-old son, Max, who chose a casual yet stylish look for his graduation day by wearing a tie-dye shirt complemented by tan pants and matching sneakers.
Accompanying Lopez at the celebration were her supportive parents, Guadalupe Rodríguez and David Lopez, along with her manager, Benny Medina. Also present for the momentous event was Max’s twin sister, Emme.
A snapshot of Lopez and Emme walking together was also captured, highlighting their close bond. On this special day, Emme wore a red polo shirt combined with blue slacks, completing the family’s ensemble of pride and joy.
Lopez and Emme were also photographed walking together, with the recent grad sporting a red polo and blue slacks.
The “Office Romance” star shares her twins with ex-husband Marc Anthony, to whom she was married for 10 years before their 2014 divorce, though he wasn’t seen at the ceremony.
The musician also skipped out on Emme’s graduation last month.
Lopez, however, attended Emme’s ceremony with Rodríguez, Max and her former stepson, Samuel Affleck.
Emme and Ben Affleck’s 14-year-old son were seen chatting in a series of pictures obtained by Page Six at the time.
Lopez tied the knot with Affleck in 2022 and the pair has kept in close contact with each other’s children since their 2024 split.
The “Argo” star shares three kids with ex-wife Jennifer Garner: Samuel, Violet, 20, and Fin, 17.
During Emme’s graduation, it was revealed that Lopez’s child is going by a new name.
A March Instagram post announcing where Emme is going to college, identified the student as “Oskar Muñiz” alongside a childhood photo. The post also tagged Emme’s Instagram account.
However, Lopez’s tears on Friday were to be expected, as the hitmaker admitted she had been “crying for two months” while on “Jimmy Kimmel Live!” the evening before Emme’s graduation.
The actress added that her main goal is to now see the twins “be happy and go where they want to go and do what they want to do.”
Before the kids jet off to their next chapter, Lopez revealed how she avoided spoiling her children.
“I mean, they do what they see you do,” she said while on Monday night’s episode of “Watch What Happens Live.”
“So, it’s not so much what you tell them all the time. Even though I’m trying to download everything I’ve ever learned in my life, every lesson … to them right now … before they leave [for college] in August,” she expressed.
For Lopez, the superstar said it’s “who you are as a person” and what your children see you do.
The “Kiss of the Spider Woman” star confessed that her kids don’t “want to be anything like” her and want their “own path.”
“They see this persona as such a thing,” Lopez explained to host Andy Cohen. “And but I also see them like mimic, not mimic, but just pick up things that are the good things or the good traits about you.”
