Jennifer Lopez has never shied away from her roots. In a candid interview, the global superstar delved deep into her personal life, providing a rare glimpse into her world as a mother.
At the heart of this conversation was a poignant reflection on her 15-year-old twins, Emme and Max, whom she shares with ex-husband Marc Anthony and co-parents alongside her husband Ben Affleck.
With raw honesty, the Maid in Manhattan star shared: “I do things with really good intentions always. It's all about love—the love I feel, what I want to express in the world, and the legacy I wish to leave behind. I often think about how I want my kids and my husband to remember me.”
