Jennifer Lopez marked a significant milestone by sharing intimate photos from her twins Max and Emme’s high school graduation ceremonies. The singer posted the images to Instagram, accompanied by a heartfelt caption expressing her pride and emotions.
One photograph captured Lopez embracing her son Max, 18, with a tender expression. Another image featured Emme, also 18, who is now using the name Oskar, smiling in a graduation gown before a "Class of 2026" sign. A close-up of Oskar’s graduation cap, emblazoned with the phrase “Not my first rodeo,” was also shared, alongside graduation-themed cupcakes.
Lopez had previously attended separate graduation ceremonies for her children earlier in June. Reports described her as wiping away tears while watching Max graduate and sharing a tight hug with him during his ceremony. She was joined at one of the events by her parents, Guadalupe Rodríguez and David Lopez, manager Benny Medina, and Oskar.
Lopez and ex-husband Marc Anthony welcomed Max and Emme in 2008, two years after their 2004 marriage. They divorced in 2014. Anthony, 57, was not present at either of the recent ceremonies. He has five other children, including a son, Marco, with his current wife Nadia Ferreira, and four older children from previous relationships.
It was revealed following Oskar’s graduation that the performer’s child is using a new name. A March social media post announcing college acceptances identified a student as “Oskar Muñiz,” tagging Oskar’s Instagram account. Oskar plans to study theater and visual arts at Sarah Lawrence College, while Max’s college plans remain private.
Lopez, who had confessed to Jimmy Kimmel in May that she had been “crying for two months” in anticipation of the ceremonies, expressed her desire for her children to be happy and pursue their own paths. She shared her hope that they would eventually miss home and return soon, anticipating their "big dreams" would lead to a "great" next chapter.
