Jennifer Lopez is spending time with her children in Rome as they prepare to embark on their college journeys. The singer, 57, was seen with her twins, Max and Oskar, during a family vacation in the Italian capital. The trip comes as both of Lopez's children are set to become college students, marking a transition for the singer as she anticipates becoming an "empty nester."
During their time in Rome, Lopez and her children visited iconic landmarks such as the Colosseum and the Spanish Steps. The family also indulged in local cuisine, including gelato. Throughout their excursions, they were accompanied by a security detail. Lopez was seen taking photos of her children, capturing memories of their trip.
Momentarily, both Max and Oskar appeared engaged with their personal devices, with Oskar at one point seen with earbuds in while looking at his phone. Lopez herself was dressed in a satin mini dress paired with metallic flip-flops and a headscarf, while her children opted for more casual attire.
This period marks a significant transition for Lopez, who has spoken openly about her emotional state regarding her children leaving for college. In previous interviews, she described it as an "emotional time" and admitted to crying for months leading up to their graduations. She noted that her twins have always been a central part of her life, making the prospect of them leaving home a profound change.
Oskar, formerly known as Emme, recently revealed a transgender identity, using he/him pronouns. Lopez had previously referred to Oskar using "they" pronouns in 2022, indicating a nonbinary identification at that time. Max and Oskar are the children of Lopez and singer Marc Anthony, to whom she was married for 10 years.
Lopez has also been candid about her personal life, discussing her single status following her 2024 divorce from Ben Affleck. She has expressed contentment with her current phase of life, stating that she is "so happy" and has "been doing it all wrong" by previously fearing being alone.
