Jennifer Lopez Breaks Down as Twins Prepare to Leave for College

The moment signals the emotional shift parents face when children leave home.

Overview

  • Lopez became visibly emotional on Watch What Happens Live with Andy Cohen during a June 8 appearance and said she often starts crying when preparing graduation materials for her twins.
  • Her children, 18-year-old twins Max and Emme, have finished high school and are set to leave home for college, a milestone Lopez described as making her an 'empty nester.'
  • In a separate interview with Extra, Lopez praised the twins' hard work and said both received multiple college acceptances and scholarships, a detail reported by outlets but not independently verified in the coverage.
  • Lopez reflected on parenting on air, saying she has given her children 'roots and wings' and that children learn more from what parents do than what they say.
