Jennifer Lopez Says She’s Been Crying for Two Months as Twins Prepare to Leave for College

Her May 27 appearance on Jimmy Kimmel Live! captured a public, emotional shift as she prepares to move her 18‑year‑old twins into separate college dorms.

Overview

  • Lopez told Jimmy Kimmel that she has “been crying for two months” over her children’s upcoming graduation and that she expects to cry again at the ceremony.
  • She said writing yearbook messages for Max and Emme took her two days because the task made her very emotional.
  • The twins, now 18, will attend different colleges this fall and Lopez confirmed she will personally help move them into their dorm rooms despite the likely commotion.
  • Lopez repeatedly framed the moment as bittersweet: she wants the children to follow their own paths and be happy, while also hoping they might miss home and visit often.
  • She shares Max and Emme with ex‑husband Marc Anthony, marked their 18th birthdays in February, and has said a 2025 conversation with the kids led her to be more present as a parent, which helps explain her mix of pride and prolonged sadness.
