Jennifer Lopez’s Child Emme Muñiz Now Publicly Identified as Oskar Muñiz

School and social-media posts show the student using the name Oskar as they prepare to study theater and visual arts at Sarah Lawrence with no official family statement.

Overview

  • A Windward School–linked Instagram account that posts seniors’ college destinations identified the student as “Oskar Muñiz” and noted plans to attend Sarah Lawrence College to study theater and visual arts, a detail reinforced by an apparent student account.
  • Multiple outlets reported the posts this week after the school’s graduation coverage showed the name in the college-destinations listing, which prompted widespread media attention.
  • Jennifer Lopez attended the recent high-school graduation while Marc Anthony was not seen at the ceremony, and neither parent has issued a public statement confirming a legal name change or explaining the use of Oskar.
  • The timing coincides with the student’s move from high school to college, a life-stage change that can prompt new public naming choices and greater independence from parents and hometown media.
  • The student was born Feb. 22, 2008, is the twin of Max Muñiz, and prior public moments — including Lopez’s 2022 onstage use of gender-neutral pronouns for Emme — provide context for why observers see the social posts as a public signal rather than a settled legal update.
