It’s clear the mother-daughter duo have a close bond. “Everything I do with my mom is really fun. Honestly, even though she drives me crazy, like all our moms drive us crazy,” Jennifer said.

In addition to J.Lo, Lupe, 74, is also a mom to daughters Lynda Lopez and Leslie Lopez. “She was a young mom. She got married when she was 20. She had my sister when she was 21,” Jennifer said. The singer’s mother had all her children by the age of 25. “We all grew up together,” the Hustlers actress shared. “It was like living with a teenager to be honest.”
