Max and Emme, JLo and Marc Anthony’s twins turn 15!
Boy, have they grown up fast! Today, on February 22, Jennifer Lopez and Marc Anthony’s kids, Emme Maribel and Maximilian David, are celebrating their 15th birthday, marking a significant milestone in their lives. The twins have transformed from children to total adolescents, discovering their identities and paving their way toward future personalities.
While Marc Anthony’s good genes predominate in his son Max, Emme bears a striking resemblance to their famous mother, particularly during her younger years.
Marc Anthony and his kids
Marc Anthony has six kids and one more on the way with his fourth wife, model Nadia Ferreria.
His eldest is his daughter, Arianna Muñiz, who he shared with Debbie Rosado. While in that relationship, the singer adopted Alex, Debbie’s eldest son from a previous relationship.
Then from his first marriage to Dayanara Torres, from 2000 to 2004, Marc is the father of Cristian, 22, and Ryan, 19. In his second marriage, the Latin singer married Jennifer Lopez, and they had twins Emme and Max.

Maximilian David bears a strong resemblance to his father. He is identical to Marc when he was younger.

As for Emme, they are the spitting image of her mother. Emme inherited the same nose, as well as the smile and curly hair of her mother.
Jennifer Lopez’s children
JLo and Marc Anthony’s twins were born four years after the couple got together. The children entered the world on February 22, 2008, at the North Shore Teaching Hospital on Long Island, New York.

Emme is older than Max by 13 minutes; she was born before her brother. Since they are twins, their sibling relationship is extremely special.

Jennifer Lopez refers to her children as ‘coconuts’ or cocos. The star explained to Access Hollywood that the reason for this affectionate nickname and it’s very sweet.
“I have called them that since they were born... Some babies are born with perfect hair, but mine were not. Most children are born with full bald hair and they look a bit like coconuts. So I started calling them ‘coconuts’ when they were little and in the end it stuck over time”.

Although JLo is protective of her children’s private lives, she usually shares sweet photos from when they were little on her social media. Perhaps she is nostalgic for those years when her children were always by her side.

Being the children of two great stars in the entertainment world means growing up in the spotlight, which means the public has followed their evolution over the years.

Even though Marc and JLo have been separated since 2011, the two have a great co-parenting relationship. The former couple has been photographed at various events related to the children, such as birthdays.

Emme and Max have a close relationship with their grandfather, Mr. Felipe Muñiz. In addition to the bond that unites them, the twins also have features from their grandfather, such as his smile.

In 2022, JLo revealed that Emme Muñiz identified as non-binary. JLo introduced Emme in a show using neutral pronouns, showing support and respect for their decisions.
Max Muñiz- Jennifer Lopez’ son
As for Max, the young man is more reserved than his older sister. He likes video games, and perhaps, in the future, he could also follow in his mother’s footsteps in the world of entertainment, as in 2022, he made his film debut in the movie Marry Me, along side his mom and singer Maluma.
“He didn’t want to do it, really, but other children in the family encouraged him by saying: ‘Do it, do it, you’re going to enjoy it,’” the actress told the program El gordo y la flaca (Univision). After shooting the film, her son really enjoyed the experience and seemed to like acting. “He had a great time and wants to do it more. He wants to be an actor,” added the singer.

The singer’s children are growing up and changing as young adults, which has been challenging for the singer to assimilate. “It’s the most heartbreaking moment,” said JLo in an interview with Stellar last year. “I thought my heart was broken before, no, this is the worst.”

“They just need to find their own way,” said the actress. “They love you, you are their mom, you have taken care of them, and now they need to have their own identity,” she added.

Jennifer hopes that her children’s difficult teenage years will pass soon and they “come back” to her, as she misses that tender childhood period.
In a few years, Max and Emme will go their separate ways and head off to college, so Jennifer has a few years left to enjoy the twins before they fly out of the nest.
