Jennifer Lopez is sharing her experience as a mom of twins. The Hollywood star, who is always making quality time for her family, revealed how she feels about raising two teenagers, admitting that she is the “bad cop” at times.
During a recent interview on ‘The View,’ the actress talked about her personal life with her husband Ben Affleck, and her two 15-year-old kids Max and Emme, from her previous relationship with Marc Anthony.

Jennifer went on to explain that her “heart hurts” sometimes, when she sees her kids “locked up in their rooms,” as she wants to spend time with them, adding, “Let’s hang out. I miss you!”

“And it’s all necessary. And intellectually, I understand it, but my heart, my heart hurts,” she concluded. The singer recently celebrated her twins’ birthday with an emotional tribute, “Happy birthday to my beautiful, brilliant coconuts,” she wrote. “I am so proud of you both in every single way. You bring so much joy and happiness to my heart and soul. I love you beyond forever.”
