Jennifer Lopez marked a milestone for her twins, Emme and Max, who turned 18 on Sunday, February 22.
The singer and actress took to Instagram to celebrate the day with a heartfelt message, reflecting on motherhood, growing together, and the bond they have shared since the day they were born.
Alongside a video she put together where she captured moments from their childhood to now, Lopez looked back on the night she welcomed her twins into the world.
“You were born in the middle of the night, in the midst of the biggest, most beautiful snowstorm NY had seen in years!!” she wrote.
“I remember riding in the car and looking out the window, where everything was twinkling and covered in white that night, as I held you both in my belly for the last few moments before I gave birth to you.”
The 56-year-old singer described the moment as magical, adding that she felt it set the tone for their lives ahead. “It was as if God was making sure you would enter a world full of pure magic!! In my heart, I knew that’s how your life would always be!!”
Lopez, who shares Emme and Max with her ex-husband Marc Anthony, also reflected on how becoming a mother changed her forever.
“When I would hold you as infants, I honestly felt as if I were holding two angels sent straight from heaven above. My life was changed forever,” she shared.
Now watching them step into adulthood, Lopez admitted the moment feels surreal. “I cannot believe you are now adults…18 years old! You are both so kind-hearted, generous, and loving.”
She went on to praise her twins for the people they are becoming and the impact they have on those around them. “How lucky the world was on this day 18 years ago when God decided to send you here with all of your talents and spirit and heart to make this world a better place.”
Referring to Emme and Max as her “coconuts,” Lopez emphasised that their tight-knit bond has always been constant. She added that through every phase of life, they have leaned on one another.
“We have always had each other to hold on to and be that steady presence in the middle of any snowstorm. And I promise you, my beautiful coconuts, no matter how big you get, that’s how it will always be.”
She ended the message with a personal note to each twin. “Always remember, Lulu, you are my sunshine…and Max, you’re amazing just the way you are!!”
The birthday tribute comes as the twins have been making more public appearances with their mother, including joining her on stage during her Las Vegas residency.
