Jennifer Lopez gushed about her children in a sweet post shared to Instagram on Sunday, July 28.
“My whole heart 💚🤍,” the mother-of-two, 55, posted alongside a carousel of photos of teen twins, Max and Emme, 16. The first image showed Lopez in a beautiful green button-down dress with a white belt. She accessorized with silver jewelry, and wore her hair slicked back into a ponytail in the image, in which she could be seen smiling lovingly at son Max.
The next photo is a more casual look with daughter Emme, who sported a plaid button-down shirt, and had a large pair of headphones around her neck. Lopez smiled in the selfie, sporting oversized sunglasses, and a simple crewneck. The final image in the carousel is a throwback photo of the twins when they were younger, huddled together as they look at something off-screen.

The Shotgun Wedding star shares Max and Emme with ex Marc Anthony, to whom she was married from 2004 until they filed for divorce in 2012. Their divorce was finalized in 2014. The heartfelt Instagram post comes amid divorce speculation with current husband, Ben Affleck. The Air star, 51, was reportedly absent from Lopez’s lavish Bridgerton-themed 55th birthday celebrations in the Hamptons.
On July 24, the day of her actual birthday, Lopez stepped out with a friend and her son Max to go to Candy Kitchen in Bridgehampton, New York. The first image in the Instagram carousel is likely from this outing. Earlier in July, fans were left wondering if a post shared to Lopez’s JLo Beauty account hinted that the couple had split for good.
In a video showing off some of her skincare products, Lopez was noticeably not seen wearing her big diamond wedding ring. Rumors have also swirled about a breakup due to the couple listing their $60 million mansion, which Affleck has moved out of. The director, who shares three children with ex Jennifer Garner, moved into a rental in Brentwood, California, per TMZ.
After previously calling off their engagement in the early 2000s, Affleck and Lopez reunited in April 2021, and tied the knot in a small ceremony in Las Vegas in July 2022.
