Jennifer Lopez has worn many hats in the entertainment industry, including actress, singer, dancer, producer, clothing designer and perfumer, but no title means more to her than “mom.” The Bronx native is the mother to twins Max and Emme with her ex-husband, Marc Anthony. Now that her kids are on their way to college, fans are learning more about them every passing day, such as the fact that Emme now goes by the name “Oskar,” as revealed in an Instagram post announcing their commitment to study theatre at Sarah Lawrence College.

Jennifer married Marc just months after her first split from Ben Affleck in June 2004 (they divorced, however, in 2014). The two had been romantically linked in the past, and had previously collaborated on the Spanish language duet “No Me Ames” on her 1999 debut album On The 6. Three years after the secretive wedding, the Maid In Manhattan star announced she was pregnant on November 8, 2007.
The then 38-year-old broke the news while she was on the joint El Cantante Tour with Marc in Miami after weeks of speculation. “Marc and I are expecting a baby!” she said as Marc cradled her bump. “We are happy…This is a special time in our lives. And we waited until the last show to tell you,” she said.
Just weeks before she gave birth, J.Lo’s dad David Lopez confirmed his middle daughter was expecting not one, but two babies. “Yes, twins…The thing is in my family, my sister also had twins, so it’s a hereditary thing,” he said on Spanish-language show Escéndalo TV. “I’m very proud. Jennifer has yearned to be a mother for many years.”
