In a recent appearance on The View, Jennifer Lopez opened up about her twin teenagers and their opinions on her new album. Co-host Ana Navarro mentioned that Lopez's kids can be 'tough critics' and asked what her 15-year-olds thought of her latest release, 'This Is Me...Now.' Lopez revealed that they expressed a preference for her older album, 'This Is Me...Then,' which actually inspired her to approach her new project differently.
Lopez shared that when her kids heard her new album and watched the movie associated with it at the premiere, they were 'blown away' by her talent and expressed surprise at the level of her artistic skills. However, she also humorously admitted that they quickly shift gears and turn back into typical teenagers who advise her not to wear revealing outfits like crop tops.
Despite being seen as a superstar by the world, Lopez's kids remind her to just be 'Mom' at times. This playful dynamic between the famous musician and her children showcases the relatability of motherhood, where even celebrities have to deal with their kids' opinions and concerns.
During her recent interview on Apple Music Radio's 'This Is Me Now...Radio,' Lopez reflected on the challenges of shielding her kids from the pressures of the internet and social media. She explained that, like many other teenagers, her children are constantly on their phones, searching for information and exploring meme culture. Lopez acknowledged that it is impossible to completely protect them from the online world, but she and her partner, Ben Affleck, take a subtle approach by downplaying their fame within the family.
Lopez emphasized that her children's lives are more than just being the offspring of famous parents. They are smart, heartful, and brilliant individuals in their own right. She expressed pride in how they handle their unique upbringing, which has been subjected to public scrutiny since they were very young. Lopez acknowledged that their journey in the public eye may have its challenges, even beyond what they share with their parents, but she believes they navigate it beautifully.
As an involved parent and step-parent to Affleck's three children from his previous marriage, Lopez is determined to create a nurturing environment for all her kids. She recognizes the surreal nature of their upbringing and the potential difficulties they may face as they establish their own identities in the public eye. However, she assures everyone that her children handle their fame with grace and resilience.
Jennifer Lopez's candid conversation about her children sheds light on the complexities of parenting in the spotlight. It is a reminder that even celebrities face the same challenges and joys as everyday parents, and that open communication and humor can help navigate any situation.
