J-Lo introduces one of her twins to the stage using gender-neutral pronouns
WASHINGTON (TND) — Jennifer Lopez surprised her audience at a recent benefit show in Los Angeles with a guest performer — her 14-year-old child, Emme Maribel Muñiz.
Lopez introduced Emme to the stage at the Blue Diamond Gala by the Dodgers Foundation Thursday night using gender-neutral pronouns “they” and “them.”
The two previously sang together at the halftime show during Super Bowl LIV in 2020.
“The last time we performed together was at a big stadium like this,” Lopez said in one of three TikTok videos posted by @ChristinaTheSupermom.
“I ask them to sing with me all the time, but they won’t, so this is a very special occasion,” Lopez added. “They’re very, very busy and booked and pricey. They cost me when they come out but they’re worth every single penny.”
Lopez went on to describe her daughter as her “favorite duet partner of all time” before Emme took the stage.
Emme then began singing, “A Thousand Years,” which is a song by artist Christina Perri. Emme sang into a glittery rainbow microphone while wearing a magenta jacket, shorts, and black hat.
Lopez, who donned a turquoise outfit and matching feathered robe, looked on and smiled at her child and sang along.
Lopez posted photos of the event on Twitter. One of the images shows the two singing together.
Lopez shares the 14-year-old, along with her son, Maximillian, with her ex-husband Marc Anthony.
The twins celebrated their birthday in February, with Lopez sharing a video of her children on Instagram on Feb. 22.
“You have taught me the true meaning of life and have changed me forever in the most amazing way. I am so grateful for you both!!!” Lopez wrote. “I only hope I can be half of the blessing you have been to my life.”
The 52-year-old singer-actress is currently dating Ben Affleck. She praised him on social media Sunday, which was Father’s Day.
“Happy Father’s Day to the most caring, loving, affectionate, consistent and selfless Daddy ever. #HappyFathersDay my love,” Lopez wrote.
