Jennifer Lopez shared an emotional tribute to her twins, Max and Emme, on their 18th birthday.
The singer and actress shared an intimate video montage of her twins over the years on Instagram Sunday. Set to One Direction’s “18,” the video featured special moments in their lives, including Emme’s surprise appearance during her mother’s Super Bowl LIV halftime show alongside Shakira in 2020.
Lopez, who shares Emme and Max with her ex-husband, Marc Anthony, recalled giving birth to her twins in the middle of the night during a snowstorm in New York City.
“It was as if God was making sure you would enter a world full of pure magic!!” she wrote. “In my heart, I knew that’s how your life would always be!!”
“When I would hold you as infants, I honestly felt as if I were holding two angels sent straight from heaven above,” she continued, “My life was changed forever.”
The “Hustlers” star fondly referred to her children as her “coconuts.”
“‘I love you’ could never encapsulate the depth of feeling, affection, and care that I have for you, my coconuts,” she wrote. “It has always been the three of us!! We have been on this journey together.”
“We have always had each other to hold on to and be that steady presence in the middle of any snowstorm,” she added. “And I promise you, my beautiful coconuts, no matter how big you get, that’s how it will always be.”
“Always remember, Lulu, you are my sunshine…and Max, you’re amazing just the way you are!! … Happy 18th Birthday, my wonder twins!!!”
Last October, the twins made a rare appearance at the New York City premiere of her film, “Kiss of the Spider Woman.”
Lopez, 56, beamed as she posed with them on the red carpet.
Emme rocked a red velvet suit jacket, black satin shirt and a pair of black pants, while Max wore a multi-colored jacket over a burgundy sweater and a pair of khaki slacks.
