How Jennifer Lopez Is Preparing to Be an Empty Nester

“I’m happy because I remember how exciting that time of my life was when I was like, ‘Oh, I’m figuring out what I want to do with my life,'” she shared on Live With Kelly and Mark ahead of the screening. “It’s an exciting adventure, and I want that for them. But I also think, ‘Oh, I’m gonna be by myself.'”

Jennifer—who settled her divorce from Ben Affleck in January—admitted that although there were some “brutal” years as Max and Emme navigated their earlier teenage years, she emphasized that their bond has only grown deeper.

“We’re close. We’re a close-knit three,” Jennifer said. “A lot had happened to us. We had to bond together. And so that kind of changed things and made it really beautiful for us.”
