Despite their opposing outfits, the resemblance between Emme and their mom is becoming ever more apparent. 

In the photos, their features are strikingly similar and Emme looks a lot like JLo in her teens.

Max is the spitting image of his famous father proving the exes both have strong genes. 

JLo and Marc split in 2014 after ten years of marriage but have remained friends and successfully co-parent their children.

Speaking of their breakup, Marc told Nightline. “I’ll tell you that it wasn’t something sensationalistic happening. It was a realization on both our parts. So, you know, it wasn’t shocking. These things happen. It was a decision that we made jointly.”

He’s praised his ex for being an all round incredible person. 

“She’s the first one in the room and the last one to leave,” Marc said in a 2021 Instyle interview. “The hardest worker I’ve ever met. When we were together, it was quite the opposite for me. That has changed since. I learned so much from her.”

Jennifer is single again after her divorce from Ben Affleck and recently opened up about raising her children solo.

“I’ve been a single mom at times in my life, and [I’ve asked,] ‘Am I enough for them?'” Jennifer shared with Entertainment Tonight, while reflecting on the challenges of raising teenagers and balancing her demanding career. 

But Jennifer recognizes her kids also have the love of their dad — even if he is the soft touch.

“I think it’s particularly hard on moms as they always kind of love dad,” she told Kelly Ripa during an appearance on Live!.

“They are always kind of like dad’s the best, and I’m just like, I was like that with my dad too and my mom told me and I’ll say it to you right now on TV for everybody. I understand you so much more now!”
