It looks like Jennifer Lopez’s child may use gender neutral pronouns. This was pointed out after a recent show where Lopez brought her child onstage to sing with her.
Lopez and her child, Emme who is 14 years old, sang together at Dodgers Stadium for the Blue Diamond Gala.
The scene was caught on camera and uploaded to TikTok.
@christinathesupermom Jennifer Lopez JLO surprises audience at at the Blue Diamond Gala by the Dodgers foundation. Excuse shaky camera at end I was in shock myself.#jlo #jenniferlopez #jloandemme #dodgersfoundation #bluediamondball #jlosurpriseguest #tmz #jloperformance
The video, uploaded by @christinathesupermom had Lopez announcing her child, talking about the last time they performed together in a “big stadium like this.”
As she continued, commenters noticed Lopez referred to Emme as ‘they’ in the introduction.
\u201c"I ask them to sing with me all the time, but they won't. So this is a very special occasion. They are very, very busy. Booked. And pricey! It costs me when they come out," she joked.\u201d— BuzzFeed (@BuzzFeed) 1655659596
In the video, Lopez wore a bright green outfit and talked about her “favorite duet partner” as an introduction to Emme.
She talked about the last time Emme and Lopez performed together, which was at the 2020 Super Bowl Halftime Show. The preparation of that performance is the subject of the recent Netflix documentary Halftime.
As the speech went on, Lopez said:
“So this is a very special occasion. They are very, very busy. Booked. And pricey. They cost me when they come out.”
“But they're worth every single penny because they're my favorite duet partner of all time. So if you will indulge me.”
It sounds like Lopez is proud of her child.
\u201cThis is beautiful. Wouldn\u2019t it be awesome if parents supporting their children\u2019s pronouns was the norm?\u201d— Alex (@Alex) 1655759480
\u201cIt\u2019s amazing to see JLO supporting her child and using their prefer pronouns proud with the world \ud83c\udff3\ufe0f\u200d\ud83c\udf08\u201d— ian (@ian) 1655862296
\u201c@BuzzFeed BuzzFeed usually irritates me so bad, it makes my teeth itch, but this is worth amplifying and sharing. <3\n@pvdork @snowflakeJul @catmonkey22\u201d— BuzzFeed (@BuzzFeed) 1655659596
\u201cI'm not crying, you are\ud83d\ude2d\ud83d\udc96\ud83d\udc9a\nEmme and @JLo #LetsGetLoud\u201d— Camila Naiara |Halftime\ud83c\udfac (@Camila Naiara |Halftime\ud83c\udfac) 1655442826
\u201c@MollyJongFast The fact that kids feel comfortable in this day & age exploring their identities is just amazing. I feel so sorry for kids whose parents are not open to this.\u201d— Molly Jong-Fast (@Molly Jong-Fast) 1655815634
\u201c\ud83d\udc47\ud83c\udffb\ud83d\udc47\ud83c\udffb I say it all the time but my enby telling me they are non-binary was a gift because it just allows me to love them better. Who wouldn\u2019t want that kind of access?!?\u201d— Tesi Klipsch (@Tesi Klipsch) 1655818691
Emme is a twin with their brother Max. The two are from Lopez’s previous marriage to singer Marc Anthony.
The shared clip had Emme and Lopez singing "A Thousand Years" by Christina Perri. Another clip shared from the same performance saw the two singing Lopez’s “Let’s Get Loud”.
It’s almost infectious how excited the two are to sing together, and part of that comes from the understanding that Emme is loved and supported for who they are.
Studies show that children and teenagers who are supported in their identities, even if they don’t line up with the gender assigned at birth, have better outcomes in their levels of depression and anxiety.
We need more parents like Lopez.
\u201c@AlayeniEQ @BuzzFeed It should be, right?!?\nBut in this day and age, sadly, it's not.\u201d— BuzzFeed (@BuzzFeed) 1655659596
\u201cThey are so lucky to have such a loving, accepting, and supportive mom in @JLo.\u201d— Yashar Ali \ud83d\udc18 (@Yashar Ali \ud83d\udc18) 1655753968
\u201c@NinaDificil I've heard this theory before and it's wrong. I have nonbinary friends who were AFAB (assigned female at birth) and they are VERY feminine. It's not a fear of their own femininity. It's simply that they aren't women. And that's great. It's good to let people be who they are.\u201d— jlo (@jlo) 1655513030

\u201c@HuffPost It says a lot how triggered the right gets when a mother treats her child with basic respect and kindness.\u201d— HuffPost (@HuffPost) 1655779286
\u201cAnd for some feel good news!!\n\nJennifer Lopez loving her child unconditionally- why is this so hard for some other parents?\n\nLOVE YOUR TRANS KIDS UNCONDITIONALLY! \n\nThey are inherently the same kid as before they came out to you, just a different gender. \ud83c\udff3\ufe0f\u200d\u26a7\ufe0f \ud83d\udc9c\n\n#SupportTransYouth\u201d— Leanne Stap (@Leanne Stap) 1655725379
Lopez’s documentary Halftime follows the singer as she prepares for the critically acclaimed performance at the 2020 Super Bowl Halftime Show with Shakira. The documentary title isn’t just a reference to the performance, but also that Lopez is now in her early fifties and entering a new stage of life.
