Jennifer Lopez's twins are now 17 years old, and she's marking the occasion with a special tribute—complete with never-before-seen footage of the two siblings.  

On Instagram this weekend, the Unstoppable actress celebrated Max and Emme, whom she shares with Marc Anthony, by sharing a montage video. Set to Miley Cyrus's “Edge of Midnight,” it features rare footage of the pair as babies and several highlights from their younger years. Lopez captioned the post, "I love you beyond forever," adding two coconut emojis in reference to her nickname for the twins.

Lopez's post featured behind-the-scenes clips from past photoshoots, fun selfies and bonding moments with her kids backstage at live shows. The proud mom also included a clip of Emme's appearance at the Super Bowl Halftime Show in 2020, as well as more recent clips of her teens joining her for special outings.

One fan commented, "No matter how old they get, they will always be your babies. And the love you all share for one another is evident in all of these pics." Fellow actress Kate Hudson also wrote, "Awe babies getting so big."

The birthday tribute comes just a few weeks after Lopez opened up about her kids' influence on her work. In an interview with E! News, Lopez revealed that her children often weigh in on her career and personal life—and they don't sugarcoat anything. She said, “I think kids are, like, kind of wrapped up in their own lives a bit, but if you ask them, they will give you their honest opinion about everything. They’re ready to be brutally honest with you at times.”

She continued, “I like my kids to see my work and know what I’m doing. I’ll share certain things with them and say, ‘What do you think of this?’ Or ‘What do you think of that?’ And they always have an interesting perspective, because they’re from a different generation.”

While Lopez's kids tend to keep a low profile, they occasionally appear on their mom's social media feed—and Lopez doesn't hesitate to shower them with compliments. For instance, on Mother's Day in 2024, she wrote, "Thank you for giving me the privilege and gift to be your mother. The most beautiful blessing of my life. Every day I wake up and think what I can do to be a better mother to you. I ask God to instinctually let me be able to feel what you need in every moment so I can guide you and love you in every way that I can, so I can show you by example what it is to be a loving, caring, conscious, good human to yourself and others. Lulu and Max, I am here FOREVER to support you."

Happy birthday to Max and Emme!
