Jennifer Lopez and her children, especially her young child, Emme Maribel Muñiz, are undoubtedly embodiments of musical talent. This fact was proven again at one of the award-winning singer's gigs, which took place on June 16, 2022.

Lopez performed some of her hits at the Dodger Stadium to entertain at the sixth annual Blue Diamond Gala of the Los Angeles Dodgers Foundation.

At some point during her performance, Lopez stunned the guests by inviting Emme to join her on stage for a duet.

The singer used the "they" and "them" pronouns to introduce the young teenager many times. In Lopez's words (via Today):

"The last time we performed together was in a big stadium like this, and I ask them to sing with me all the time, but they won't. So this is a very special occasion because they're very, very busy and 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 would indulge me," she added.

After joining their mother on stage, Emme and Lopez gave a fantastic rendition of Christina Perri's "A Thousand Years" to the audience's delight.

As of February 2022, it was available on Amazon for less than $12. In addition to their writing skills, Emme is very talented at singing.

Sometimes, they perform with their mother during shows, one of which was at the 2020 "Super Bowl LIV Halftime Show," where Emme completely stole the show.

When they're not writing or blowing everyone away with their pipes, Emme appears in her pop-star mom's music videos, specifically for the song "Limitless." Her vocals are also featured in the song.

While they did not explain why they were going in separate directions, cheating rumors followed the split. Still, Anthony said that the reason for their marriage ending was nothing sensational. By June 2014, their divorce was officially finalized.

Anthony continues to be active in the lives of his children. In 2020, he took to Instagram to share his pride over his ex-wife and child's half-time Superbowl performance, where Emma debuted their singing skills with the song "Born In the USA." In the post, he stated that they are his heart.

EMMA MUÑIZ STYLE

As a teenager, it's no wonder Emma has begun experimenting with fashion and style. They are now going for a more daring, bright, creative, and gender-neutral approach, in contrast to their previously feminine look. In 2021, the teen shared pictures online of a new bob haircut and electric blue hair.

In December of that same year, they rocked a new look, this time with red streaks in their hair, and a few days before this, they were spotted with ripped jeans, showing off Emma's creative and eclectic style. They have also experimented with tye-dye, but two staples they seem to love are denim and stylish oversized wear.

In June 2022, they were spotted wearing oversized jeans and a sweatshirt while spending time outside in Los Angeles. The budding singer also enjoys adding Vans or Converse sneakers to their outfit; this is whether the entire ensemble is meant to be formal or not.

One gorgeous example of this was their combination of a long floral skirt with white sneakers they wore while out with their mom in August 2022. Their striking blue curls topped off the innovative look.

MEET MAXIMILIAN DAVID MUÑIZ

Although Maximilian is Emme's twin, the pair appear to be opposites in their career choices. Unlike his sister, Maximilian loves to live more privately and would pick acting over singing. Lopez once said (via Hola):

"It's not that he's shy, but I think he wants to be more of a voice actor because he has a very different voice, and he can do very different voices. But he will do what he wants."

Thankfully, Maximilian's family is solidly behind him and will support his choices. Meanwhile, the young teenager's journey to being a great actor has already begun, as he made his acting debut in 2022, featuring in his mother's movie, "Marry Me."
