Jennifer Lopez is a mother of two teenagers and opened up about this new experience. The singer shares her twins, Maximilian "Max" David Muniz and Emme Maribel Muniz, with her ex-husband Marc Anthony.

The former couple tied the knot in 2004, days after Anthony divorced his ex-wife, Dayanara Torres. The two eventually went their separate ways in 2014 but opened up about their whirlwind romance.

There are many things that Lopez loved about Anthony. She loved that they were both Puerto Rican and grew up in New York. The "Hustlers" star was raised in the Bronx and Anthony in East Harlem, where her mother grew up.

Another part of her relationship with Anthony that she appreciated was how safe she felt. Lopez said she could call him anytime, anywhere, and he would stop the world for her.

On the other hand, the "I Need You" singer had always been in love with Lopez. He heard that she was a fan of his, so their first meet-up was highly anticipated. Anthony felt that he completely ruined the moment because the first words he uttered were, "You're my wife, and you don't even know it."

When their marriage ended, Lopez did not say much about the reasons behind their separation. She simply reiterated that she needed to do the right thing for herself, and the only way she could do that was to walk away.

Raising Teenagers

However, her children were the best thing to come out of her union with Anthony. The former couple has both moved on, and Lopez recently celebrated a year of marriage with her current husband, Ben Affleck.

The twins are now 15 years old, and Lopez opened up about how they are developing their own personalities and opinions. The mother of two praised her kids for being inquisitive and "challenging everything."

The "Marry Me" star thought it was good for her children to question things and not just follow the rules without understanding, as she did growing up.

As much as she is proud of her teenagers, Lopez still admitted that it was not the easiest stage of motherhood. She remembered how her mother used to discipline her during this stage of her life and now understood why she felt like the bad person.

Lopez finds herself being the one to discipline her children and feeling like the "bad guy." However, she knows she is doing it from a place of love. Another part of having teenagers she is adjusting to is how much time they spend in their rooms.

Although the singer remembered how much time she also spent in her room as a teenager and understood that it was part of being a teenager, she admitted that it was difficult for her heart to accept because she missed spending more time with them.

In any case, the "Shotgun Wedding" star loves being a mother. She believes her kids are special and cannot wait to see what they do with their lives. "It's unconditional love," she expressed.

Lopez usually keeps Max and Emme out of the limelight, but fans got to see them in a video she shared for their birthday. Commenters could not stop pointing out how much they resembled their father. "OMG, they look exactly like their father!!!!" remarked a netizen.
