Jennifer Lopez is so proud of the giant strides her teenage twins Emme and Max are making in life, as she revealed they got into all five colleges they applied for with scholarships.
The singer previously revealed that she has been moved to tears as they prepare to leave her with an empty nest to pursue their freshman college year.
Emme appears to have debuted a new name as well as their preferred college destination in a compilation of graduating seniors from L.A.’s Windward School, where they graduated.
Jennifer Lopez may be an international pop star, acclaimed actress, and seasoned entrepreneur, but one title she remains mostly proud of is mom to her twins Emme and Max, whom she shares with Marc Anthony.
In a recent chat with Extra, the “Maid In Manhattan” star was ecstatic as she revealed that both of her children were accepted into every single one of the five universities they applied to.
They didn’t stop there, as every acceptance came with merit-based scholarship offers, making the singer beam with pride.
“I am so proud that they set goals for themselves,” she said, per People Magazine. “They all got into all five colleges that they applied to. They both got a scholarship to each, you know, one scholarship to each. Each one got a scholarship to a school. And I just felt like they work so hard.”
The Twins Achieved The Feat Despite Battling ADHD
What seemingly touched Lopez the most is how much work they put into achieving the record despite battling ADHD and constantly being in the public eye due to their mom’s superstar status.
“I watched how hard they worked, from the time they were like… when school gets serious in the fifth grade, and they just worked hard,” she continued. “They have ADHD, and so they need to learn differently, and there were struggles and times, and I’m just so proud of them because they did what they said they were going to do, and they’re good people.”
The “Office Romance” star went further to gush over the 18-year-olds, saying they’re “loving, good-hearted people.”
“And they always said that. I always say to them, ‘What do I say?’ And they say, ‘Doesn’t matter if we get good grades so long as we’re good people.’ And I was like, ‘That’s right.’ And they still sometimes will quote that back to me. So I’m very proud of both of them,” she added.

They have things they want to do. It’s going to be great.”
