Jennifer Lopez on family support and graduation milestone

The graduation came shortly after Lopez spoke emotionally about her twins preparing to leave home for college. During an appearance on 'Jimmy Kimmel Live!' on Wednesday, May 27, she became emotional while discussing the milestone, admitting, “Don’t talk about it because we start crying. I’ve been crying for two months.” 

Adding that she fully supports her twins attending different colleges, saying, “I want them to be happy and go where they want to go and do what they want to do.” Lopez also shared on her plans to be closely involved in the transition to college, and playing a major role in helping the twins move into their dorms.

She said, "We have sheets at the house. We’re gonna pack up their rooms here and they’re going to take all the things that they want to take to their dorms.”

She then reasoned, "they’re gonna get there and realize their dorms are too small, They’re going to miss home I hope and want to come back real soon. That’s my plan.” Lopez also admitted she’s excited for Max and Emme’s new chapter. 

She continued, “I remember being that age and thinking I couldn’t wait to get out in the world and do my thing. I really wanted that. All year people are asking me, ‘Oh they’re going away to college it’s going to be terrible.’ No, it’s going to be great. I want them to go out there and do what they want to do."
