“This is hitting Jennifer right in the heart,” an insider confides. “She’s bursting with pride — but at the same time she’s devastated that her babies are suddenly all grown up.”
“Jennifer worked incredibly hard to give Max and Emme a real childhood. She made sure they stayed grounded. They’re thoughtful, smart kids, and she’s unbelievably proud of the young people they’ve become.”

Friends say Lopez is trying to focus on the joy of the moment — and the close bond the three of them share.
“She reminds herself that this is exactly what she raised them to do,” the source says. “Spread their wings and chase their dreams.”
