Jennifer Lopez Has the Perfect Reaction to Off Campus Featuring Her Song
Jennifer Lopez is teaching her kids how to live their life on the dorm floor.
As the “On the Floor” singer and Marc Anthony’s twins Max and Emme, both 18, prepare to head off to college, she revealed she will “absolutely” play a major role in their move into their dorms.
“I do all the things,” Jennifer assured Jimmy Kimmel during a May 27 appearance on Jimmy Kimmel Live! “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.”
Of course, the Maid in Manhattan star has hopes her only babies won’t stay away too long.
“Then, they’re gonna get there and realize their dorms are too small,” she reasoned. “They’re going to miss home I hope and want to come back real soon. That’s my plan.”
But while J.Lo has her gripes with empty nest syndrome, she admitted she’s excited for Max and Emme’s new chapter.
“I remember being that age and thinking I couldn’t wait to get out in the world and do my thing,” she explained. “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. They have dreams. They have things they want to do. It’s going to be great.”
Naturally, though, emotions have been running high ahead of the twins’ high school graduations.

“Two months ago, I had to write the little thing for the yearbook,” she recalled. “When I tell you, the tears. Two days it took me to write those things.”
Indeed, The Wedding Planner star admitted it’s been a tough era as a mom.
“Don’t talk about it because we start crying,” she joked. “I’ve been crying for two months.”
