Jennifer Lopez looks back on 'crazy' motherhood journey amid busy career

Jennifer Lopez is getting honest about how she raised her twins, Emme and Max, with "very little help."

​The multi-hyphenate, who shares 18-year-old twins with ex-husband Marc Anthony, made a recent appearance on the June 15 episode of the SmartLess podcast and looked back at her "crazy" motherhood journey.

​The Office Romance star, who is currently over the moon as her twins recently graduated high school, told hosts Jason Bateman, Will Arnett and Sean Hayes, "Both my kids got into all their colleges. They both got scholarships and they're going where they want to go."

​As the doting mom raised her kids along with her booming acting and singing career, she confessed, "Now, I can really look at my life, appreciate it for what it is and what I’ve created for myself and be really happy."

​Lopez expressed her gratitude that she parented her kids all by herself.

​"I was like, ‘You did that s*** all by yourself. That’s great. Like, ‘You had very little help,' you know?" she admitted.

​It is pertinent to mention that Lopez remained married to Anthony for a decade, before finalizing their divorce in 2014.

​Anthony was already a father to four kids before welcoming kids with Lopez in 2008. Following their split, Lopez and Anthony agreed to joint legal and physical custody of their twins.

​Anthony, whose real name is Marco Antonio Muñiz, is currently married to Nadia Ferreira, with whom he welcomed another kid in 2023, and he is expecting another child.
