Emma is now 14 years old and following in the footsteps of J. Lo as a singer.
They surprised Super Bowl viewers by singing alongside their pop star mom on the 2020 halftime show.
Emme sang a rendition of Lopez’s hit Let’s Get Loud, accompanied by a choir of other girls.
They then sang Bruce Springsteen’s classic “Born in the USA”.
During J. Lo’s 2019 It’s My Party tour, Emme also joined her on stage for a performance of “Boundless” from the Second Act soundtrack.
On June 19, 2022, Lopez performed with Emme again at the sixth annual Blue Diamond Gala hosted by the Los Angeles Dodgers Foundation where she revealed that Emme uses “they/they” pronouns.
“(Last time) we performed together in such a big stadium, and I keep asking them to sing with me, but they won’t,” J. Lo said then via TODAY.
“So this is a very special occasion because they are very, very busy and booked and expensive. They cost me when they come out but they are worth every penny because they are my favorite duet partners of all time. So if you would spoil me.”
After the introduction, Emme took the stage and performed “A Thousand Years” by Christina Perri.
