Lopez, a mother to 16-year-old twins Max and Emme shared, “I think a lot of women have gone through that, and she [Judy] and I talked a lot.” “When you talk to Judy’s kids, including Anthony, they’re like, ‘My mom’s so positive, she’s so great,’” Lopez continued according to the outlet. “There was a whole different story there that she was living, that you hide from your children, you protect your children from that.”
Jennifer Lopez shared how Judy Robles’ children, including Anthony, always saw their mom as “so positive” and “so great,” not knowing the struggles she was hiding to protect them. Lopez connected this to her own experience, emphasizing how mothers often shield their kids from life’s challenges. In a separate interview, Ben Affleck described Lopez as “spectacular” when asked about her performance in Unstoppable. The Atlas star reportedly also shares a very good bond with Affleck-Garner’s kids.
