For twenty-five years, Jennifer López’s body was commented on, measured, criticized, and admired by the entire world. She learned to live with it.
What she did not expect was to see that same judgment fall on her son.
In May 2026, Max Muñiz appeared alongside his mother at a premiere in New York. He is eighteen years old. Social media was quick to call him too thin.
Jennifer had already said it before, in 2023: she feels guilty that her children are growing up under the same scrutiny that pursued her her entire life.
That is why, as Max and his sister Emme prepare to enter university, she repeats just one idea to them: that a person’s worth is never defined by someone else’s comment.
The woman the world reduced to a body now teaches her son not to let himself be reduced to his.
