Jennifer Lopez could not have been prouder. In an interview with Extra, the 56-year-old singer and actress said that her 18-year-old twins Emme and Max applied to exactly five universities and were accepted to all of them. Not only that: each one received a scholarship from every institution. 🌟
The detail that set social media ablaze was precisely that: the scholarships. Because they are academic, merit-based scholarships and not based on financial need. And when people remembered that the twins are the children of one of the wealthiest artists in the world, opinions split in two. “Those scholarships should go to those who really need them”, some wrote. Others argued that effort is effort, regardless of last name or bank account. 💭
What few expected is that, in addition to the debate, the story hides another twist: Emme, who appears identified as Oskar Muñiz in posts that have since been deleted, chose Sarah Lawrence College in New York to study theater and performing arts. Both twins have ADHD, something JLo has mentioned publicly with great pride. “I’ve been crying for two months”, she confessed on Jimmy Kimmel Live! ahead of her children’s imminent departure. 🎭❤️
