At the time, her 11-year-old child sat in the cage on the enormous stage. And though it might appear scary to outsiders, Lopez explained how she helped Emme feel safe. “I wanted Emme to sit in the cage, putting her on that big stage, although it would seem scary for a lot of people, she doesn’t feel nervous because she’s next to me,” explained Jennifer.

Chatting with social media, Jennifer revealed how she helped Emme to become emotionally strong. And she told her child, “You look right down that camera and you tell every little girl in the world to get loud and to never, ever back down. And it was important.”

However, the singer/actress also valued her heritage. “And I wanted to come out, after she did that, draped in the American flag, because I’m proud to be an American,” emphasized Lopez. “But also I am not just American. I’m also Puerto Rican. And I wanted the flip side of that to be a Puerto Rican flag.”

And Jennifer also shared her special pride in Emme. Honoring her teen’s desire to change pronouns, Lopez believes that Emme has authenticated her true self. And the two recently showed their bond spending time at Ben Affleck’s film set, reported the Daily Mail.

And Jennifer also joked about how busy her teenager has become. “The last time we performed together was in a big stadium like this and I ask them to sing with me all the time, and they won’t. So this is a very special occasion. They are very, very busy. Booked. And pricey,” she teased about Emme. “They cost me when they come out. But they’re worth every single penny because they’re my favorite duet partner of all time. So if you will indulge me,” Lopez asked her child. In addition to Emme, Jennifer shares Max with her ex-husband Marc Anthony, 53.
