Jennifer Lopez’s kids are getting to know their mom’s acting work.
The “On the Floor” singer, 53, recently sat down withToday, where she shared which of her films her 14-year-old twinsMax and Emmehave seen.
“They’ve watchedMaid in ManhattanandThe Wedding Planner, funnily enough,” Lopez said. “They haven’t gotten into like,Out of Sight. They sawSelena.”
While the twins knew their mom portrayedSelena Quintanilla-Pérez, the late Queen of Tejano Music, they weren’t familiar with her story — particularly, that it ended with her tragic death.

Seeing the twins' reaction to the film’s ending was “kind of sweet,” Lopez admitted. “Because I don’t think they realized that she passed away. And so, at the end of the movie, they were like, ‘Nooooooooooo!'”
But she never meant to surprise the twins, who she shares with ex-husbandMarc Anthony.
“I was like, ‘Oh, my God, I thought you knew!'” Lopez explained, laughing at the moment.
Last month, Lopez opened up about her holiday festivities in the latest installment of herOn the JLonewsletter, in which she noted that shecelebrated Christmas this year with Ben Affleck and their “blended families.”

Affleck is dad to sonSamuel, 10, and daughtersSeraphina, 14, and Violet, 17, who he shares with exJennifer Garner.
“We have blended families, doubled the people, doubled the fun, doubled the love, doubled the presents and tripled the chaos!!” Lopez wrote.
“For the past 8 years we’ve been doing a Christmas Edition Taco Tuesday, where we get together and dress up and sing Christmas carols. During the pandemic that went to the wayside, so this was the first time in a long time we were able to get together with people that we haven’t seen in forever,” she continued.
Adding, “The party was filled with family, friends, colleagues, and people we’ve known from over the years. We sang and danced and had the most amazing time!”
