Jennifer Lopez gushed about her nearly four-year old twins, Max and Emme with estranged husband Marc Anthony while on The Tonight Show with Jay Leno on Monday night.

“The twins are so good, they’re about to turn four. They’re my coconuts, that comes from when they were little and in their cribs and started growing hair, it looked just like a coconut to me, they both look like coconuts.

“I have this beautiful necklace which was given to me at Christmas, there are two coconuts and their initials on it.”

JLo also recalled her advice received from then mentor Sean Diddy Combs,

‘He did say one thing to me that was funny, I was recording music for my first album and I played a song for him and said, ‘What do you think’ and he said, ‘I hate it. It’s not good, it won’t be a hit,’ and I said, ‘I love it’, standing up for myself,’ and he said, ‘Good, you can listen to it in your living room because you’re the only one.’

The American Idol judge remained mum on her boyfriend Casper Smart during her sit down with Jay Leno though she did reveal in a previous interview she felt picked on by the media.

Independent journalism still matters.

We hope this story was worth your time. For over 14 years, Atlanta Black Star has stayed Black-owned and independently run. We didn't get here by waiting on ad budgets that were never built to prioritize us. Our readers did that.

Corporate support for Black media has always been thin. Outlets like ours get roughly 1% of the $170 billion spent on U.S. advertising each year, and that margin is shrinking further as advertisers walk back the DEI-linked commitments they made in 2020. That's the backdrop. It's not why we're asking.

The wider picture isn't any steadier. Newspaper ad revenue has fallen more than 80% since 2005, and local newsrooms are closing at a rate of roughly two a week nationwide. When outlets go under, it's rarely the ones built to center a Black perspective from the ground up that get to stick around.

We know a request for support isn't why you came here. But without readers choosing to fund this work directly, the depth of reporting we can do at home and abroad shrinks along with everyone else's. If you're not in a position to give, that doesn't change how much we value you as a reader.

If you are able to, a recurring contribution does more for us than a single one-time gift, because it lets us plan the next investigation instead of just the next invoice. It takes about 30 seconds, no long form, no account. Thank you for continuing to support independent journalism and freedom of the press.
