Jennifer Lopez praised for pronouns she used when introducing her child Emme

After J.Lo rightfully corrected a photographer who invaded the space of her non-binary child this weekend, fans of the singer have been reminded of the pronouns that the 17-year-old prefers to use.

In 2022, the mother-of-two was showered in praise following a performance at the annual Blue Diamond Gala at Dodger Stadium, Los Angeles, during which she brought her teenager out onto the stage.

At the time, Lopez surprised viewers by introducing Emme - with whom she has previously performed during concerts - using they/them pronouns. As the youngster approached the platform, the 55-year-old declared: "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."

The Maid In Manhattan actress went on to jibe: "They are very, very busy, booked and pricey.

"They cost me when they come out. But they’re worth every single penny because they’re my favourite duet partner of all time.

"So, if you will indulge me."

Footage of the sweet interaction went viral at the time, with many praising the star - who is also mother to Emme's twin brother, Max - for her acceptance of her child's preferred pronouns.

"Jlo, you are a wonderful mother and you both sang beautifully," one onlooker gushed on X (formerly Twitter) at the time.

Another pointed out: "'They' is how Emme identifies. This was JLo sharing that information, it's beautiful to see her supporting her child."

"Awww JLo respecting the pronouns," a third added, as another went on: "Aw I love her support."

The 'Jenny From The Block' singer shares her children with ex-husband Marc Anthony - to whom she was married to between 2004 and 2014.

J.Lo lashed out at a photographer to disrespected Emme over the weekend

As we say, more recently, Lopez clocked a photographer for disrespecting Emme's boundaries on the red carpet of the Broadway premiere of Othello on Sunday (23 Mar).

A source told Page Six that the musician was in full 'mama bear' mode when a photographer crowded them as they were exiting the Ethel Barrymore Theatre, using a 'huge' paparazzi camera.

After the lens was supposedly shoved in the teenager’s face, Lopez allegedly popped off.

"[Lopez] yelled at the guy. She went mama bear," the insider told the publication.

Tyla contacted Jennifer Lopez's representatives for comment on the matter.

Despite the outburst, however, the pair seemingly enjoyed their night on the town, with Lopez later sharing a sweet snap alongside Emme on Instagram. "Othello premiere with the best date ever," she captioned the photo.
