Jennifer Lopez speaks out after making rare appearance with her kid Emme

Jennifer Lopez has issued a seven-word statement on the high-profile evening she and her child Emme spent together on Broadway.

On March 23, a slew of celebrities barrelled down to New York City to support the opening of Othello.

The Shakespearian adaptation is a limited engagement starring two-time Academy winner Denzel Washington and Jarhead’s Jake Gyllenhaal.

Directed by Kenny Leon, Othello has reportedly already grossed $2.8 million in a week, as per People, with a possible film adaptation in the works.

Those attending the Broadway play’s opening night included Freaky Friday’s Jamie Lee Curtis, Colman Domingo and Jennifer Lopez.

The latter, aged 55, strutted her stuff on the red carpet with her 17-year-old child Emme Muñiz.

Emme, whom the ‘Jenny from the Block’ singer shares with her ex-husband Marc Anthony, 56, was introduced by their mother using gender-neutral pronouns at the Los Angeles Dodgers Foundation's Blue Diamond Gala in June 2022.

Taking to Instagram, the Hustlers actor shared a series of snaps and videos taken of her and her offspring ahead of the theatre premiere.

In one photograph, a stylist could be seen touching up Jennifer’s hair, while in another she posed with her arm around Emme, who was wearing a striped two-piece suit for the occasion.

“Othello premiere with the best date ever,” the mother-of-two wrote alongside the carousel.

Thousands of fans and celebrities have poured into Jennifer’s comments section to have their say on the duo, with Andy Cohen writing: “Best date!”

“This glam is incredible,” said another Instagram user.

Someone else replied: “You look so gorgeous! And the last slide! Still your baby at 17! Not many Mamas can say that!”

“Look at how yall ate that up,” responded a third fan.

During her child’s red carpet debut, J-Lo reportedly went full ‘mama bear’ with the paparazzi, according to a new report.

A source allegedly told Page Six that when she and Emme exited the Ethel Barrymore Theater, a huge camera was shoved in the teen’s face.

“[Lopez] yelled at the guy. She went mama bear,” the source told the publication.

Last month, Jennifer marked Emme and their twin Max’s seventeenth birthday by posting a sweet montage video with her 248 million Instagram followers.

“Seventeen. I love you beyond forever,” she commented, followed by two coconut Emojis.

During an appearance on The Tonight Show With Jay Leno, Jennifer explained that she and her ex began calling their children ‘coconuts’ when they were little.

“When they were little and in their cribs and they started growing hair, they looked like coconuts. It just stuck.”

In the same interview, the music mogul added that she’d once been given a necklace with two coconuts engraved with the twins’ initials as a Christmas present.
