Jennifer Lopez referred to her child Emme with “they/them” pronouns while introducing the 14-year-old to a Los Angeles audience on Thursday. “I ask them to sing with me all the time but they won’t, so this is a very special occasion, because they’re very, very busy and booked and pricey,” the Grammy winner, 52, said while performing at the Dodgers Foundation’s Blue Diamond Gala. “They cost me when they come out.” “They’re worth every single penny because they’re my favorite duet partner of all time.
So if you would indulge me,” Lopez added. Lopez and her child later surprised fans with a duet of Christina Perri’s “A Thousand Years.” The “Let’s Get Loud” singer shares the 14-year-old and son Maximilian with her ex-husband Marc Anthony.
The teenage twins celebrated their birthday in February, with the actress telling her Instagram fans she’s “so grateful” to have them in her life. “You have taught me the true meaning of life and have changed me forever in the most amazing way,” the “Maid in Manhattan” star wrote at the time. “I only hope I can be half of the blessing you have been to my life.” The post Jennifer Lopez Receives Praise For Introducing Her Child Using They/Them Pronouns appeared first on The Gaily Grind.
