Jennifer Lopez is feeling emotional about her kids leaving the nest.
On the latest episode of Jimmy Kimmel Live!, released Wednesday, May 27, the singer and actress, 56, revealed she’s been crying as her 18-year-old twins Max and Emme, whom she shares with her ex-husband, Marc Anthony, prepare for college.
“Tomorrow one of them graduates [high school],” she told host Jimmy Kimmel.
Lopez then joked, “Don’t talk about it cause we start crying.”
Asked if she’d cry at the ceremony, the “If You Had My Love” artist replied, “Yeah.”
“I’ve been crying for two months,” she continued.
Kimmel then jokingly asked, “Will you look around at the other parents and see who’s not crying and think, ‘I love my children more than they do?’ ”

Falling into laughter, Lopez replied, “No. I think all the parents are going to be crying at some point.”
Speaking about whether it was inconvenient that her children attend different schools, the proud mom said, “It’s fine. I want them to be happy, go where they want to go and do what they want to do.”
Lopez also revealed that they would be going to different colleges.
“I wonder because there’s a commotion everywhere you go, will you be able to move them into their dorms?,” Kimmel asked, to which Lopez replied, “Absolutely.”

“You’ll go to Target with them and buy them sheets?” Kimmel continued lightheartedly.
Lopez then added, “Yeah, we have sheets at the house. We’re gonna pack up their rooms here and they’re going to take all the things they want to take to their dorm.”
The Kiss of the Spider Woman actress joked that her twins would then realize “their dorms are too small and that they’re going to miss home, I hope, and want to come back real soon!”
However, Lopez went on to say that she remembers being excited to go out into the world and “do my thing” at Max and Emme’s ages.
She then recalled that people would ask her about her twins leaving for college, adding that she’d reply, “It’s going to be great. I want them to go out there, I want them to do what they want to do. They have big dreams. They have things they want to do. It’s going to be great.”
“And then like two months ago, I had to write the little thing for the yearbook or whatever the heck thing that they make you write,” she continued. “When I tell you the tears. Two days, it took me to write those things.”
Kimmel asked, “Do you write two different things, or since they’re twins, you just put the same thing?”
“No, Jimmy, no. They’re two different people,” Lopez laughed.
