Jennifer Lopez TALKS about her daughter’s illness, which is suffering a lot

Jennifer Lopez, 54, has always been fiercely protective of her children, Emme and Max, whom she shares with ex-husband Marc Anthony.

Known for her strength and resilience, Lopez showed a vulnerable side as she discussed Emme’s illness and the impact it has had on their family.

“Emme has been going through a really tough time,” Lopez shared. “She’s suffering a lot, and as a mother, it’s the hardest thing to see your child in pain and feel helpless.”
