The reason why Jennifer Lopez feels guilty about being famous

Jennifer López is one of the best-known artists internationally, and her children know it. The New Yorker began her successful career decades ago, experimenting as an actress, singer, dancer, producer, and even designer. Her multifaceted attitude brought her to the top, something that her twins, Max and Emme, have unfortunately had to suffer.

Both children, the result of her marriage to singer Marc Anthony, have had to deal with fame from a very young age, something that has created a feeling of guilt in the artist. In her last statements to Audacy, the Puerto Rican admits: "I think that being the son of famous parents is not something that many people understand and I feel sorry for my children, because they have not chosen it."

Being the children of one of the most relevant artist couples on the music scene has its benefits, as well as its drawbacks: “People don't see them for who they are. I think this must be very difficult for them. So I would like to be able to protect them" confesses JLo, who also focuses on the treatment they receive from strangers: "Everyone has to deal with being harassed. No matter who you are, you can be harassed. But they know that they have the focus on themselves and it is complicated ”.

Despite feeling guilty for having caused this scenario in the lives of her children, Jennifer López decides to focus on the good: “You don't want them to feel pain, but that's not realistic. As time goes by and you mature, you realize that pain is necessary, it's good. Pain makes you feel like a warrior when you face it” confesses the artist.

Jennifer López and Marc Anthony became parents of the twins Max and Emme in 2008. After a highly controversial marriage, the couple divorced six years later, thus separating their paths. Last year, the artist bet again on love by going through the altar with the actor Ben Affleck, with whom she was already engaged in 2002.

In turn, Ben Affleck is the father of three children, the result of his marriage to actress Jennifer Gardner: Violet, 17, Seraphina, 14, and Samuel, eleven. Lopez and Affleck now share the upbringing of their children, so they have all moved in together, as confirmed by the artist on the Today show.
