Global superstar Jennifer Lopez is being praised after referring to her 14-year-old child Emme by they/them pronouns while introducing them on stage during a recent performance at Dodger Stadium.
Via Page Six:
“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.”
The songwriter continued using gender-neutral pronouns, adding, “They’re worth every single penny because they’re my favorite duet partner of all time. So if you would indulge me.”
Lopez and her child subsequently wowed fans with a duet of Christina Perri’s “A Thousand Years.”
Emme paired their hot pink shirt and shorts with a black hat and matching shoes, while their mom rocked a turquoise set and a feathered robe.
The “Let’s Get Loud” singer shares the 14-year-old and son Maximilian with her ex-husband Marc Anthony.
I think this is truly awesome. I had seen some recent photos of Emme, and had wondered if they were a part of the LGBTQ community because Inhad started to notice the signs. And if I'm not mistaken, JLo' s sister Leslie also has a child that uses gender-neutral pronouns.
I always think it's great when kids know who they are and are brave enough to cone to terms with who they are at a young age.
