Jennifer Lopez had a dazzling night out with her 17-year-old child, Emme, as they attended the star-studded Broadway premiere of Othello in New York City. The event took place on Sunday, March 23, at the iconic Barrymore Theatre, and the duo looked effortlessly stylish as they walked the red carpet together, radiating confidence and warmth.
Lopez, always a fashion icon, turned heads in a sophisticated deep navy two-piece ensemble designed by Zuhair Murad Couture. Meanwhile, Emme, whom Lopez shares with her ex-husband, singer Marc Anthony, opted for a chic and modern look, rocking a grey pinstripe suit complemented by elegant drop earrings. Throughout the night, the proud mother kept a gentle, affectionate hand on Emme’s shoulder as they posed for photographers, showing the close bond they share.
The On the Floor singer also gave her fans a glimpse of their glamorous evening through an Instagram Story. Seated in the back of a car, she excitedly announced, “I have the most amazing date for the premiere of Othello, the black-tie premiere of Othello, here in New York tonight.” She then turned the camera to Emme, who happily waved, making Lopez laugh at their shared enthusiasm.
The highly anticipated Broadway production of Othello, directed by Kenny Leon, boasts a powerhouse cast, with Denzel Washington in the title role and Jake Gyllenhaal as the cunning Iago. The premiere attracted an A-list crowd, including Hollywood heavyweights like Samuel L. Jackson, Jamie Lee Curtis, Ariana DeBose, Rosie Perez, Martha Stewart, and Spike Lee, adding to the electric atmosphere of the night.
Beyond the glitz and glamour, Lopez recently took a heartfelt trip down memory lane to celebrate Emme and twin brother Max’s 17th birthday on February 23. She posted a touching video montage on Instagram, filled with personal moments—behind-the-scenes snippets from photoshoots, fun-filled family vacations, and intimate at-home clips. The video was set to Miley Cyrus’ Edge of Midnight and included a sweet caption that read, “Seventeen. I love you beyond forever.”
Reflecting on her journey as a mother, Lopez opened up in a December 2024 interview with Entertainment Weekly about the struggles and doubts she has faced over the years. She admitted that there were moments when she questioned whether she was enough for her children, especially during times when she was raising them as a single mom. However, she ultimately realized that what truly matters is providing unconditional love and support.
Lopez was married to Marc Anthony for ten years before their divorce in 2014. She later rekindled her romance with actor Ben Affleck, but reports suggest that their relationship recently came to an end.
