Jen Shares a Heartfelt Moment
Jennifer Lopez took to Instagram to share a poignant photo that captured Marc Anthony surrounded by six of his seven children. This included their nine-year-old twins, Max and Emme, along with Marc’s 16-year-old son Cristian and 13-year-old son Ryan, whom he shares with ex-wife Dayanara Torres. Also present was his 23-year-old daughter Ariana, whom he shares with his former girlfriend Debbie Rosado. Notably absent from the photo was the couple’s adopted son, Chase.
In her caption, Jen, now 48, expressed her heartfelt sentiments, writing, “Just what the doctor ordered…Surrounded by love.” She also included a touching message to her former mother-in-law in Spanish, which translates to, “Rest in peace, Ginny. We are going to miss you.”
