Jennifer Lopez's twins Max and Emme are all grown up as they celebrate a milestone birthday.
On Sunday (February 22), the "On the Floor" singer, 56, shared a heartwarming video tribute to her "wonder twins," whom she shares with ex-husband Marc Anthony, on Instagram in honor of their 18th birthday. Set to One Direction's "18," the video ran through clips and snapshots of the three of them through the years, from adorable moments with the twins as babies to celebrations backstage and happy moments spent together.
The Kiss of the Spider Woman actress also penned a lengthy heartfelt letter to her two "coconuts," reflecting on how she knew they were special from the moment they were born.
"When I would hold you as infants, I honestly felt as if I were holding two angels sent straight from heaven above. My life was changed forever. I cannot believe you are now adults... 18 years old!" she wrote in the caption. "You are both so kind-hearted, generous, and loving. How lucky the world was on this day 18 years ago when God decided to send you here with all of your talents and spirit and heart to make this world a better place, because that is what you do for me and anyone who is lucky enough to know you both every day."
She continued, "'I love you' could never encapsulate the depth of feeling, affection, and care that I have for you, my coconuts. It has always been the three of us!! We have been on this journey together. We have always had each other to hold on to and be that steady presence in the middle of any snowstorm. And I promise you, my beautiful coconuts, no matter how big you get, that's how it will always be."
Lopez concluded with a special message for each of her kids, writing, "Always remember Lulu, you are my sunshine...and Max, you're amazing just the way you are!! I love you I love you Happy 18th Birthday, my wonder twins!!"
Last month, Lopez shared how she really feels about her children entering the next chapter of their lives as they prepare to go to college.
"People have come in and out of my life, but it really has just been the three of us," she said. "And to see how they're kind of like thriving right now and the adults, the young adults that they're growing into, and they're so ready for their life. They're so ready to get out there and I remember what that felt like [at] 18."
