Before a moving mother-son duet during a performance at Dodger Stadium in Los Angeles, Jennifer Lopez introduced one of her twins, 14-year-old Emme Muñiz, using gender-neutral pronouns.
Muñiz joined Lopez, 52, for a performance of Christina Perri’s A Thousand Years at the Los Angeles Dodgers Foundation’s Blue Diamond Gala on Thursday.
“The last time we performed together was in a big stadium like this,” Lopez said. “I ask them to sing with me all the time, and they won’t. So this is a very special occasion. “
The couple previously performed together during the 2020 Super Bowl half-time show in 2020.

Lopez referred to his son as “my favorite duet partner of all time” and joked that Muñiz was “very, very busy, reserved and expensive.”
