J.Lo's Ex-Husband Marc Anthony Just Shared an Adorable Photo with Their Daughter
It was the moment seen 'round the world: Jennifer Lopez and Alex Rodriguez got engaged with a multi-million dollar diamond ring when the former MLB player proposed during their vacation in the Bahamas.
But even before they vowed to become husband and wife, the two had already managed to seamlessly blend their families. Lopez has two kids, 11-year-old twins Maximillian David and Emme Maribel, with ex-husband Marc Anthony, who she's now raising with Rodriguez's two daughters, 14-year-old Natasha and 10-year-old Ella, whom he shares with ex-wife Cynthia Rodriguez.
That blending didn't happen overnight, however. When Lopez and Rodriguez first started dating in 2017, they made sure to take time before introducing their kids to each other, she told People in 2018.
"I was so loving to his kids and he was so loving and accepting of mine, and they embraced each other right away. [It was] 'I get a new bonus brother and sisters to hang out with all the time and it's nice,'" she said. "Our kids have become best friends and that keeps us both grounded and appreciative. We couldn't have asked for anything better than the four of them getting along as they do," Rodriguez added.
Now that their wish (and ours) to become one is coming true, it's time to bask in the glory that is the soon-to-be Lopez-Rodriguez familia with some adorable pictures of their kids.
Yes, Marc Anthony is still present in Emme and Max's lives.
In December, the Latin singer took to Instagram to share a cute family photo of himself with Lopez and their daughter, Emme. "Nothing but love between us," he captioned the family photo, proving that this squad has surely figured out how to successfully blend their families.
Nothing but love between us. @jlo

Lopez has officially kicked off her It's My Party tour and her and Rodriguez's kids are joining in on the fun. During her first performance in L.A., Lopez even had her daughter, Emme, come up on stage for a duet of "Limitless."
When Rodriguez is away, he reminds us how much he misses J.Lo and her kids.

Since Rodriguez is a sports commentator and analyst for Fox Sports during baseball season, he's always on the road. This is just one example of the pictures he posts when he's away from his family.
Rodriguez and Lopez always come out to support their kids.

When Rodriguez's daughter Natasha graduated from middle school, Lopez and her kids posed for a picture with Rodriguez, his ex-wife, and her new husband.

Just like other parents, Rodriguez takes part in school drop-offs from time to time.

Last year, the Rodriguez-Lopez crew took a break from their busy schedules for a vacation to Idaho.
Celebrating important holidays together is a given.

Look at how happy Ella, Emme, Max, Natasha, Jennifer, and Alex look enjoying Father's Day last year.

The only person missing from this sweet snap is Max.

All of them enjoy a baseball game.

Lopez and Rodriguez took their kids to enjoy a Saturday afternoon baseball game at A-Rod's old home away from home, Yankee Stadium. He was with the New York Yankees for 10 years as third baseman.
Together they rang in 2018 on a beach in Malibu, California.

Lopez and Rodriguez spent the end of last year as an adorable blended family.
According to Rodriguez, these are his queens.

We couldn't agree more with Rodriguez's caption "#thefutureisfemale."
Smiles all around for Rodriguez's ladies.

One can only wonder what Lopez, Emme, Natasha, and Ella were laughing at.
This could be a holiday card, just saying.
A post shared by Alex Rodriguez (@arod) on Mar 15, 2018 at 9:33am PDT
Just picture being lucky enough to get a holiday card from Lopez or Rodriguez in the mail with this happy family picture.
Lopez calls her twins "coconuts."
A post shared by Jennifer Lopez (@jlo) on Feb 22, 2016 at 11:00am PST
Every year the twins get older, the 49-year-old super star posts a tribute to them.
And just like Lopez, her twins like to dance.

Look at them on the floor during Kris Jenner's 2015 annual Christmas party!
The "coconuts" definitely like getting into the holiday spirit.
A post shared by Jennifer Lopez (@jlo) on Dec 17, 2015 at 1:07pm PST
Here, the two look ready to spend that Christmas money.
J Lo's kids like to be fun, too.
Party time!!! HAPPY 7th BIRTHDAY TO THE COCONUTS!! #thesetwoknowhowtoparty #twins #LOVE #familia

And they're definitely a mix of both Anthony or Lopez.
And Max and Emme are fashion icons in the making.
A post shared by Jennifer Lopez (@jlo) on Dec 9, 2016 at 8:17pm PST
Like Lopez's caption suggests, their style is on 1000.
Clearly, Lopez and Emme enjoy using filters like the rest of us.

A perfect mother-daughter moment between these two ladies.
And mom loves showing off how proud she is of her kids.
So proud of my babies... #notbabiesanymore #4thgrade #love
A post shared by Jennifer Lopez (@jlo) on Sep 7, 2017 at 8:10am PDT
It's no wonder she couldn't help but share a picture of their first day of fourth grade.
There's no doubt Emme has Lopez's eyes.
Me and this beautiful lil marshmallow... #shesstillacoconut #mamasbabygirl #luckyme

Can we take a minute to appreciate Emme's swag? She got it from her mama, after all.
And both kids love coming to work with her.
Oooohhh yeaaaahhhh... #coconutsandwich #mybabies #LOVE
A post shared by Jennifer Lopez (@jlo) on Jan 21, 2017 at 5:34pm PST
Lopez took a break from recording to share this loving moment with her daughter and son.
And, of course, Lopez loves to put her makeup skills to work on Emme.
Mamá makeup duties...#happyhalloween🎃👻

Considering the beauty queen has a makeup line with Inglot, it makes sense that Lopez could do Emme's lion makeup for Halloween.
