It wasn’t the first time Emme Anthony, One of the two twins that Jennifer Lopez had with her husband between 2004 and 2011, fellow singer Marc Anthony, shared the stage with her mother. She did it during the epic performance of the Bronx and Shakira in the 2020 Super Bowl, after having premiered the previous year interpreting Limitless. However, the moments that she shared with Jennifer Lopez on stage on June 16 during a charity gala in Los Angeles have surpassed the previous performances in repercussion and interest for reasons that are quite different from purely interpretive ones.
The singer introduced her daughter using neuter pronouns (“they”, in the original in English) avoiding referring to his daughter in the feminine for the first time publicly. “The last time we performed together was in a stadium like this,” Jennifer Lopez began before the thousands of fans who recorded the moment with their mobiles. “I’ve asked her many times to sing with me, but she didn’t want to. So this is a very special occasion. She’s very busy,” the singer proclaimed, calling singing with Emme her “favorite duet of all time.” The 14-year-old appeared on stage wearing a fuchsia oversized shirt and pants set and wearing the colors of the LGBTIQ+ flag on her microphone.

She wants to be like her brothers. It’s like that. It was a surprise and it’s really interesting, but she’s much more than that, she’s funny, sweet and pretty,” said the actress normalizing the situation and showing your support.
In 2019, as published by various media, Shiloh began hormonal treatment to stop the physical changes typical of puberty and initiate an alleged gender transition that Angelina herself would have paid for. However, in recent months, The 15-year-old has been seen on different occasions betting on dresses and makeup, thus reviving the debate about her sexual identity. Neither her parents nor Shiloh herself have stated what gender identity she identifies with or if she still prefers to be referred to using the male pronoun as she requested a few years ago. A desire that she may or may not have mutated, since it has nothing to do with the aesthetic understood as feminine that she has worn in recent times.
