Jennifer Lopez will soon be shedding even more tears after revealing that her twins, Max and Emme, are going their separate ways.
The 56-year-old is not looking forward to becoming an empty nester once the 18-year-olds move out of the family home, but it will be a big change for them, too.
While Max and Emme attended different high schools, they still lived at home with their mom, but come the fall, the pair won't be living together at all.
Jennifer revealed during her appearance on Jimmy Kimmel Live on May 27 that Max and Emme have decided to go in different directions and attend separate colleges.
"I mean, it's fine," she said of their decision to split up. "I want them to be happy, she added. "Go where they want to go, do what they want to do."
She added that she "absolutely" plans to move them into their dorm rooms, regardless of whether her appearance causes a commotion.

"Then they're going to realize that their dorms are too small. They're going to miss home. I hope they want to come back real soon," she added.
Jennifer revealed that it was only recently that it hit her that her twins will be flying the nest.

"And then, like two months ago, I had to write the thing for the yearbook or whatever the heck thing they make you write. When I tell you, the tears. Two days it took me to write those things," she added.
Jennifer shares Max and Emme with her ex-husband, Marc Anthony. On February 22, they turned 18, and she penned a gushing tribute to them on Instagram.

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 wrote in part.
"'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!!

The Hustlers star concluded with: "Always remember, Lulu, you are my sunshine…and Max, you're amazing just the way you are!!"
