“The thing is, roaming the world for the past 30 years,” he explained, “understanding what quality is and what people expect whether it's a concert, whether it's a stadium, whether it's an arena its understanding what people expect, as far as entertainment, because they pay hard earned money to come and experience something. And that is what we what we bring to the table, the nuances of it.”

"I think kids are like kind of wrapped up in their own lives a bit, but if you ask them, they will give you their honest opinion about everything, you know what I mean?" the “Can’t Get Enough” singer shared in January. "They're ready to be brutally honest with you at times."

Max has his own special interests. He's exploring what he loves. He gets to be himself. What parenting advice does Anthony have? He's learned a few things. And his insights are super valuable.
Jennifer Lopez added, “I like my kids to see my work and know what I'm doing. And I'll share certain things with them and say, 'What do you think of this?' or 'What do you think of that?' And they always have an interesting perspective, because they're from a different generation."
Talking to teenagers can be tough. Anthony stresses the importance of communication. Trust matters a lot. It helps build strong connections with your kids.
It's cool to be yourself. Anthony knows that. He encourages his kids to embrace their unique talents. College? Careers? Who knows! Max and Emme have their whole lives ahead. It will be fun to see what they do.
