Jennifer Lopez spent some quality time with her kids on Tuesday ahead of her plans to join Kamala Harris on the campaign trail later this week.
The superstar, 55, was spotted dutifully picking up her 16-year-old twins Emme and Max from two different places in Culver City, after school, amid her busy schedule.
The mother-of-two opted to wear a zip-up hoodie and her long brown hair in a sleek bun as she ran errands while getting chauffeured by a man driving a black Escalade.
Earlier this week, it was confirmed that the singer would be joining the Democratic presidential nominee at her 'When We Vote We Win' rally in Nevada on Halloween.
According to Deadline, she will 'speak on the importance of voting, what’s at stake for the country with this election and why she is endorsing Harris and Governor Tim Walz.'

The pop band, Maná, will perform at the rally.
Lopez, a strong advocate for civic engagement, reportedly hopes to inspire voters with her upcoming appearance alongside Harris as Election Day nears.
Ahead of the 2024 presidential election on Tuesday, November 5th, Lopez has used her social platforms to encourage her fans to make their voices heard at the ballots.
'When we all vote we can determine the direction of our country and create a better future for our community. Your vote is your voice and your power,' she said in a video uploaded to her Instagram earlier this month.
She continued: 'Our voices are louder together. But the only way your voice can be heard is if you’re registered to vote.'
Last week, the On the Floor hitmaker posted a cheeky video of herself singing that everyone needs to 'get your a** and vote.'
Her upcoming appearance at Harris' Thursday night rally comes after former President Donald Trump's controversial Madison Square Garden rally.
At Trump's event, comedian Tony Hinchcliffe called Puerto Rico a 'floating island of garbage' - prompting widespread backlash from the community.

After Hinchcliffe's set went viral, Lopez doubled down on that support in her Instagram story.
Both her mom and dad, Guadalupe Rodríguez and David Lopez, were born in Puerto Rico.
On Thursday, Lopez and Harris willshare a stage together in state that Democrats fear is slipping away - with FiveThirtyEight.com saying Tuesday that Trump has a 51 percent chance of winning the state and Harris a 49 percent chance.
A CNN/SSRS poll released Tuesday showed Trump with 48 percent of the support of likely voters in Nevada and Harris with 47 percent.
Earlier this week, it was confirmed that the star would be joining the Democratic presidential nominee at her 'When We Vote We Win' rally in Nevada on Halloween
According to Deadline , she will 'speak on the importance of voting, what’s at stake for the country with this election and why she is endorsing Harris and Governor Tim Walz'
The last time Nevada voted for a Republican in the presidential race was 2004, however President Joe Biden only won the state by 33,596 votes.
While Hinchcliffe's comments could do far more damage to the Trump campaign in Pennsylvania - where nearly half a million Puerto Ricans live - around 27,000 live in Nevada.
Hinchcliffe also made a more broadly racist jokes about Latinos - which could damage Trump's prospects in Nevada.
The 2020 census put the number of Latinos in Nevada at 890,257 - or 28.7 percent.

'These Latinos, they love making babies, too. Just know that they do,' Hinchcliffe had said at the MSG rally. 'There's no pulling out.'
'They don't do that. They come inside. Just like they did to our country,' he added.
Despite Trump's hardline stance on immigration - and pledge for the largest deportation of illegal immigrants in U.S. history - his campaign had been making inroads with Latino voters.
Like Lopez, Puerto Rico stars, Bad Bunny and Ricky Martin, have also publicly endorsed Harris.

Throughout her campaign, Harris has also received an outpour of support from Oscar winners, Grammys superstars and musical icons, including from Taylor Swift, Charli XCX, Bruce Springsteen, George Clooney and Eminem, who made a guest appearance at one of the Democrat's campaign rallies in Michigan alongside Barack Obama.
Meanwhile, public figures, like Kanye West, Dennis Quaid, Elon Musk, Kansas City Chief kicker, Harrison Butker, Russell Brand, Savannah Chrisley, Kelsey Grammar, Hulk Hogan and Kid Rock, have said they are voting for Trump.
