Jennifer Lopez threw shade at ex-husband Marc Anthony over his alleged lack of “help” when it came to raising their twins, Emme and Max.
During an appearance on the “SmartLess” podcast Monday, the “Selena” actress got candid about how “emotional” she’s become as her 18-year-old kids prepare to head to college.
“It’s crazy. And now I can really look at my life, appreciate it for what it is and what I’ve created for myself and be really happy,” she told hosts Jason Bateman, Sean Hayes and Will Arnett.
“And both my kids got into all their colleges and they both got scholarships and they’re going where they want to go,” Lopez, 56, added.
“It’s just … I was like, ‘You did that s–t all by yourself.’ That’s great. Like, ‘You had very little help,’ you know?”
Page Six has reached out to Anthony for comment but did not immediately hear back.
Lopez’s comments come nearly a month after the “Vivir Mi Vida” singer, 57, appeared to skip Emme’s high school graduation.
The “I’m Real” songstress and her ex Ben Affleck’s son, Samuel, attended the Los Angeles ceremony, at which Emme debuted a new name, “Oskar Muñiz.”
Anthony also wasn’t seen at Max’s high school graduation ceremony earlier this month.
The four-time Grammy winner and the “Office Romance” star were married from 2004 to 2014.
They welcomed their twins in February 2008.
In March, Lopez detailed her “really tough” divorce from Anthony.
“After my third divorce, that’s when I really started getting good at it,” the two-time Grammy nominee joked during her Las Vegas residency show at the time.
“Seriously, that’s not funny,” she continued, before explaining that “it was actually a really tough time.”
Lopez said she was “really about to give up on it all” as she struggled as a “single mom” of two then-3-year-old twins.
The pop star said she called her mentor Louise Hay, who helped her through the tough time.
“She said to me, ‘Jennifer, you’re a dancer, right?’” she recalled. “I said, ‘Yes, I am.’ And she said, ‘When you’re learning a dance, and you get the steps wrong, what do you do?’ I said, ‘I just keep going until I get the steps right.’ And she said, ‘That’s right, Jennifer. Always keep dancing.’”
The “Enough” actress was married three other times: to Cuban waiter Ojani Noa from 1997 to 1998; to dancer Cris Judd from 2001 to 2003; and to Ben Affleck from 2022 to 2025. She is currently single.
Meanwhile, Anthony has been married to Nadia Ferreira since 2023. The 27-year-old model is currently pregnant with the salsa hitmaker’s eighth child.
