Jennifer Lopez returns to be talked about. This time with the contribution of daughter Emme, the twin born 14 years ago from the relationship with Marc Anthony; her brother is called Max. The girl’s singing talent is now well known: several times he has shown on stage that he has inherited his mother’s passion and skills. This time, however, mom and daughter made headlines for another reason: in introducing his daughter during a performance in Los Angeles the pop star she addressed her by calling her with the neuter pronouns they / them.
Jennifer Lopez is the neutral pronoun for her daughter
We are at the Los Angeles Dodgers Blue Diamond Gala. During the show JLo calls her daughter to the stage. But with words that have not gone unnoticed. “The last time we performed together was in a big stadium like this one,” says the singer, referring to her at the 2020 Super Bowl Halftime, when Emme accompanied her mom in the final part of the show. “Since then I have been asking them to sing with me but they didn’t“. “They,” then. And this the neuter pronoun, without any masculine or feminine referenceused by mom Jen for her Emme.
My favorite partner
“This is a special occasion,” continued the star, referring to her daughter. “They are very, very busy. Booked. And expensive. They cost me when they go out. But they’re worth every single penny because they’re my all time favorite duet partner“. Words that only a mother can speak to a daughter. At that point the little girl showed up on stage with a rainbow microphone and sang A Thousand Years by Christina Perri. And it became clear to all that “they” was referring to her daughter.

The neuter pronoun used by JLO
The neutral pronoun used by Jennifer Lopez could indicate, therefore, that the daughter does not identify with the traditional distinction of female and male gender. Emme, therefore, would be non-binary. But the artist’s move could also be a reference to Pride Month. In fact, June is the month dedicated to the Lgbtq + community and the colored microphone held in Emme’s hands leaves no doubt. Contacted by CNNthe singer has not made any statements.
