Jennifer Lopez whisked her twins Max and Emme off with her to Tokyo, Japan this week to celebrate their 16th birthday.
And the singer, 54 — whose new project is a major hit — gave fans a glimpse at the whirlwind trip as she honored their actual birthdate on Thursday, February 22.
She shares her kids with ex-husband and Latin superstar Marc Anthony, whom she was married to from 2004 to 2014.
‘Birthday trip 2024,’ captioned Lopez, who fondly refers to Emme and Max as her ‘coconuts.’
It appears that Jennifer’s husband Ben Affleck and her three stepchildren did not join her, Emme, Max and a few of their friends on the Tokyo trip.

Jennifer’s clip starts off with footage of the trio at the airport, with Emme — who uses they/them pronouns — telling their mom: ‘I don’t think I’ve ever seen myself so excited.’
The montage showed off all the fun things the birthday crew got up to this week.
Emme got a huge kick out of cuddling tiny pigs at the famous mipig cafe Meguro in Tokyo while their brother and his friends dined on authentic Japanese sushi.
The entire family took part in a traditional Japanese tea ceremony, with Jennifer appearing in a gorgeous aqua blue kimono.
They visited a psychedelic Tokyo art museum, where they posed for pictures in front of glowing orbs.
Jennifer enjoyed one 3D installation that created the illusion of being inside a kaleidoscope.
The On The Floor hitmaker also shared plenty of photos that she snapped throughout their adventures — including a sweet group photo with Max and Emme.
The twins were given large, silver 16th birthday balloons that sat at the head of their dinner table as they celebrated Thursday.
Jennifer showed off the pair’s custom birthday cake that was made of two different cakes connected by a bridge.

Jennifer has proved herself to be a doting mom since welcoming her twins in 2008.
And last year, the A-list star spoke candidly about the ‘guilt’ she carries for any negative impact her fame has had on Max and Emme.
She noted that ‘being the child of famous parents is really not something that many people can understand, and I feel for them for that because they didn’t choose that.’
Speaking to Audacy, the Selena star revealed, ‘I haven’t talked to them a lot about this but we have just started – they have just started letting me know, like, how people treat them and do things like that.’
Jennifer — who in 2022 introduced Emme onstage with gender-neutral pronouns — also held forth about the difficulty of seeing her children be ‘judged’ by strangers.
She acknowledged that her celebrity is on the forefront of people’s minds even when they meet her teenage children.
‘So when they walk into the room, THAT’s what people are thinking about, they’re not seeing them for who they are,’ said she.

‘And I think that that has to be a really hard thing for them, so I would love to have been able to protect them from that.’
The Jenny From The Block hitmaker explained that for Max and Emme, ‘being judged by people that you don’t even know in a way is, I think, really difficult for them to kind of grow up and be themselves.’
She added: ‘It’s just like they know that there’s a lens on them, and that’s hard. Probably not very relatable thing to say, ’cause a lot of people don’t understand it. They’re like: ‘Okay, so you’re famous and your kids are blah, blah, blah,’ right?’
Jennifer touchingly reflected: ‘But it is, it’s hard for them I think. I did that to them. And so that, you know, again, like, we have this guilt as moms, it’s like what we do and what we brought into their lives.’
Earlier in the interview she stated: ‘I’m not a traditional mom. I’m not a, you know, stay-at-home mom. I’m a single mom. I’m a working mom
‘I’m more than, in a way, I’m kind of a famous mom, which is a weird thing for kids too. So I have a whole set of things that is not normal, what people think of as not normal.’
This week’s Tokyo trip allowed Jennifer to get in some important family time before she heads off on tour this summer.
Jennifer’s This Is Me… Now Tour — in support of her new album of the same name — kicks off on June 26 in Orlando, Florida at the Kia Center.

This marks her comeback to touring after a five-year hiatus, following the 2019 tour that grossed over $50 million.
It then makes stops across North America in Los Angeles, Montreal, Nashville, and more before wrapping up in Houston, TX on August 31 at Toyota Center.
This Is Me…Now The Tour will showcase Lopez’s older hits along with new tracks from her latest album, This Is Me…Now.

Jennifer’s last big run of shows was her ‘It’s My Party Tour’ in 2019, when she played gigs in the US, Canada, Israel, Russia, Turkey, Spain, and Egypt.
She recently told Entertainment Tonight this could be her last ever album.

‘This Is Me… Now’ is a follow-up to 2002’s ‘This Is Me… Then’ — both of which are inspired by her now-husband Ben Affleck.
The couple famously called off their engagement in 2004 but rekindled their love 17 years later in May 2021.
They were engaged by April 2022 and married that July at a Las Vegas chapel.
