The $18 million Hidden Hills home becomes an empty nest

Jennifer Lopez's emotional high school graduation moment with son Max Muniz, as family navigates transition and new beginnings.

As the twins, Max and Oskar,prepare to leave their family home in Hidden Hills, Jennifer Lopez is facing a bittersweet milestone.. The $18 million estate, purchased after her divorce from her fourth husband, has been the family's home for many years.

Earlier in the week, Lopez openly admitted to fighting back tears at the thought of her children moving out on 'Jimmy Kimmel Live!'. She confessed she had been 'crying for two months' about it and anticipated more tears at the graduations.

Supporting Oskar's transition

The graduation ceremony was a family affair, with grandparents Guadalupe and David Lopez, and her long-time manager Benny Medina also in attendance. Max embraced a casual celebratory look with a tie-dye shirt, matching Nike trainers, and several leis.

Oskar, who had already graduated from a different high school, wore a red polo shirt and blue slacks, while Lopez herself chose a floral print dress,a Birkin bag, and tan heels.

This graduation is particularly significant given the family's recent public journey. The twins' father, Marc Anthony, did not attend the ceremony.

A family moment intertwined with Oskar's journey

The event followed a public announcement that Oskar, formerly known as Emme, now uses the name Oskar Muniz and identifies as a transgender male, going by 'he'. This information was revealed on a university program viewed by The Daily Mail.

Lopez had previously hinted at this transition, introducing Oskar as 'they' during a 2022 performance when the child was 14, indicating a nonbinary identification at that time.

The graduation therefore marks another step in Oskar's personal journey, celebrated with family support.

A new chapter for the Lopez family

The celebration unfolded against the backdrop of a major life change for the entire family. The twins' upcoming departure for college has been a source of profound sadness for Lopez.

Despite the emotional challenge, Lopez expressed full support for her children's individual paths, including their decision to attend separate high schools.

She spoke about helping them pack and move into their dorms, joking that they would realize the dorms are too small and miss home.
