Why Jennifer Lopez Feels 'Guilty' That Her Twins Are Growing Up With Famous Parents

If being a celebrity is hard, being the child of a celebrity has to be even harder. At least, that's the lesson Jennifer Lopez says her twins have learned. Things have to be even more challenging when you consider that the 15-year-olds live with the most famous couple in the world.

"I think being the child of famous parents is not something many people can understand, and I feel for [my kids] for that because they didn't choose that," she revealed.
SHE SAYS SHE WASN'T AWARE UNTIL RECENTLY JUST HOW DIFFERENTLY PEOPLE WERE TREATING THE TWINS.
Jennifer shares Emme and Maximilian with ex-husband Marc Anthony, who she was married to from 2004 to 2014.

"[Others are] not seeing them for who they are," Jennifer continued. "And I think that has to be a really hard thing for them. So I would love to be able to protect them from that."

In addition to shielding them from that, she says she also wishes she could do something about them "being judged" by strangers.
HOWEVER, JENNIFER THINKS THAT ALL OF THIS IS CHARACTER BUILDING.

"The pain is necessary. The pain is actually good," she said on Thursday's show.

"The pain kind of makes you feel a little bit like a warrior when you get through it." Here's hoping her kids feel the same way!

Both Emme and Max spend a lot of time with their stepsiblings now that their mom and Ben are married. We're sure 17-year-old Violet, 14-year-old Seraphina, and 11-year-old Samuel can commiserate on what it's like to be the children of superstars.
AT LEAST THEY KNOW A FEW OTHER KIDS WHO ARE IN THE SAME BOAT.
