Who could forget watching J.Lo’s daughter Emme Muñiz — who was only 11 years old at the time —steal the spotlightat the Super Bowl LIV with a rendition of her mom’s hit “Let’s Get Loud”?
“She has that gene, the gene that’s like I’m comfortable up here,” Lopez told Jimmy Fallon on an episode ofThe Tonight Show. “I think she gets amped, like excited, but like a cute excited, like I wish I felt more like her.”
As the daughter of Lopez and Marc Anthony, a future in the music industry is certainly an option for Emme — but neither of her parents are pushing her in that direction, Lopez toldExtraafter their performance.
“For us, it’s not about putting her out in the spotlight, it’s about doing things together that bond us. I don’t put her in everything, she’s not going to work professionally – a lot of people are asking me that. It’s something that we connect on, is singing.”
