Jennifer Lopez took her twins Max and Emme to Japan for a special holiday to celebrate their 16th birthdays.

The pop superstar’s kids – from her marriage to singer Marc Anthony – reached the milestone on Thursday (22.02.24) and she celebrated by whisking them off on a trip to Tokyo which she documented on Instagram.

Jennifer, 54, shared a video which she captioned: “Birthday trip 2024” showing the trio at the airport and then taking in the sights of Tokyo.

Emme was seen cuddling micropigs in the Mipig Cafe while the family also took part in a traditional Japanese tea ceremony.

Other highlights included an outing to the Tokyo art museum and a sushi dinner with silver 16th birthday balloons and a cake for the twins.

The clip finished with the message: “Happy Birthday to my coconuts I love you.”

Jennifer previously opened up about the impact her fame has on her children, admitting it’s been difficult for the teens and she feels a lot of “guilt”.

She told Audacy: “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 …

“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. 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?’

“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.”

Cate Blanchett fulfilled her ambition of playing a nun in ‘The New Boy’.

The 54-year-old star features in the new period drama about an Aboriginal orphan boy who begins to question his faith and heritage after being brought into a Christian monastery and hopes she gets the opportunity to wear a habit on screen again.

Speaking on ‘The Graham Norton Show’, Cate said: “I am fascinated by the clash of indigenous spirituality and the industrial complex that is Catholicism. I always wanted to play a nun, and this is my first one. I hope it’s not my last.”

Filming on the picture took place in South Australia and Cate felt that the picturesque scenery enhanced the movie.

The ‘Don’t Look Up’ star said: “It is incredible. The landscape is a real character, it’s extraordinary. We were in the middle of nowhere and I love how benign the landscape looked, that you can walk into long grass and not think about anything.

“In reality, the fear of walking into a wheat field and stepping on a Brown snake is huge, yet you have to run with spiritual joy. Now that is acting!”

Cate served as a producer on ‘The New Boy’ and previously explained that she is “always trying to get out of acting” despite her success in the profession.

She said at the Cannes Film Festival last year: “I’m always trying to get out of acting. I’ve been trying to stop acting my entire professional life.”

Blanchett also recalled how she was advised to stop taking small roles in the early part of her acting career, even though she was keen to avoid playing lead parts.

She said: “I remember an Australian film director saying to me really early on in my career that I had to stop taking small roles.

“And I said, ‘Why?’ I said, ‘That was the most interesting role.’ I didn’t want to play the lead. I want that one.”
