As for how the teens are doing, she said they are challenging everything. “Listen they’re becoming adutls. They are challenging everything in life, they’re looking at everything, and these kids have so much information, so much more than we had. So they’re thinking and talking about things and about life in a different way than I did when I was 15 or 16 years old.”

JLo also shared what fans can expect from her new album dedicated to their love, This is Me... Now saying it has her “whole heart” “It does capture this moment in time for me when we first got back together a couple of years ago,” she said. “It’s a beautiful piece of work.
