Starting a New Year often means surrounding yourself with the people who matter most. And for Jennifer Lopez, that meant bringing her inner circle right into the spotlight. As 2025 rolled into 2026, the global icon proved that despite her superstar status, she is a mother first.
As the countdown to the new year began, the singer was joined onstage by her 17-year-old twins, Emme and Max Muniz, for a deeply personal celebration. It was a beautiful reminder that, despite her massive career milestones, she is a mother first and foremost, choosing to ring in a fresh start with her children by her side.

Jennifer Lopez officially ushered in the New Year with an electrifying start to her new Las Vegas Strip residency, “Up All Night,” at The Colosseum at Caesars Palace. However, the most touching moment occurred during the midnight countdown. In a video that quickly went viral, Lopez welcomed 2026 alongside Emme and Max Muniz. The singer was seen affectionately kissing and hugging her teens as the crowd erupted in cheers.
She later shared the magic on social media, simply captioning her Instagram post: “HAPPY NEW YEAR live from Las Vegas!” By involving her children in such a major career moment, JLo proved that while she remains a powerhouse entertainer, her family is the true heartbeat of her success.
The production is a sprawling, four-act journey that traces her evolution from her roots in the Bronx to the glitz of Broadway. Throughout the night, audiences were taken on a musical pilgrimage, featuring chart-topping hits from “On the Floor” to “Jenny From the Block” and “Love Don’t Cost a Thing.”
Adding a sophisticated layer to the pop spectacle, Lopez also performed Broadway classics that influenced her multi-decade career. She was backed by a magnificent 17-piece band, complete with an all-female string section that brought a lush, orchestral feel to the Vegas stage.
