Jennifer Lopez and Child Emme Step Out Together in Coordinating Looks at Star-Studded Broadway Opening of Othello in N.Y.C.

The ‘Othello’ revival stars Denzel Washington and Jake Gyllenhaal

Jennifer Lopez and her child Emme spent a stylish night out together on Broadway!

On Sunday, March 23, the singer and actress, 55, stepped out with Emme, 17, at her side as they attended the opening night of Denzel Washington and Jake Gyllenhaal‘s new revival of Othello.

In photos taken outside of the Barrymore Theatre in New York City, the mother-child duo could be seen wearing coordinating dark looks. Lopez sported a navy two-piece outfit from designer Zuhair Murad’s fall-winter 2024 couture collection. The look included a midriff-baring top and a floor-length skirt, both of which featured a sparkly pattern of bedazzled stones. She paired her look with a black fur statement coat and silver circular earrings, and had her hair styled in a tight bun.

Emme, meanwhile, opted for a black and white pinstriped suit with a printed tie and a gray button-down shirt, along with chunky black loafers. The teen also wore a pair of black eyeglasses and gold earrings.

Lopez welcomed Emme and twin brother Max with her ex-husband Marc Anthony in 2008.

Last month, the Unstoppable actress celebrated her twins’ 17th birthday with a sweet Instagram message. In the Feb. 22 post, the mom-of-two shared a video featuring photos and videos of the family from throughout the years. A few of the moments included in the montage were a clip of the trio posing for photos on a tire swing and Lopez embracing her kids backstage.

“Seventeen. I love you beyond forever 🥥🥥,” Lopez captioned the post.

The post also included photos of Emme during an onstage performance, Max dressed in a school uniform and the family at home and on vacation. 

In December 2024, Lopez spoke with Entertainment Weekly about her film Unstoppable — in which she plays champion wrestler Anthony Robles’ mom Judy Robles — and recalled how her experience as a single parent influenced the way she looked at her movie role.

“I’ve been a single mom at times in my life, and [I’ve asked], ‘Am I enough for them?’ ” Lopez said. “And the truth is, all you need is really one good parent to love you.”

“You hear it in Anthony’s voice, and look what he’s been able to accomplish,” she added of the wrestler. “That’s what the movie gave me: You are enough.”

A number of other stars were in attendance at Sunday night’s Othello opening, including newly-minted Oscar winner Kieran Culkin, Ariana DeBose, Cynthia Nixon and even former president Joe Biden and former first lady Dr. Jill Biden.

This new production of Othello features Washington, 70, in the title role and Gyllenhaal, 44, as the villainous Iago. The show is set to run for a strictly limited 15-week engagement through Sunday, June 8.

This isn’t the first time Emme has accompanied their mom to a premiere. Last year, the Kiss of the Spider Woman actress brought the 17-year-old to the star-studded musical premiere of the movie Wicked.

Lopez revealed her special guest in an Instagram Stories post a few days after the event, at which she walked the red carpet solo. 

In the post, Lopez could be seen smiling from ear to ear with Emme, who attended the premiere in a multicolored top and dark-colored pants.

“Wicked!! We loved it 💚🧙‍♀️🧚🩷,” the star wrote in the caption.
