The 56-year-old singer and actress said during the SmartLess podcast that she got her kids Max and Emme (who now goes by Oskar) to graduate high school and prepare for college all on her own.
'I was like, "You did that s*** all by yourself. That's great." Like, "You had very little help," you know?' she said.

She also seemed to be hinting that her last husband, , whom she was with from 2021 until 2024, did not really help parent them much either, nor did her former fiancé whom she was with from 2017 to 2021.
This comes just before Father's Day lands on Sunday, June 21.
And the On The Floor hitmaker feels proud of the huge part she played in bringing them up. 'Now, I can really look at my life, appreciate it for what it is and what I've created for myself and be really happy,' said the Office Romance actress.

Speaking on Watch What Happens Live with Andy Cohen, she said: 'It's an emotional time. It's been the three of us.

'Even though I'm trying to download everything I've ever learned in my life, every lesson I've ever [learned], to them right now before they leave in August … I still feel like who you are as a person, how you act, what they see you do, if you work hard, they become more hard workers,' Lopez shared.
'They mimic you in this weird way and learn from you, even though they act like they're opposite [to] you.
'My kids [are like], "I don't want to be anything like you. I want to have my own path."
'They see this persona and it's such a thing. But I also see them ... not mimic, but just pick up things that are the good traits about you,' said the single mother.
