Jennifer Lopez‘s 18-year-old child, Emme, has seemingly ditched their name for a new identity.
The discovery was made after a social media account that highlights college decisions made by graduating seniors at Windward School in Los Angeles addressed Emme by a brand new name and pronouns.
The shocking change comes almost a year after Jennifer Lopez and the teenager went viral for their striking resemblance in a photo.
Emme Now Goes By ‘Oskar,’ Graduation Post Confirms
Lopez is the mother to twin teenagers, Emme Maribel Muñiz and Maximilian David Muñiz, whom she shares with her ex-husband, Marc Anthony.
However, one of her kids stunned fans after it was quietly revealed that they had changed their identity.
Emme, who was once known as the singer’s daughter, now seemingly goes by “Oskar Muñiz,” as seen in a recent Instagram post from an account linked to their LA High School.
The account used a new name and he/him pronouns while talking about the college Emme will be attending after their graduation.
“Oskar to Sarah Lawrence! No more impromptu NYC trips because he’ll be living there! Good thing it’s only a few hours away from Stagedoor. Go gryphons!! Congrats!!” the post read.
It also featured a childhood photo of Emme smiling and linked out to their private Instagram page, which seemed to have an image of Emme on the locked profile.
Fans Were Surprised And Divided By The Name Change
Unsurprisingly, there was a mix of comments from people reacting to the discovery of Emme’s new identity.
“Oskar? I thought her name was Emme, and she’s a girl, not a boy!” one individual asked, while another said, “Wow, a little confused here? Must be a hard life.”
However, a lot of the comments were very positive and praised for their graduation milestone.
One person stated, “Congrats, Oskar! We love you,” while another wrote, “Congrats! Onward and upward!”
The graduation post was also liked by Jennifer Garner, who was previously married to Lopez’s ex-husband, Ben Affleck.
Garner shares three kids with Affleck: Violet, Finn (Seraphina), and Samuel. All three kids reportedly grew close to Lopez’s children during the singer’s short marriage to their dad.
Jennifer Lopez Supported Emmer At Their Graduation, But Dad Marc Anthony Was A No-Show
The recent name change discovery came after Lopez made an appearance at Emme’s high school graduation, alongside her mother, Guadalupe Rodriguez, and former stepson, Samuel Affleck.
Emme’s twin brother, Max, was also at the ceremony. They were all seen smiling on the happy occasion, with Emme and Samuel, at one point, seen having a conversation, according to the photos obtained by Page Six.
Notably absent from the graduation event was Emme and Max’s father, Marc Anthony.
While it’s unclear why he was a no-show, the musician revealed back in January that he and his wife, Nadia Ferriera, were expecting their second child together, three years after welcoming a son.
Jennifer Lopez Reveals She Hasn’t Stopped ‘Crying’ Over Her Kids Leaving Home For College
During a recent appearance on the “Jimmy Kimmel Live!” show, Lopez got candid about her kids leaving home and becoming an empty nester.
The actress admitted that she has been very emotional over the thought of her kids going to college, telling host Jimmy Kimmel, “Tomorrow one of them graduates [high school]” Lopez noted, before saying, “Don’t talk about it ’cause we start crying.”
After being asked if she would cry at the graduation, Lopez said, “I’ve been crying for two months.”
She then talked about being “fine” with Max and Emme attending different schools, noting she would rather be happy and go where they want to go, instead of forcing them to attend the same college.
“It’s fine. I want them to be happy, go where they want to go and do what they want to do,” the singer explained.
Jennifer Lopez And Emme Went Viral For Their Resemblance
Before Emme’s recent name change, the teenager went viral after a photo of them and Lopez hit the internet, which highlighted their resemblance.
The image was taken during the singer’s time in the Hamptons during Lopez’s summer getaway after her split from Affleck.
It featured Lopez and Emme beaming with smiles in the back seat of a convertible, with the singer’s vocal coach, Stevie Mackey, in the front seat.
In the photo, Emme went for a casual look in a blue plaid shirt and khaki shorts, while Lopez looked effortlessly chic in a crisp white button-down.
At the time, the mother-child duo was flooded with sweet comments from fans commenting on how similar they looked, with some even branding Emme a “carbon copy” of Lopez.
