JLo’s twins celebrate their 8th birthday!

Jennifer Lopez and Marc Anthony's adorable twins, Emme and Max, just made their 8th birthday wishes.

On Monday, the mother-of-two took to Instagram to share this adorable snap of her “coconuts,” Max and Emma, standing beside each other as they blew out their candles.

The 46-year-old captured the moment, and uploaded the photo to her Instagram account to share with her 37 million followers.

Make a wish!

“HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO THE LIGHTS OF MY LIFE. You have brought me nothing but joy and happiness since the very second you were born. I am so proud of who you are and the beautiful loving caring people you are growing into.” She captioned the photo.

Addressing her many supporters, she added, “And thank you everyone for all the beautiful birthday wishes and videos. They are so precious!!”

JLo currently stars as a cop in the US drama series, Shades of Blue, and if that didn’t make her busy enough, she has also committed to being a judge in the 15th series of American Idol.

But no matter how busy ‘Jenny from the block’ gets, she will always puts her kids first.

The twins have JLo’s flair for the fabulous.

“I have to see them because if I don’t see them and they don’t see me, then it’s not happiness,” Lopez said to ET.

“Like, this morning I had to work out, then I sit down and I have lunch with them before I come over here and then I go, ‘You know what? Since we’re shooting all the way through, I’ll have the kids come over at 6:30. They can bring me dinner because we had some leftovers.’ Every day is like that!”

The brunette beauty spoke more about the importance of her work/life balance in a recent interview with InStyle.

“I am busy, and they know it,” she said in regards to her twins. “And they know part of their job is helping me get sleep.”

“If I’m sleeping in, they’re very quiet, like, ‘Mommy needs to sleep! She worked late last night!’ We’re a team.”

“Becoming a mom makes you stronger but also more gentle, especially with yourself—and that changes everything,” she added.

The “Let’s get loud” singer has shared parenting responsibilities with her ex-husband, Marc Anthony since their split in 2011.

Since then, both Jennifer and the Latin singer have moved on, with Marc remarrying model Shannon De Lima in 2014, and JLo dating on-again-off-again boyfriend and dance choreographer, Casper Smart.
