“She went mama bear,” the source said. “She yelled at the guy for getting too close.”
The protective moment quickly gained traction online, with fans applauding Lopez for standing up for her child. Many highlighted her ongoing support for Emme, who uses they/them pronouns.
In 2022, Lopez was commended for introducing Emme with gender-neutral pronouns during a performance at the Blue Diamond Gala —
a gesture that many viewed as an example of inclusive and supportive parenting.
“They are very, very busy, booked and pricey,” Lopez said of Emme at the time. “But they’re worth every single penny because they’re my favorite duet partner of all time.”
Social media users reacted warmly to Lopez’s advocacy and care. One fan commented, “JLo, you are a wonderful mother.” Another added, “It’s beautiful to see her supporting her child.”
