Jenny From The Block has never forgotten her roots or how hard she’s worked to get to where she is today. Her Instagram profile proudly states ‘No matter where I go, I know where I came from.’ And taking to that same platform  Jennifer Lopez  recently shared an amazing throwback from when she was 17, looking fresh and with dark curls framing her pretty face. It’s impossible not to notice the similarity between the photo and her daughter  Emme , who at 12, is taking after her mom not only in looks but also with her singing talent. Jennifer and  Marc Anthony ’s daughter  wowed fans with her performance at the Super Bowl halftime show in February .

The family, including Emme’s twin brother  Max , are currently self-isolating at home in Miami with JLo’s fiancé  Alex Rodriguez  and his daughters Natasha, 15, and Ella, 11. The talented group have been entertaining fans with Tik Tok dance challenges, motivating posts about the importance of exercise while in self-confinement and throwbacks to concerts and important family moments.

Jennifer and Alex got engaged in March 2019 and it looks like the  COVID-19  pandemic has put their wedding plans on hold for the time being. Thankfully their relationship and family bond just gets stronger by the day. Prior to the lockdown Jennifer opened up on  Oprah Winfrey 's 2020 Vision: Your Life in Focus tour about how her children reacted to Alex after they first met, she said: "It was like no, they really, they really liked him."

The Selena star then recalled how her son Max had reacted to her dating Alex. "Max even said something, I remember this conversation with him, even though it's like three years ago now. He said something like: 'Alex is the only one who doesn't ever get mad at me.'" Jennifer explained that Max is often getting into trouble at home because he has so much energy!
