Jennifer Lopez Toasting Herself On Her 49th Birthday Is Peak J.LO

There are two kinds of people in this world, regular people who look a little older with each birthday and Jennifer Lopez, who does not.

The mum of 10-year-old twins, Max and Emme, took to Instagram to share a series of family photos from her birthday celebrations with boyfriend Alex Rodriguez. "Current birthday situation... yup," she wrote.

Rodriguez took the opportunity to post a sweet tribute to J.LO, alongside a gallery of the 49-year-old looking gorgeous, he wrote: "When we were kids, birthdays were exciting because it was all about the gifts we would be getting. A new bat, dance shoes, maybe a new CD (yes I’m old!). I see firsthand how that’s changed for Jennifer, and how she’s found joy in sharing with others. For someone who has been about giving everything she has 365 days a year—to our children, our families, the world—I hope today, we can give you all the happiness you deserve. I love you mucho Macha 13. ❤️"
