Jennifer Lopez's child appears to have debuted a new name after fans spotted a post about their college plans.
The singer, 56, shares 18-year-old twins Max and Emme with her former husband Marc Anthony, 57.
However, eagle-eyed fans spotted that Emme now appears to go by another name after their graduation.
According to Page Six, the new name was revealed in a post share in March by an Instagram account that shares the college decisions of graduating Windward seniors.
In one post, a childhood photo of the now-18-year-old was shared alongside the name Oskar Muñiz, with the caption also tagging an account believed to belong to Jennifer's child.
The post added that Oskar will be heading to Sarah Lawrence College to study theater and studio arts.
The caption read: "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!!!”
While the post appears to have since been removed, screenshots show it was 'liked' by Jennifer Garner, who was previously married to Jennifer Lopez's ex-husband Ben Affleck.
JLo has not publicly addressed the name change and her representatives have yet to comment.
Earlier in the week, JLo attended Oskar's graduation ceremony along with her mother, Guadalupe Rodríguez, and Ben Affleck’s son, Samuel.
Jennifer became emotional when asked about her kids' graduation during a recent appearance on Jimmy Kimmel Live, when she told the host: "Don’t talk about it because [I] start crying,” admitting she had been "crying for two months" at the prospect of her twins leaving home for college.
She also confirmed that her two children will be going to different colleges, which she says she is "fine" with as she wants "them to be happy and go where they want to go and do what they want to do."
News of the apparent name change comes after Jennifer was praised for her use of certain pronouns when referring to her child in the past.
Jennifer made headlines back in 2022 during the Blue Diamond Gala at Dodger Stadium in Los Angeles, when she introduced Oskar on stage using they/them pronouns — a moment that quickly went viral.
"The last time we performed together was in a big stadium like this and I ask them to sing with me all the time, and they won’t,” Jennifer said at the time as Oskar joined her onstage. “So, this is a very special occasion."
She continued with a playful nod to Oskar's schedule: "They are very, very busy, booked and pricey. They cost me when they come out. But they’re worth every single penny because they’re my favourite duet partner of all time. So, if you will indulge me.”
The touching moment was widely shared and applauded online. One fan wrote on X (formerly Twitter): “JLo, you are a wonderful mother and you both sang beautifully.”
Another chimed in: “'They' is how Emme identifies. This was JLo sharing that information, it's beautiful to see her supporting her child.”
“Awww JLo respecting the pronouns,” a third added, with another saying: “Aw I love her support.”
