Jennifer Lopez is entering a new era of her life. The icon has officially turned 57 and will soon be an empty nester. Until then, she’s making the most of her summer with her twins Max and Oskar, before they go to college.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\"They\u00a9 Backgrid UK\/The Grosby GroupThey looked happy in each others company<\/p>\n

The singer and actress was spotted exploring Rome on Monday with the 18-year-old twins, during what has already been a fun and fashionable summer in Europe.<\/p>\n

The family took in some of the city’s most famous sights, including the Colosseum, before cooling down with gelato and making their way through the Italian capital.<\/p>\n

The outing comes days after Lopez celebrated her 57th birthday on July 24, making the family vacation something of a birthday trip and chance to spend time together before Max and Oskar leave for college.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\nJLo and her soon-to-be empty nest<\/p>\n

It’s a milestone Lopez has already admitted she’s struggling to think about. The twins, whom she shares with ex-husband Marc Anthony,\u00a0<\/a>graduated from high school earlier\u00a0<\/a>this year and are preparing to begin college in the fall.<\/p>\n

Lopez couldn’t hide her pride when she recently opened up about what it took for both of them to get there. “I am so proud that they set goals for themselves,\u201d she told EXTRA. \u201cThey all got into all five colleges that they applied to. Each one got a scholarship to a school.\u201d<\/p>\n

\"Lopez\u00a9 Backgrid UK\/The Grosby GroupLopez looked stunning<\/p>\n

She also reflected on watching them work toward the milestone for years, including navigating school while learning differently because of ADHD. \u201cI watched how hard they worked during, you know, from the time they were like, you know, when school gets serious and like the fifth grade,\u201d Lopez said. \u201cThey just worked hard, worked hard.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cI’m just so proud of them because they did what they said they were going to do,\u201d she said. \u201cAnd they’re good people. They’re loving, good-hearted people.\u201d<\/p>\n

\"JLo\u00a9 Backgrid UK\/The Grosby GroupJLo was rocking a silky dress and flip flops<\/p>\n

It’s a lesson she has tried to instill in them since they were young. \u201cI always say to them, \u2018What do I say?\u2019 And they said, \u2018Doesn’t matter if we get good grades so long as we’re good people,\u2019\u201d Lopez recalled. \u201cAnd I was like, \u2018That’s right.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n

The twins will be taking separate paths when they head off to college, something Lopez confirmed earlier this summer while admitting she’s already emotional about watching them leave home.\u00a0<\/p>\n

During a June appearance on Watch What Happens Live with Andy Cohen, Lopez opened up about the reality of becoming an empty nester after nearly two decades with her twins by her side.
\u201cIt’s an emotional time. It’s been the three of us,\u201d she said. \u201cPeople have come in and out of my life, but it’s been the three of us. They’ve always been there, and I’ve always been there.\u201d<\/p>\n

For Lopez, imagining a home without them still doesn’t feel entirely real. \u201cI just never thought they would not be there,\u201d she admitted. \u201cI just never thought that far ahead.\u201d<\/p>\n

One last European summer before college<\/p>\n

Rome is the latest stop in what has been a long European summer for Lopez.<\/p>\n

Her travels have taken her from Wimbledon, where she rocked a wide-brimmed hat<\/a>, to Italy, where she performed during Dolce & Gabbana’s Alta Moda festivities in Sicily, and Paris, where she celebrated turning 57.\u00a0<\/a><\/p>\n

For her birthday, Lopez shared a message that read<\/a>, \u201cWhen you keep going, it just keeps getting better.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Jennifer Lopez is entering a new era of her life.
