Marc Anthony appeared to be a no-show at his child Emme\u2019s high school graduation<\/a> on Thursday.<\/p>\n

Despite the singer seemingly skipping, Emme\u2019s mom, Jennifer Lopez, showed up to support, as well as grandma Guadalupe Rodr\u00edguez and former step-sibling Samuel.<\/p>\n

Emme, 18, and Ben Affleck\u2019s 14-year-old son were pictured chatting in photos obtained by Page Six on Friday.<\/p>\n

Emme\u2019s twin brother, Max, was also present at the ceremony.<\/p>\n

The guest of honor was all smiles at the Los Angeles event in a tan suit, while Max rocked an all-black ensemble.<\/p>\n

Reps for Anthony and Lopez did not immediately respond to Page Six\u2019s requests for comment regarding his absence.<\/p>\n

Along with the twins, Anthony has five other children, most recently welcoming son Marco<\/a>, 2, with wife Nadia Ferreira.<\/p>\n

Ben Affleck\u2019s 14-year-old son, Samuel, also showed up to support his former step-sibling (as pictured above). BACKGRID<\/p>\n

At one point, the pair huddled together to seemingly check out something on a phone. BACKGRID<\/p>\n

The couple announced in January that they are\u00a0expecting baby No. 2<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Anthony also shares daughter Arianna, 32, and son Chase, 35, with ex Debbie Rosado Rosado, as well as sons Cristian, 25, and Ryan, 22, with Dayanara Torres.<\/p>\n

Emme and Max, meanwhile, are Lopez\u2019s only two children. The teens were born in 2008, three years before their parents called it quits. <\/p>\n

Lopez went on to marry Affleck<\/a> in 2022 \u2014 and since splitting in 2024<\/a>, the exes have kept in contact with each other\u2019s children<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Despite Lopez and Affleck splitting after two years of marriage in 2024, the pair have remained close to one another\u2019s kids. BACKGRID<\/p>\n

The \u201cArgo\u201d actor, notably, shares Samuel, Violet, 20, and Seraphina, 17, with ex-wife Jennifer Garner<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Most recently, Lopez was spotted shopping with Sam<\/a> in September 2025.<\/p>\n

The \u201cAir\u201d actor, for his part, brought Emme and Max to the premiere of his action\/thriller \u201cThe Accountant\u201d last year.<\/p>\n

At the time, Affleck gushed to\u00a0Entertainment Tonight<\/a>, \u201cThe kids are here, Jen\u2019s kids are here. I\u2019m very, very excited. I love when all the kids come out.\u201d\u2060<\/p>\n

Lopez, meanwhile, recently opened up about Emme and Max jetting off to college. BACKGRID<\/p>\n

The \u201cOn the Floor\u201d hitmaker (pictured here on Friday) admitted she has been \u201ccrying for two months\u201d anticipating their departure. BACKGRID<\/p>\n

He called Lopez \u201cspectacular\u201d at the April 2025 red carpet \u2014 and praised her for being \u201cgreat\u201d to his children.<\/p>\n

The Oscar winner raved about the twins at the time, calling them \u201cwonderful.\u201d<\/p>\n

The evening before Emme\u2019s graduation, Lopez got emotional talking about the next steps<\/a> during a \u201cJimmy Kimmel Live!\u201d interview<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The \u201cOffice Romance\u201d star confessed she has been \u201ccrying for two months.\u201d<\/p>\n

However, the \u201cOffice Romance\u201d star (pictured here with her kids in 2025), just wants to see them \u201chappy.\u201d WireImage<\/p>\n

\u201cThey have big dreams,\u201d the Grammy nominee (pictured here with Emme in 2025) gushed. GC Images<\/p>\n

However, the hitmaker\u2019s main mission is to see the twins \u201cbe happy and go where they want to go and do what they want to do.\u201d<\/p>\n

She did joke, \u201cThey\u2019re going to realize that their dorms are too small and they\u2019re going to miss home. I hope they\u2019ll want to come back real soon. That\u2019s my plan.\u201d<\/p>\n

Lopez explained that while people have asked whether the kids leaving will be \u201cterrible,\u201d she thinks it will be \u201cgreat\u201d since \u201cthey have big dreams.\u201d
