In the picture – which was simply captioned as ‘Spring break’ – the songstress posed with Emme, as well as a family friend.
Jennifer shares twins Emme and Max with ex-husband Marc Anthony. Upon tying the knot with Ben, she also became stepmother to his children whom he welcomed with ex-wife Jennifer Garner: Violet, 18, Seraphina, 15, and Samuel, 12.
The Maid in Manhattan star also had a blast with Emme as the duo went to see the Broadway musical titled, Merrily We Roll Along, over the weekend.
The star also uploaded photos from the special day, including a snap as she shared a sweet embrace with Emme.
Lopez could be seen dressed to impress in a vibrant green ensemble while also sporting a pair of fashionable shades.
The singer is preparing for her summer tour in support of her This Is Me… Now album – which officially dropped last month on February 16.
However, due to poor ticket sales, Jennifer reportedly canceled dates spanning from August 20th through the 31st on her North American tour, according to Variety.
Upon the release of Lopez’s ninth studio album, it landed at the number 38 spot on the Billboard 200 chart.

While talking to Entertainment Tonight last month, she revealed to the outlet that she felt ‘fulfilled’ with the album and hinted that it may possibly also be her last.
‘We try to do stuff that’s very special for the fans and do collector’s items and things like that that they can have forever and ever,’ she said of the LP.
‘The truth is I don’t even know if I’ll ever make another album after this,’ the performer then admitted.
‘It’s such the kind of quintessential kind of Jennifer Lopez J.Lo project and I really feel very fulfilled, so they really will be collector’s items at a certain point.’
Jennifer’s latest outing with Ben on Friday comes just days after her ex Diddy’s L.A. and Miami homes were raided by Homeland Security in a sex trafficking investigation.
It was also revealed that the rapper owes the bank nearly $100 million after taking out eight mortgages on his homes in L.A. and Miami that were raided.
Afterward the raid, Diddy broke his silence and claimed that he is the victim of a ‘witch hunt.’
His lawyer, Aaron Dyer, told DailyMail.com in a statement, ‘There is no excuse for the excessive show of force and hostility exhibited by authorities or the way his children and employees were treated.’

‘This unprecedented ambush – paired with an advanced, coordinated media presence – leads to a premature rush to judgment of Mr. Combs and is nothing more than a witch hunt based on meritless accusations made in civil lawsuits.’
‘There has been no finding of criminal or civil liability with any of these allegations. Mr. Combs is innocent and will continue to fight every single day to clear his name,’ Dyer added.
Jennifer and Diddy previously dated from 1999 until their split in 2001.
Also known as P. Diddy, Puff Daddy or Diddy, the Bad Boy for Life hitmaker isn’t a stranger to scandal – and at the height of his fame, he made tabloid headlines for his ‘tumultuous’ relationship with J.Lo.
The duo bonded over their love of music, and Diddy quickly became like a ‘mentor’ to the Jenny from the Block songstress.
But after J.Lo, who has since found happiness with Ben Affleck, detailed her past abusive relationships in her emotional 2024 documentary, The Greatest Love Story Never Told, fans speculated she was referring to her ex Sean.
A source has denied to MailOnline that J.Lo was referring about Diddy and that it was a subsequent relationship instead.
Talking to CBS Sunday Morning in 2019, the singer opened up about her highly-publicized romance with Sean, calling it a ‘kind of a crazy, heightened time in her life.’
They were together for two years, before splitting in 2001. She later said she ended things because she didn’t feel like she could have the family life that she dreamed of with the musician.

She also claimed he had cheated on her, telling Vibe magazine in 2003: ‘It was the first time I was with someone who wasn’t faithful…’
But the couple also hit headlines after Jennifer and Sean were arrested on December 27, 1999, following a shooting outside the Times Square Club in Manhattan.
The two were charged with criminal possession of a weapon, though the charges were later dropped against her as she was determined to be uninvolved.
Jennifer broke up with the rap mogul a month before his trial was slated to begin in 2001. He was ultimately acquitted on all charges.
