“I met Tracy right after I had my twins. I called her at a time when I was feeling insecure and uncertain, wondering if I would ever get back to how I was before — as most new moms do after giving birth,” Lopez shared at the podium.
Lopez continued showering her trainer with praises, adding how crucial of a time it was for her.
“She came into my life and helped me embrace the new me and help me to be and to realize that I could be stronger than I ever had before,” she said.
Lopez shares Max and Emme with ex-husband Marc Anthony.
“Jennifer and Marc are delighted, thrilled and over the moon,” her manager Simon Fields told PEOPLE exclusively after the singer gave birth.

“It’s challenging. You have this baby for a while and then it’s like, your best little friend who loves being with you all the time, and then all of a sudden it’s like, ‘Get out of my room,’ ” she explained.
