Jennifer Lopez’s daughter, Emme Muñiz, has reportedly expressed a desire to change her last name as part of a personal journey to carve out her own identity separate from her famous family.

Sources close to the family suggest that while Emme deeply respects her mother’s legacy, she feels the need to step out from the immense shadow cast by the Lopez name.

Emme, who has already made a name for herself with her early musical performances and writing endeavors, is said to want a surname that reflects her own path, independent of the public persona tied to her mom’s global fame. The decision, while emotional, is supported by Lopez, who understands her daughter’s desire to create a unique space for herself.
