Speaking on the TODAY show last year, Lopez - who is also a mother to Emme's twin Max - opened up about the move to having all their children under the same roof.

Fin also has a sister, Violet, 18, and brother, Samuel, 15.  

'It's been, like, a really kind of emotional transition, but at the same time all your dreams coming true,' she said.

'It's just been a phenomenal year. Like, my best year I think since my kids were born.'

In December, a source also told ET that the blended family enjoys spending time together thanks to the children's close bond.

'Ben and Jen's kids get along super well, and everything has been easy and seamless on that front, which has been really nice for them,' they told the outlet.

'Ben and Jen Garner are also in a good place. They have a mutual understanding that their children come first and are committed to that.' 

Garner and Affleck split in 2015 and finalized their divorce in 2018, but maintain a friendly relationship.

Fans on social media have also for years remarked at Emme and Fin's 'inseparable' friendship, dubbing them 'BFFs'. 

It is understood that the pals also attend the same school, with Fin sure to have helped Emme adjust after their move to Los Angeles from Miami, according to Hola!.

Lopez first publicly introduced Emme's pronouns to a crowd at the LA Dodgers Foundation's Blue Diamond Gala where they both performed in June 2022.

'[The last time] we performed together was in a big stadium like this, and I ask them to sing with me all the time but they won't,' the star said onstage.

'So, this is a very special occasion, because they're very, very busy and booked and pricey.

'They cost me when they come out, but they're worth every single penny because they're my favorite duet partner of all time.'

Last weekend, Fin debuted their new name before reading a bible verse to the congregation at Christ Church United Methodist in Charleston, West Virginia on Saturday.

'I'm going to just call them them. They/them, and they are doing great, they're settling in. I just — in my life, I never saw it in a million years that I'd have [these] couple days, and I'm very moved by the whole thing.'
