One unexpected special guest
stole the Super Bowl halftime show, right when Jennifer
Lopez and Shakira were performing: and that guest is Emme Maribel
Muñiz.
Lopez thrilled the audience
with a rendition of “Get Right” and “Jenny From the Block,” a children choir
came on stage, with Muñiz, Jennifer Lopez’s 11-year-old daughter, leading the
ensemble. Muñiz sang “Born in USA,” a song by Bruce Springsteen.
Her mother later returned to
the stage, clothed in a feathered Puerto Rican flag.
Everyone, including
celebrities, noticed how sweetly she sang Springsteen’s song and her
extraordinary performance.
So remarkable was Muñiz
performance that Kim Kardashian tweeted “Can we talk about how amazing @JLo’s
daughter Emme sang on such a huge stage like the Super Bowl?”
Even @AshleyShyMiller also
tweeted “Is that J Lo’s daughter out there singing?”
The young girl showed rare
talent, especially on such a great platform like the Super Bowl. But not so
many people know much about her.
Well, you are about to learn
everything we know about this talented youngster.
Muñiz
is Not New to Singing
Granted, her mother is a
music superstar, but not everyone expected her to be as cool and collected as
she was at the Super Bowl. And that led many to wonder if she had prior
experience.
Research shows that she
indeed had prior experience, though not on so grand a stage as the Super Bowl.
Sometime last year, Muñiz’s
mother shared a Behind-the-scenes video of her rehearsals when she was getting
set for her “Today” show summer concert series performance.
Muñiz happened to visit her
mother during rehearsals and was seen to give a beautiful – albeit impromptu –
public presentation of “If I Ain’t Got You” by Alicia Keys.
“We should have her come out
and do something on tour,” said Lopez in the video. “Want to? Want to put a
little piece in the show?”
“I don’t know,” Muñiz
replied.
Marc
Anthony is Emme’s Dad
It shouldn’t really be
surprising that Muñiz could belt out such an electrifying performance at the
Super Bowl. And that is because she is the daughter of two fantastic
superstars.
Lopez had Muñiz – and her
twin – when she was with Marc Anthony, her ex-husband. The two singers got
married in 2004 but went their separate ways in 2011. Marc is now married to
Shannon De Lima, and his ex-wife is presently engaged to Alex Rodriguez.
Lopez stated in an interview
that she had with Entertainment
Tonight last year “Emme’s got her daddy’s voice, and it’s
amazing,” she said.
“It’s natural,” the “I’m
Real” artist added. “Emme could always sing. I remember when she was in a crib,
she used to be humming, like, really humming to herself.”
Her dad and Grammy-winning
artist, Anthony, tweeted his support for Muñiz following her performance at the
Super Bowl.
“Emme, Daddy is so proud
of you. You are my (heart), and I am forever yours,” he wrote alongside a
video of his daughter performing.
