Jennifer Lopez stepped onto the red carpet in New York City for the premiere of Office Romance, expecting attention for her glamorous outfit. Instead, social media quickly shifted focus to her 18-year-old son Maximilian David Muñiz after he appeared beside her during the event.
Lopez chose a striking vintage look for the evening, wearing a fitted blazer by Jean Paul Gaultier paired with a silky skirt and towering high heels. Fans praised the actress for the polished styling and classic Hollywood energy she brought to the carpet. But once photos of Max began circulating online, the conversation changed almost immediately.
The teenager arrived to support his mother dressed in a formal jacket, shirt and tie combination, but one detail instantly caught the attention of internet users — instead of traditional trousers, he wore shorts. The unusual styling choice quickly sparked thousands of comments, with many people focusing not on the outfit itself, but on how thin his legs appeared in the photographs.
Online reactions escalated fast. Some users began openly speculating about Max’s health and appearance, while others criticized the internet for obsessively analyzing the body of a teenager based on red carpet photos. Still, the images continued spreading rapidly across entertainment pages, turning Max into one of the most discussed celebrity children of the week almost overnight.
Jennifer shares Max and his twin sister Emme Muñiz with her former husband Marc Anthony. The pair married in 2004 shortly after Anthony finalized his divorce from his previous wife, and welcomed the twins in February 2008 before separating in 2011. Despite the breakup, both have remained actively involved in their children’s lives over the years.
Meanwhile, Lopez continues facing growing public attention around her own personal life as rumors linking her romantically to Brett Goldstein keep gaining momentum. The two star together in “Office Romance” as love interests, and speculation about them reportedly began earlier this year after they were spotted attending the Broadway production of “Oh, Mary!” together. But even with romance rumors swirling around Jennifer once again, this latest premiere ended up being dominated by one unexpected topic — her son’s appearance beside her on the red carpet.
