Marc Anthony appeared to be a no-show at his child Emme’s high school graduation on Thursday.
Despite the singer seemingly skipping, Emme’s mom, Jennifer Lopez, showed up to support, as well as grandma Guadalupe Rodríguez and former step-sibling Samuel.
Emme, 18, and Ben Affleck’s 14-year-old son were pictured chatting in photos obtained by Page Six on Friday.
Emme’s twin brother, Max, was also present at the ceremony.
The guest of honor was all smiles at the Los Angeles event in a tan suit, while Max rocked an all-black ensemble.
Reps for Anthony and Lopez did not immediately respond to Page Six’s requests for comment regarding his absence.
Along with the twins, Anthony has five other children, most recently welcoming son Marco, 2, with wife Nadia Ferreira.
The couple announced in January that they are expecting baby No. 2.
Anthony also shares daughter Arianna, 32, and son Chase, 35, with ex Debbie Rosado Rosado, as well as sons Cristian, 25, and Ryan, 22, with Dayanara Torres.
Emme and Max, meanwhile, are Lopez’s only two children. The teens were born in 2008, three years before their parents called it quits.
Lopez went on to marry Affleck in 2022 — and since splitting in 2024, the exes have kept in contact with each other’s children.
The “Argo” actor, notably, shares Samuel, Violet, 20, and Seraphina, 17, with ex-wife Jennifer Garner.
Most recently, Lopez was spotted shopping with Sam in September 2025.
The “Air” actor, for his part, brought Emme and Max to the premiere of his action/thriller “The Accountant” last year.
At the time, Affleck gushed to Entertainment Tonight, “The kids are here, Jen’s kids are here. I’m very, very excited. I love when all the kids come out.”
He called Lopez “spectacular” at the April 2025 red carpet — and praised her for being “great” to his children.
The Oscar winner raved about the twins at the time, calling them “wonderful.”
The evening before Emme’s graduation, Lopez got emotional talking about the next steps during a “Jimmy Kimmel Live!” interview.
The “Office Romance” star confessed she has been “crying for two months.”
However, the hitmaker’s main mission is to see the twins “be happy and go where they want to go and do what they want to do.”
She did joke, “They’re going to realize that their dorms are too small and they’re going to miss home. I hope they’ll want to come back real soon. That’s my plan.”
Lopez explained that while people have asked whether the kids leaving will be “terrible,” she thinks it will be “great” since “they have big dreams.”
