Emme’s screen time must be sky-high.

Jennifer Lopez and her phone-distracted 15-year-old stepped out for a lunch date in Los Angeles on Tuesday.

The pair were spotted leaving Mauro Cafe, an upscale Italian restaurant on Melrose Ave.

Lopez, 53, wore an oversize cream-colored set featuring a zip-up jacket and trousers.

She kept her head down in a matching fedora and brown-tinted shades as she accessorized with layered gold necklaces, sparkly silver boots and a tiny white handbag.

Emme, meanwhile, rocked a “Hannibal” graphic tee with baggy denim jeans and black sneakers.

The teen, who uses gender-neutral pronouns, wore a pair of headphones around their neck and was glued to their phone while leaving the eatery.

Lopez shares Emme and their twin brother, Max, with her ex-husband Marc Anthony, to whom she was married from 2004 until 2014.


Since tying the knot with Ben Affleck in 2022, she has become a stepmom to the three children the Oscar winner, 50, shares with his ex-wife, Jennifer Garner: daughters Violet, 17, and Seraphina, 14, and son Samuel, 11.

The “Hustlers” star and Affleck, whom Garner divorced in 2018, recently stepped out with part of their blended family.

Violet, Samuel and Emme joined the couple for a day of shopping in the Hamptons over the Fourth of July holiday weekend.

Affleck’s eldest child even scored an invitation to billionaire Michael Rubin’s star-studded white party, where fans couldn’t believe how much she resembled her mom.

Lopez recently revealed that her twins “love” their stepdad, calling him a “wonderful father” and “father figure.”

“He’s fantastic. He really steps up to the challenge of what that is and what that means. And they love him, and they appreciate him, and so do I,” she told Hoda Kotb on the “Today” show in May.

The “Maid in Manhattan” actress also got candid about the challenges of parenting youngsters with rebellious sides.

“They’re becoming adults. They are challenging everything in life. They’re looking at everything,” she said.

When Kotb expressed that she believed her and Lopez’s generation “followed the rules” in comparison to younger generations, the Grammy nominee chimed in, “[Max and Emme] don’t!

“I think they’re going to change the world, to be quite honest — oh, and make it so much better, so much better than what we did.”
