Emme Maribel Muñiz, 18, appeared to reveal a new public name in a resurfaced Instagram post after graduating from high school on Thursday.
The March 6 post from an account tied to college plans read, "Oskar to Sarah Lawrence!" and added that the student would be living in New York City. The post tagged an account that appears linked to Muñiz and drew an approving like from Jennifer Garner. A follow-up line on the account cheered, "Good thing it’s only a few hours away from Stagedoor. Go gryphons!! Congrats!!! 💚💛"
Those handful of words are the clearest public signal so far that Muñiz — who was pictured at a Los Angeles graduation event in a tan suit and attended the ceremony with twin brother Max and Samuel Affleck — may be stepping into college life under a different name. Jennifer Lopez attended the ceremony on Thursday, and on May 27 she told a late-night host, "All year people asked me, ‘They’re going away to college. It’s going to be terrible.’ No, it’s going to be great. I want them to go out there. I want them to do what they want to do. They have big dreams. They have things they want to do. It’s going to be great."
The post links three developments that matter at once: a possible change of name to Oskar Muñiz, a college destination — Sarah Lawrence — and a move to New York City. If the March post is accurate, emme maribel muñiz would be moving from Los Angeles to a college only a few hours from a prominent performing arts program referenced in the post, a common path for teens with a stage background.
Photographs from the graduation showed Muñiz at the ceremony; Max and Samuel Affleck were also present. Reported coverage of the event noted that Marc Anthony, Muñiz’s father, did not attend. That absence and the private nature of the resurfaced Instagram message have left the particulars thin: the account that posted the caption appears to be a college-plans aggregator, not an official school announcement.
The friction here is straightforward. Neither Muñiz nor Lopez has publicly commented on the Instagram post or on an apparent name change, leaving questions about whether "Oskar Muñiz" is an informal handle, a personal preference, or an official legal change. The post itself is the only publicly visible item tying Muñiz to Sarah Lawrence and to New York at this moment.
For now, the March caption is the strongest evidence available that the 18-year-old intends to begin college life in New York and may adopt the name shown there. The next concrete confirmations to watch for are enrollment details from Sarah Lawrence or a direct statement from Muñiz or Lopez; absent those, the Instagram post — liked by a fellow actor, noted by onlookers and timed months before the graduation — stands as the clearest public hint about how Muñiz plans to present themself as they move on from high school.
