Jennifer Lopez is reflecting on parenthood ahead of Mother's Day on May 8.

"Becoming a mother completely changed my life," the 52-year-old of twins Max and Emme, 14, tells PEOPLE exclusively as part of her partnership with Coach's "I Got It from Mom" campaign, which launched Thursday.

Motherhood "made me not only reflect on the person I wanted to be for them, it also helped me appreciate all the gifts my own mother gave me," explains Lopez, who has been enjoying lots of family time with new fiancé Ben Affleck and his kids since they rekindled their relationship last year. "Today, I am so proud to pass on all the things I learned from her to my own kids."

Lopez and Coach also shared with PEOPLE several exclusive behind-the-scenes images from the photo shoot for "I Got It from Mom" photo shoot, which "celebrates the role mother figures play as mentors, muses and sources of style inspiration," according to a press release.
