Jennifer Lopez Delivers Twins

The heartthrob of millions, the singing and acting sensation, Jennifer Lopez hits the news headlines again, but this time not with a chartbuster. The 38-year-old singer is the proud new mother of twins, a boy and a girl.

Lopez and husband Marc Anthony are blessed with the double baby joy on early Friday morning. The babies were delivered in a Long Island, New York hospital. The girl was born at 12:12 a.m. and weighed 5 lbs. 7 oz., and younger brother followed at 12:23 a.m., weighing 6 lbs.

"Jennifer and Marc are delighted, thrilled and over the moon," Lopez's manager Simon Fields said.

The newly born twins are the first children for Jennifer, while her 39-year-old salsa singer husband Anthony already has three children from two previous relationships.

After months of speculation Lopez confirmed her pregnancy at a Miami concert in November. Earlier this month, Lopez' father David had confirmed the singer and actress is pregnant with twins.

Born in the Bronx on July 24, 1970, Lopez always wanted to be a performer. Her dance moves, overwhelming stage presence, and soon-to-be-famous Latina curves were the stuff of talent agents' dreams.

She made her acting debut with the title role in the feature film Selena, for which she scored a Golden Globe Best Actress nomination. Drawing a paycheck of $1 million for the movie she became the highest-paid Latina actress in history.

Her music debut came with ‘On The 6’.The album reached the Billboard 200, top ten charts.

The multifaceted performer then took to entrepreneurship. Lopez owns two clothing lines, JLO by Jennifer Lopez and Sweetface that offer stylish wear for young women. Married twice before, singer Marc Anthony is her third husband. Lopez and Anthony got married in a secret wedding on June 5, 2004.
