J.Lo Gives Birth To A Boy And Girl
Jennifer Lopez gave birth to twins early Friday, making the singer and husband Marc Anthony the parents of a boy and a girl after one of pop music's most closely watched pregnancies.
She's thrilled," Lopez's manager, Simon Fields, told The Associated Press. He said the babies were born "just after midnight this morning."
Fields confirmed that the girl arrived first, weighing 5 pounds, 7 ounces. "Her boy is 6 pounds even and arrived about 15 minutes later" at a Long Island hospital, he said. The location was not identified.
"This is something Jennifer Lopez and Marc Anthony have wanted for a very, very long time," People Executive Editor and Early Show entertainment contributor Jess Cagle said on the show Friday.
Photos: Celebrities & Their Twin Babies
Asked about reports People was offering $6 million for the first photos of the twins, Cagle laughed and said, "I think it is untrue, and I am not at liberty to talk about the baby photos. ... I do not get involved in any kind of negotiationslike that, so I'm blissfully ignorant."
Ending months of speculation, Lopez confirmed her pregnancy at a Miami concert in November. Her father, David Lopez, told Telefutura's "Escandalo TV" earlier this month that the 39-year-old singer was expecting twins.
Lopez and Antony, 38, married in 2004. Her hits include "If You Had My Love" and "Jenny from the Block"; his singles include "I Need to Know." Both have recorded in both English and Spanish.
The twins are her first children, and his fourth and fifth. He has two sons (Cristian, 8, and Ryan, 4) from his first marriage to former Miss Universe Dayanara Torres. He also has a teen daughter from a previous relationship.
Torres congratulated the new parents privately, but has no plans to comment publicly on the subject, her publicist Jennifer Nieman said.
