Jennifer Lopez becomes mother of twins 22nd Feb 2008
18.24 IST
Pop diva and Hollywood actress Jennifer Lopez on Friday gave birth to twins – a boy and a girl.
People magazine quotes Lopez’s representative Simon Fields as saying that the babies were born shortly after midnight on Long Island in New York.
Reportedly, the girl (weighing a little over 5 pounds) came first at 12.12 am. The 6-pound boy was born minutes later. Both babies are said to be in healthy condition.
Lopez married singer-musician husband Marc Anthony four years ago. The twins are her first children. Marc, however, already has a daughter from an ex-girlfriend, and two kids from previous marriage with a former Miss Universe.
Simon Fields told People magazine: "Jennifer and Marc are delighted, thrilled and over the moon."
Though the names of the kids have not been finalized they are rumoured to be Emmie and Max.
Jennifer’s pregnancy was a subject of much speculation last year. It was at a Miami concert in November last year that Lopez and Anthony confirmed to their fans that they were expecting their first child together.
