Pop star and actress Jennifer Lopez has given birth to twins, a boy and a girl. A spokesman for the American star and her singer husband, Marc Anthony, told People magazine that the babies were born in Long Island, New York and that their parents are incredible “thrilled”.
The girl was born at 12:12am and weighed 5lbs 7oz, with the boy following at 12.23am, weighing 6lbs. Lopez’s manager Simon Fields told People: "Jennifer and Marc are delighted, thrilled and over the moon."
The couple and the twins are Lopez’s first children.
The couple will reportedly receive $6 million from People for the first pictures of the twins. The magazine will publish the shots in America and Latin America while OK! Magazine is understood to have bought the international rights.
Despite widespread speculation, Lopez refused to confirm her pregnancy until November, when she announced she was expecting during a Miami concert.
The singer, of Puerto Rican descent, married Anthony, also Puerto Rican, in 2004, five months after ending her engagement to Hollywood actor Ben Affleck. She had previously wed waiter Ojani Noa in 1997, and dancer Cris Judd in 2001.
Anthony, who has enjoyed success in the US and Latin America, was previously married to one-time Miss Universe Dayanara Torres.
