Jennifer Lopez is Having Twins
If you were planning on buying baby gifts for Jennifer Lopez, you’d better make sure they come in pairs. According to her father, she’s having twins.
That’s right, Jennifer and her hubby Marc Anthony are expecting twins. And it turns out, it’s a hereditary thing for the “Waiting For Tonight” singer.
David Lopez, Jen’s father, told press, “Yes, twins. The thing is in my family, my sister also had twins, so it’s a hereditary thing. I’m very proud. Jennifer has yearned to be a mother for many years,”
And if you’re searching all over for what to get the Lopez-Anthony little ones, David has a suggestion. “In Puerto Rico it’s custom to buy an azabache [black stone] bracelet for babies to protect them from the evil eye, it’s part of our culture.”
Jennifer Lopez Plans Trip Back To Her Roots
Jennifer Lopez Plans Trip Back To Her Roots
It’s always nice to hear a story about a rich and famous celebrity that decides to give back to the people from her past. And Jennifer Lopez and her husband Marc Anthony are planning to do just that.
J. Lo is scheduled to make an appearance in the Bronx borough of New York City this coming Tuesday. She will speak to children at Public School 36, which just happens to be down the street from her alma mater the Holy Family School.
The “Waiting for Tonight” singer will be supporting ING’s “Run for Something Better” campaign, which promotes an increase in school exercise programs. Along with making a personal appearance, the Lopez-Anthony tour will be donating $1 from each ticket sold.
And the buzz around PS 36 is deafening. Kids of all grades are gearing up for the visit, making signs and spreading the word. “Everyone is truly excited about this,” said the principal. “The best part for me is that the children will have a memory that will last forever.”
Jennifer Lopez: Who Didn’t Know I Was Pregnant?
Jennifer Lopez is amazed Friends were surprised when she finally unleashed the big secret and announced she was pregnant.
“I kind of feel like everybody knew anyway,” the singer tells Harper’s Bazaar for its February issue. “I was on tour with a bubble gut!”
The glowing singer, with Marc Anthony at her side onstage, told the crowd during her final Miami concert Nov. 8: “Marc and I are expecting a baby!”
Having ducked the entire issue of the pregnancy for weeks, including when she appeared the previous month on TV with Diane Sawyer and with David Letterman, Lopez, 38, speaking on behalf of herself and Anthony, 39, now says, “I do realize Friends want to know because they’re interested, but this is the first time I’m going through this. This is my experience and my husband’s experience, and we get to hold that for a little while.”
She adds, “We’re just getting used to the fact that we’ve told everybody.”
Still, when it comes to her privacy, “I’m just feeling too protective to open that door right now,” says Lopez. “It’s a Pandora’s box. It’s a destructive lifestyle to be out there. I know because I’ve lived it. Being on the cover of the tabloids every day for two years – it’s hard. You start forgetting who you really are inside.”
And her husband? “Marc is a really private person, and he’s been singing onstage since he was really young. He made me realize you can be an artist, and have credibility and success, without your life being on public display 24 hours a day.”
Looks Forward to Time Off
She is aware that the Lopez-Anthony baby will be of tremendous interest to paparazzi, but the infant “will be whatever we are,” she says. “Private when it comes to that stuff.”
Once the baby arrives, there is the matter of taking time off. Asked how long that will be, Lopez answers, “I don’t know – and I like that, because my life has been so planned for so many years. Once I did the tour, I really just wanted to shut it down, and since then I’ve had to do three things, including a video. It may not sound like a lot, but you know, as this point, any woman can sympathize. It is a lot. I was ready just to sit.”
