Jennifer Lopez Becomes Mother of Twins

Early this morning, shortly after midnight, Jennifer Lopez gave birth to a boy and girl -twins - at Long Island.

They are Lopez's first children. She and her husband Marc Anthony were married in 2004. There had been gossip and rumour about her pregnancy, which she publicly confirmed last November during a Miami concert.

It was also announced by her husband earlier this month that twins were expected.

The parents are thrilled, as no doubt are all of J.Lo's fans.
