NEW YORK — 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.

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 Anthony, 38, married in 2004. The twins are her first children, and his fourth and fifth.

Well, good luck, Jennifer. Marc seems to quickly lose interest in women who bear children (as the photo of him seems to show). Even when the man is smiling he looks so sad!

I hope they don't name the kids Dakota and MacKenzie. Or Peyton and Dexter.
Oh, I forgot....those are left-over faddish names from the 1990's!

I just hope it is a good while before she learns that "your parents ruin the first half of your life, and your kids ruin the second half!" Hah!

To me, the only thing that I found newsworthy here is that Marc Anthony is 38 years old. He must be living a very difficult life or doing alot of drugs.

To me the biggest news here is that Marc Anthony is 38 years old. He must be living a pretty hard life. With those looks, I thought he was at least 10 years older.

Wonder if they look like daddy? You know, like a crack head.

This just proves the point that having kids is so 3rd world.

Hardly likely since he'd never do that with a girl.

Sadly, they could name one child Hamburger and the other Frenchfries, and next year those names will be the most popular in the world.
