Jennifer Lopez gave birth to twins

Actress and pop singer Jennifer Lopez gave birth to twins early Friday (Feb. 22, 2008), a boy and a girl.

The twins are the first children for Lopez and the fourth and fifth for her husband, salsa star Marc Anthony.

"Jennifer and Marc are delighted, thrilled and over the moon," Lopez's manager told People magazine.

The twins were born at about 12:45 a.m. on Long Island, New York, a five pound seven ounce baby girl followed about 10 minutes later by a six pound baby boy.

Lopez had finally confirmed Nov. 7 that she was expecting.

After months a speculation and coy hints, the entertainer made the announcement during a concert in Miami.

"Marc and I are expecting," said J.Lo during the last stop on a joint North American concert tour with Anthony.

After the announcement, Anthony shrugged his shoulders, caressed his wife's stomach, then leaned over and kissed her belly.

"I didn't know she was going to talk," he told the crowd. The two were married in 2004.

Born July 24, 1969, in Castle Hill "Bronx," New York , Lopez began her career as a dancer, appearing in stage musicals and various music videos. In 1990, she won a national competition and earned a spot dancing on the popular Fox comedy television series, "In Living Color," as one of the "Fly Girls." A series of small acting jobs followed, including parts in two more series and a TV movie, Nurses on the Line: The Crash of Flight 7, in 1993. Lopez's first feature film was the critically acclaimed Mi Familia, or My Family, in 1995. She also appeared in Money Train (1995), opposite Wesley Snipes and Woody Harrelson, and in Jack (1996), directed by Francis Ford Coppola and starring Robin Williams.
