Jennifer Lopez gave birth to twins early this morning, her pulicist released details to the public shortly after the birth. She had a girl weighing in at 5 lbs. 7 oz. at 12:12 am, and a boy at 12:23 am who weighed 6 lbs. There is no word yet on what their names are of if they’ve already been named. The newborns are the first for Lopez, 38, and the fourth and fifth for Anthony, 39, who has three children two boys from his first marriage, Cristian, 6, and Ryan, 4 and 1/2, and one daughter, Arianna, 13, from a girlfriend before his first wife. The news came out on Wednesday that Lopez had checked into her suite at Northshore Hospital in Long Island. The couple went public with the baby news during a concert in Miami, Florida late last year. Lopez' father confirmed to the press that his daughter was expecting twins last month. A close friend of the family told PEOPLE Magazine that, "She is so happy right now. Everything is wonderful. She is beyond thrilled to become a mom," says the friend. "She is over the moon." And the same goes for Anthony: "Here he is – he got the girl of his dreams and now she's the mother of his children."And, after wanting to be a mother for a long time, adds the friend, "This is a turning point in Jennifer's life. It's a dream come true. She loves those babies."
