Jennifer Lopez is Expecting Twins

It was recently revealed Jennifer and Marc are planning to call their unborn twins Max and Emme.

Jennifer Lopez's father has confirmed the star is expecting twins. The 'Do It Well' singer - who is married to singer Marc Anthony and is due to give birth this month – will follow in her aunt's footsteps by having two babies at once.

David Lopez told Escándalo TV: "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."

David, who comes from Puerto Rico, has already bought traditional gifts for his unborn grandchildren. He said: "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 sparked rumours she was expecting twins by purchasing matching pink and blue romper suits embroidered with the words "prince" and "princess".  It was recently revealed Jennifer and Marc are planning to call their unborn twins Max and Emme, after J.Lo's mother Guadalupe was seen buying engraved gold bracelets in New York.

A source said: "The day before J.Lo's baby shower, Guadalupe picked up two gold-rope baby ID bracelets engraved with the names Max and Emme from a jewellers in New York."
