The offspring of Jennifer Lopez and her cadaverous mate, Marc Anthony, are this week’s cover babies on People Magazine. The new issue hits newsstands tomorrow, featuring a very made-up and airbrushed Lopez and her two sleeping babies, Max and Emme. Inside the mag are “intimate portraits” of the diva and the newborns in their nursery. I am sorry to report that the two darlings look exactly like their father. But hey– that could change in a matter of weeks, given how quickly newborns change and grow, so no need to panic just yet.
This week’s issue of PEOPLE, on newsstands Friday, features 12 pages of new photos of the pop star with husband Marc Anthony and their 1-month-old bundles of joy inside their Long Island home and nursery.
The happy new parents spoke candidly to PEOPLE about the pregnancy, addressing everything from Jennifer’s weight gain to rumors of infertility. For all the details, pick up the new issue, on newsstands Friday.
Journalist/kiss-ass to the stars Peter Castro, who interviewed the couple for People, said in a promotional video that JLo gained 45 pounds during the pregnancy and though she has lost a lot of it, she is in no rush to get back to her pre-baby weight and is concentrating on motherhood. Pardon me if I call bullshit on that. Those late-pregnancy photos tend to suggest that JLo gained considerably more than 45 pounds- girlfriend was HUGE! He added that when JLo first took a positive pregnancy test, she didn’t believe it and sent out one of her assistants to the drugstore to buy more pregnancy tests.
Castro also revealed that even though the couple has two nurses, two assistants and a butler, the couple “does a lot of the work themselves” with the babies. Riiiiight. Anyway, the world can breathe a sigh of relief now that the twins have been revealed. Congrats to the new parents.
they look like Marc, cute kids
yes they look like Marc but babies change their looks alot over the course of the first year. And I see Emme has inherited her mothers butt.
I can’t lie. If I had her money, I’d have nurseries and nannies out the ying yang.
The kids are cute, marc anthony is hot to me, always has been and while this issue may not sell huge amounts the People en Espanol issue will bring in beaucoup amounts of money.
I forgot to mention I would never ever name my children after a cartoon. It is terribly difficult for me to believe they coincidentally picked out these names without knowing about Dragon tales.
Methinks Marc, who loves his privacy gave them a false publicity name. I would almost bet these are not their names.
I call BS on doing everything themselves, also. Congratulations to thm on their new children…on the flip side, doing everything doesn’t mean you are the one to feed the baby in the middle of the night. She has money, admit you have help, not sure what the big deal is. I’d have help to and now she is going to be under fire for these comments.
I’m sorry but JLo makes me sick!
She has butlers and maids and cooks to take care of any housework that is needed, so she doesn’t spend her time doing that.
What the hell does she need 2 nurses for?
Also, I’m assuming skeletor is home most of the time, so what the hell is he doing?
I can just imagine these two self absorbed idiots sitting around the house talking about what great parents they are, while the twins get bathed and put to bed by the nurses.
I have two biological kids and raised two stepsons from the time they were babies. I wouldn’t trade one minute of sleep deprivation, poopy diapers or crying in the middle of the night for all the money, nurses and butlers in the world. Those are the experiences that make you a real parent. Those little moments you share, rocking them to sleep or hugging them after a diaper change; I would be devastated if some hired help got to see those and not me.
Amen MSat!!!
I am sorry but her babies DO NOT look cute. This is what happens to pretty women who breed with ugly men.
“breed”? Yikes!
Hooray for babies (thats the most positive thing I can think of)
I second that, bodhi! (And your ‘breed’ yikes).
My twins are 3 months & I would love love love to have someone there cooking dinner, doing the dishes & cleaning my house but I would not want anyone else taking care of my girls.
She had to gain more than 45 pounds but at least it was all over. I gained 50 pounds & it was all belly. I lost 35 of it when they were born and still working on it – belly fat is hard to lose!
I think the babies are beautiful and she looks beautiful. Can someone explain to me why there is so much hate directed toward Marc? granted he is not the best looking guy in the world, but he has an amazing voice and prior to J-LO he had a HUGE female following due to the beautiful ballads he sang and he is still considered a major star in the Latino community.
I like to consider myself objective & I mean no disrespect but C’mon ppl who wldnt mind having that extra hand?I personally dont have any opinions of j/lo meaning I dnt like her nor do I dislike her. Its good that you enjoy doing EVERY aspect of motherhood but consider this: not everyone feels the same way.
I agree. Just because a parent has help with housework or raising a child does not make them any less of good parents. As much as I would love my children, if I had J.LO’s money I would never have to wake up in the middle of the night changing and feeding them, I would let the nannies (or the father)to it for me. You all would do the same.
They are some ‘Marc-lookin’ babies, but I think they’re beautiful. MSat has a great comment that all the stress of parenting is what makes you a real parent….but it’s incredibly exhausting getting up in the night, being barfed on, pooped on, and all that. Crazy little curtain climbers….wouldn’t trade the experience for anything!
I fear they do look like Marc now, but hopefully they will change. They are still beautifully healthy babies and she seems happy with them, so it’s all good.
I hope no one took my comment as a slap at them as parents. I think they can be great parents. I just think that it would have been (still would be) great having someone to do laundry, cook meals, hell, answer the door when I was too tired from taking care of babies all night. To me, doing it all yourself means the good and bad, laundry, feeding, diapers, cooking for everyone, etc. I hate when people say they do it all, yet it is obvious they have some sort of help. BTW, sorry for the errors in my earlier comment…was still getting my morning coffee infusion 🙂
I didn’t find your comment offensive at all, cc…I understand what you’re saying. Even if they actually did all the work of caring for the babies (which I doubt), who’s doing the cleaning, laundry, cooking, etc. that most new parents also have to cope with? It must be wonderful to have money when you have babies. And I too would have hired help in a hot second if I’d been able.
To be fair, even Shiloh looked ugly when she was just born but unlike Shiloh I pretty much doubt that JLO’s kids will grow up to look very attractive.
I just couldn’t possibly care less about J Lo or her husband. She’s irrelevant, but pretending like she’s not. I think their marriage is a sham and everything’s about publicity for her. She’s so fake.
Oh bless their little hearts, they look just like Skeletor. Shame. Oh well.
There is nothing wrong with hiring “help”, but the word help implies that you are doing something.
When you have no house work, cooking, laundry, etc to do, all that is left is to care for and raise your children. When you have nannies/nurses on top of all the other “help”, what exactly are you doing?
Holding babies and playing with them for a while does not make you a parent. That makes you an aunt/uncle. Being a parent involves being there when the child wakes up with a nightmare, or is hungry, or is learning to potty train. It’s the little everyday things, that yes are sometimes tiring and annoying, that make a special bond with your child.
Most children of famous/wealthy people who are raised by nannies will say as adults that they were closer to their nannies then their parents. Example-Tori Spelling said this in her recent book.
I just don’t understand why people have kids if they have no intention of being the primary caregivers.
Exactly, CinPin!
I don’t know if that is the case with JLo, although it would not surprise me in the least. She did say in the People interview that she has learned very quickly to move to the side while changing the baby boy. She said she’s been sprayed a couple of times– anyone who’s had a baby boy knows what I mean!
Really, are there any new parents out there who can honestly say they wouldn’t take some extra help if it was offered on a silver platter? We all love our children, but please, those nights when your sleep is constantly interrupted because your little one is teething, just imagine having a nanny come along in the morning and take them to the park so you can sleep in and then enjoy your coffee in bed with the paper… And if I never had to clean my own bathrooms again, I’d be the happiest woman on the planet! Cooking my own food, I can handle, because I love to cook… But some days, the idea of being rich enough to afford a housekeeper and nanny sounds like a little bit of heaven to me.
I had a hungry 9 lb 12 oz baby boy who nursed every 2 hours for 10 weeks and suffered terrible colic (screaming after his feedings). We figured out later that he was over-nursing because he had acid reflux (babies will sometimes over-nurse because the milk cools the burn, but it just causes them to be up screaming again shortly later). At 10 weeks I thought I was gonna die. I would have gladly taken the help and should I have another child, I’ll hire someone – I don’t care if I have to borrow money from my 401K, it’s worth it not to be exhausted and feel like becoming a parent was a big mistake – because that’s about how I felt. Don’t get me wrong, parenting since then has been a joyful journey – my little guy is now almost four and he is the best thing that ever happened to me – but when I recall those early days of having a newborn, for me it was like a pit of despair. I would never frown on anyone who gets some help because I would rather a child be raised by a nanny than a frustrated, angry, exhausted, short-tempered parent like I was. Sad but true.
ooooohh nooooo, two little skeletors. pray they change. Other than that, I am super happy for them.
I had four-hour-a-day help starting when my daughter was five months old, but that was mainly so that I could get some paying work-from-home done. It was nice to know she was out with a truly loving person in the fresh air, meeting other kids while I worked. I’m so glad I’ve been here for her every day of her life. But I also like the idea that household help would be for cleaning and making a couple of meals a week so that the parents can just focus on child-rearing. I know people who have done that — lucky, rich people — and they claimed it worked well.
I am sorry but her babies DO NOT look cute. This is what happens to pretty women who breed with ugly men.
————————
I totally agree. Considering that their dad is one of the living dead, the babies look ok.
I have been laughing for the last 20 minutes with that Skeletor comment. I even interupted my husband and son watching tv, they also think it was a blast. I dont feel anything for Marc, because what he did to his last wife was shit. And of course JLO has the divorced sealed and the EX couldnt comment or else she wouldnt get anything……so I dont care for either one. Poor babies….
I can’t stand Jello or Skeletor, but I think the babies are beautiful.
Too bad they have two assholes for parents.
lol. cute kids.
hey mama . . . you wanna get knocked up again.
I think rich people have always had nurses and nannies to bring up their children, so I’m not surprised by that. In the Victorian times children would have a Governess who taught them everything and a nanny who looked after them. The parents were parents in name only.
It’s a shame the babies are a bit ugly though. They’ve got sort of… evil, thin faces. Jennifer looks gorgeous though.
I really can’t believe how many people are posting such hateful things about newborns. There’s something wrong with people who don’t see the beauty in all newborn babies.
JLO and her husband are attention whore idiots but how can you write such mean things about innocent babies?
they look like…babies! How very fascinating.
they are all UGLY!
“How can you write such horrible things about innocent babies?”
Well let’s see, their parents are whoring them out at the ripe old age of one month. How much do you think the parents got for the photos? When you do this stuff on purpose you have to know that people will have an opinion about the photos, in this case it’s their twins. AND they do look like Marc, need I say more??! Also, both of them did mess up other people in more than one of their relationships so Marc and Jennifer can just suck an egg.
As a nanny, I have had the chance to work with a few famous mommies (1 being a diva). I have to say, they were all adoring, loving, very hands-on mommies. For one a-list mother, she actually made me feel useless. I couldn’t quite figure out what she needed me for. Besides washing the baby bottles & taking the baby for walks… she did everything! All she needed was a few hours sleep in the morning! (2-3 hours tops). This diva mom also had a night baby nurse, but spent most nights awake with the baby nurse! Before I started my position with this mom, I was fearing the worst. To my surprise, she turned out to be the complete opposite!
Don’t believe everything you hear. Take it from someone who has worked for some of these a-list mamas. The ones you least expect, are the ones that are super hands on.
JLo and Marc are both f-retards and let’s be honest Mack is nasty looking and his twins look like him so that makes them extremely ugly they got whipped twice with the ugly stick but the good news is that their parents got money so they still have some hope !!!
she is a happy mother and two beatiful babys they look wow.
I think this is so sad. People keep making fun of the twins looks. It is not their fault they are homely!
