Jennifer Lopez’s Dad Confirms Twins

In a Hollywood where no one does anything but have babies these days, it's really not that surprising that J.Lo and hubby Skeletor would be expecting twins. After all, Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt are too, right (though they're apparently trying to stay low key about it)? Jenny is rumored to be scheduled for a C-section next week, so hopefully it won't be long before we see her two new bundles of joy! Showbiznews shares more:

The rumors are true, confirmed by no less a source than her father: Jennifer Lopez is expecting twins.

And it isn’t even a Lopez family first.

“Yes, twins,” her dad David Lopez said in an interview on the Spanish-language show Escándalo TV, PEOPLE en Español reports. “The thing is in my family, my sister also had twins, so it’s a hereditary thing.”

For David Lopez, the news means double the excitement.

“I’m very proud. Jennifer has yearned to be a mother for many years,” he said.

And he already has gifts ready for his 38-year-old daughter’s babies.

“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,” he said.

As she became noticeably pregnant, J-Lo finally announced last November that she and Marc Anthony were expecting.
