Jennifer Lopez & Marc Anthony Welcome Twins!

It's double the baby joy for Jennifer Lopez and husband Marc Anthony: They're the proud new parents of twins, a boy and a girl, Lopez's rep tells PEOPLE exclusively.

The babies were born at 12:45 a.m. ET on Friday in Long Island, N.Y., says her rep, Simon Fields.

They're the first children for Lopez, 38, and the fourth for Anthony, 39. The couple celebrated the impending births with a baby shower in New York on Jan. 19. "They were just beaming the entire time," said one partygoer.

Longtime friend Leah Remini calls Lopez, 38, "a born mom" and very nurturing. "With our daughter, she's so great. I mean, lets her go in her closet and play with her coats or her jewelry. She's just so giving and loving," Remini said. Celebs and Bubs
