Jennifer Lopez: 'I see my twins via webcam'

Jennifer Lopez has insisted that she "hates" being apart from her children.

The 40-year-old actress, who recently admitted that she would like more children with singer Marc Anthony, has said that she constantly stays in touch with her 18-month-old twins Max and Emme with the help of a webcam when she's working.

Lopez told Hello!: "I hate being away from them. But we have devised this thing where I can see them from the computer.

"I call up on the web camera so I can see the babies when I’m away and just look at them. It’s so sweet. My son just stares at the camera and looks. Then my daughter starts crying when she sees me on the screen."

She added: "She holds out her arms to me and gets very upset. It breaks my heart if I’m away from them, even for a short time."

Lopez and Anthony have been married since 2004.
