Lopez announced in November that she was pregnant with husband Marc Anthony following weeks of speculation. She was reported to be carrying twins after ordering matching baby supplies for a boy and girl.
Her father David told Latino show Escándalo TV that the rumours were true, saying: "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."
He added that he had already bought presents for the new arrivals, saying: "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."
