Jennifer Lopez's dad has confirmed rumours that the singer is expecting twins.

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."
