• Pregnant Lopez stuns at New York Fashion Week
Jennifer Lopez stunned the stylish at New York City Fashion Week on Wednesday by showing off her baby bump in a breathtaking teal Marchesa dress. Despite reports she’s ready to deliver twins at any moment, Lopez couldn’t stay away from the catwalk and braved the big freeze in the Big Apple to attend the Marchesa show. She said: “I’m feeling good. I haven’t gone out a lot for the past few months, but Marchesa has been incredibly good to me. They are just amazing!” And the ever-fashion conscious star admitted she simply cannot pull off the sweatpants look that other mums-to-be adopt just before they go into labour. She added: “People make fun of me because when I do have them over to my house I do have a dress on. I don’t like the way the sweats look with the extra weight.” Lopez’s father, David, confirmed his daughter was expecting twins during an interview with a Spanish-language news show on Monday.
• Marc Anthony eager, excited to become father
Marc Anthony is eager and excited about his new babies. Anthony, whose wife Jennifer Lopez is expecting twins, said he can’t wait for the star to give birth. Anthony said, “I’m so excited to be a daddy. What’s not to be excited about?” Lopez is expected to deliver the babies later this month, and said she finds her baby bump makes it difficult to choose an oufit for New York Fashion Week. “For the size I am right now, I’m still kind of slim through the front - which is crazy,” Lopez, 38, said. “I tried on some things, and some things just make you look like you’re wearing a tent. But this dress I chose in the end is very cute. And it has pockets and the whole thing.” She also finds it difficult to abide by doctors’ advice to rest, and rather prefers to keep busy. At the Marchesa fashion show, Lopez told People magazine, “Right now the best thing I can do for myself, for my body, is to keep resting which is not easy for me. “I like keeping busy and it is very hard because if they say, ‘Be off your feet for four hours a day.’ I’m like, ‘Oh my God.’ It’s just so hard.”
