Jennifer Lopez: we’ve got a nanny now but I still live for the babies

Jennifer Lopez has revealed she and husband Marc Anthony have hired a nanny so she can start to get back to work.

Jennifer gave birth to the couple’s twins Max and Emme in February and the pair looked after the babies themselves for the first six months - but now she’s told People magazine: “I did it for a long time but we started using a nanny a few weeks ago.

“[Most days] I get up early with them. Then when the nanny comes, I can take a shower and give them their breakfast. She’s there to help me get things done.

“I’ll do a little work with the choreographers and then come back. I try to spend every free moment with the babies.

“When they see you and have that big smile on their face - I live for that. And when I put them to bed at night and they melt in your arms.

“I give them a bottle and wind it down. I say, ‘It’s time for beddy-bye.’ I hold them and sing a little song. By the time you know it, they are asleep.”
