Jennifer Lopez still remembers what it was like when she found out she was expecting twins.

See who else in Hollywood has twins!

"Well, I was in denial that I was even pregnant at first, so when I found out I was having twins, I just kind of laughed like, 'Of course this would happen!'" The Back-Up Plan star, 40, said at a press conference for the movie in Beverly Hills Tuesday. "And then I started giggling."

How did hubby Marc Anthony react?

"Marc started crying," she recalls. "It was a joyous time. We were happy... He's emotional! He just couldn't believe it was happening. He'd had children before and this was like a whole new, special experience."

Now that Max and Emme are two years old, Lopez tells UsMagazine.com that they are starting to realize when she has to leave to work -- and they don't like it.

"They're at the point now where they've come to the door and started yelling, 'No, no, Mommy, don't go!' And I was like, 'Whoa, this is bad,'" she tells Us. "That's really tough. So I'm just going to have to figure it out as I go along. I keep trying to explain to them, 'I'll be home and the sun will still be out!'"

Lopez, who plays a woman who decides to get artificially inseminated in her new flick, admits she wouldn't consider being a single mom in real life.

"It's just too hard!" Lopez says. "Honestly. I have so much respect for single moms or anyone who finds themselves a single mother -- but to choose to be a single parent is courageous. It's such a hard job to raise a child and to be everything to that child without a partner... I don't know if I could do it on my own, I really don't."

    We are not appointed judges, however; I truly believe what J.Lo and Marc Anthony lack moral concept, and proper etiquette. This type of behavior doesn't deserve to be rewarded the way it has. The media loves J.Lo and Marc together, and have rewarded them for their wrong. Dayannara, and her children were abandoned by Marc who took a sacred vow before the church and GOD. Although the BIBLE indicates God will judge the adulterers, it also indicates no immorality will enter the kingdom of heaven. They are yet to respond to GOD for their mistakes, and how they hurt two children, and Dayannara with their lack of self-control. J.Lo paraded around town promiscuously, and then mark gave up his wife to run to her when Ben A. broke up with her. J.Lo is a selfish inconsiderate person, what goes around comes around..she may feel she won, but in the end everything she's done will catch up w/her, and Marc. I hate to say it, I don't really like J.Lo, yes she's worked very hard, and is multi-talented, and beautiful, but has no real class. Sorry J.Lo, Dayannara has proven to be more of a lady, and I hope the LORD one day blesses her w/all the happiness you stole from her. Dayannara if you read this, all I can say girl...is if he walked out on you then he really is not worth it...keep your head up.

    Big deal I cried when I found out we were having twins too. But God blessed me with 2 beautiful daughters and in turn they blessed me with 6 wonderful grandchildren. See what you've got to look forward to.

    Rachelle Gomez, One Of These Days Dayanara Torres Is Going To Come Forward And Talk. She's Been Too Silent For Too Long!!! If J-Lo Is Granted Interviews, Then Dayanara Should Be Granted A Interview As Well. J-Lo Has Been Talking Too Much!!!!!!!!!!!!

    She couldn't on her own.... Doesn't think she could. So selfish ... What about Marc's ex wife Miss Universe Dayanara Torres Marc cheated on her with J-lo. And the she was left to care alone for her two small children

    What some of you may not understand, JLo is an international mega star. It ain't just about how you feel about her here. She is beloved in many parts of the world. I hope she can juggle work and kids. She deserves to experience motherhood. As for the marriage. No one can judge what goes on inside the marriage but those two. I pray she never has to find out what it is like to be a single mom. Marc Anthony may not look like such a big star and it may look like he is in her shadow, but like her, he is beloved throughout the entire spanish speaking world. BIG star out there. Hard enough to live in the public eye. Leave them alone. Why does everyone want to trash successful talented folks?

    what obviously they didn't realize when you have twins in your family your at a higher risk of having them yourself and then having children later in life also pre disposes you to twins because a woman releases more eggs each cycle as she gets older and Jen conceived in either may or June of 2007 at age 36 and had the twins at age 37 22nd February 2008 by C Section which is more common with mulitple birth cases

    Dear Well, I Don't Know If Marc Anthony Was Happy For His Other Kids. J-Lo Has Been Doing All Of The "Talking" While He Is Silent Or Out Of Sight. J-LO Knows That She Is Also The "Stepmother" Of Marc's Other Kids. One Of Her Stepkids Was In Her "Get Right" Video. She Was The One That Hid Under The Table At The Club. She's Not Just A Mom, She's A Stepmom As Well!!! I Really Believe That Marc Is Responsible For J-LO's Career Slump. Her Stock Went Way Down When He Married Her. He's Just Having His Cake And Eating It Too.

    Thanks Farris Flagg

  • April 02, 2010 - 10:03am well

  • April 02, 2010 - 12:31am Farris Flagg

    J-Lo Has Fans? Where They Go? To Other Artists Because Everybody Got Tired Of Her Talking About "Her" And Her Family. We Don't Hear Marc Talk And He's The Father. Not Everybody Is Hating On Her. There Are Alot Of People That Know How This Women Operates And Are Now Calling Her Out. "The Jennifer Lopez Show" Is Over!!!! Time To Focus On New Talent In 2010. That Is All!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Have A Good Day.

    I didn't even know she was pregent and i'm really happy for her!!! :) :) :) :)

  • April 01, 2010 - 4:00pm TO izz and all the haters

    Listen people, Jennifer Lopez has many fans. I am one of those fans. A die-hard fan at that! Dear Farris Flagg, you need to get your facts straight. Her Spanish album which was released in 2007 broke many latin music records. "El Cantante" was an independent film that was NOT released in all theaters. In 2007, she won an amnesty award for her role in 'Bordertown'. So get your facts straight you dirty bit*h. Izz, only because your man left your ugly ass for someone else, that does not give you the right to hate on an exotic beauty.. People stop hating because hating gets you nowhere. In fact, GET A LIFE.

    I guess that's what happens when you do invitro or take fertility drugs!

    And One More Thing ChicaPimp, We Are In Award Season!!!! And J-LO Has Been To The Grammys Before Sony Music Dropped Her And To The Oscars After She Was Dropped. We Are Not Going To "Stop The World" To Hear J-Lo Talk About Her Family. When You Slack Off, Other Music Artists And Movie Stars Will Move In On Your Audience. J-LO Slacked Off Because She Talked Too Much About Her.

  • March 31, 2010 - 9:04pm Farris Flagg.

    Hey ChicaPimp!!!! J-LO's Stock Went Down When She Married Marc. She Knew He Was A Married Man With 2 Kids. ( I Repeat-2 KIDS ) She Married Him The Day After He Got A Divorce In The Dominican Republic. Since Then Her Last 3 Films Including "El Cantante" Tanked At The Box Office. Her Last 3 Albums Tanked As Well. Her Next Album Was Supposed To Come Out This Past January But Was Pushed Back Because The Album Wasn't Done. So Sony Music Dropped Her Because They Wasn't Going To Spend One More Dime On A Artist That Lives By Their Own Hype. Nobody Cares About Jennifer Lopez Anymore!!!!!!!! She Stopped Doing Her Job When She Married Marc. He Told Her Something And Now She Doing All These Interviews About How Happy She Is. Why? "DAMAGE CONTROL"!!!!!!!!!

  • March 31, 2010 - 6:38pm ChicaPimp

    TO Izz she when she meant chhose to be a single mom she means artificIal insemination for women who choose not to wait for men to come into their lives. Idiot get it straight. P.S his marriage with his ex-wife was over long before JLO stepped in and truth be told he shoulda been with Jenny long ago they shoulda never broke up in the first place!

  • March 31, 2010 - 4:20pm Farris Flagg

    To Izz-Amen To That!!!!!!!!!!!! Her Career Is In Trouble And This Is "The Only Way" Out. Her Kids!!!! As For Marc Seeing Her Other Kids, That's A Good Question!!! MARC ANTHONY HAS 5 KIDS TOTAL PEOPLE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
