Hollywood diva Jennifer Lopez gave birth to a boy and a girl early Friday, according to People magazine, which reportedly paid up to six million US dollars for exclusive photo rights of the newborn twins.

The twins are the first children for Lopez, 38, and the fourth and fifth for her husband, salsa star Marc Anthony. "Jennifer and Marc are delighted, thrilled and over the moon," Lopez's manager Simon Fields told the magazine.

The twins were born shortly after midnight in Long Island, New York. The girl weighed in at 2.5 kilograms (five pounds, seven ounces) followed about 10 minutes later by her 2.7-kilogram baby brother, it said.
