Jennifer Lopez has taken her newborn baby twins home from hospital, according to US reports. The singer, who is being dubbed "J Glow" now that she is a mum, checked out of the New York medical facility where she gave birth yesterday. Lopez was released a little more than three days after becoming a mum. Meanwhile, her friend, film producer Elaine Goldsmith-Thomas has told how delighted Lopez is at being a mum. Ms Goldsmith-Thomas, who produced romantic comedy Maid in Manhattan, told US magazine People:

"She sounds very peaceful and happy and blissful. She said, 'I can't take my eyes off them'."

The couple, who have been married for more than three years, welcomed their new additions, a girl, followed by a boy, shortly after midnight on Friday morning. The 5-pound 7-ounce girl and 6-pound boy were born about 11 minutes apart. They are the first children for Lopez, but Latin music star Anthony has three children from previous relationships. Ms Goldsmith-Thomas added further:

"She and Marc are so ready for a family. They love each other so much and built this beautiful life together. It feels like the only thing missing were these children, and now they have them. She really enjoyed her pregnancy. She has been nesting. And she has been resting, which is different for her.She has really found a balance - before, it was a massive amount of work. Now she is so excited about these babies. Marc and Jennifer are twice blessed and they couldn't be happier."

Lopez is due to start filming movie "Love and Other Possible Pursuits" later this year. Pictures by Splash News / ST
