The rumors are true, confirmed by no less a source than her father: Jennifer Lopez is expecting twins.

And it isn’t even a Lopez family first.

“Yes, twins,” her dad David Lopez said in an interview on the Spanish-language show Escándalo TV, PEOPLE en Español reports. “The thing is in my family, my sister also had twins, so it’s a hereditary thing.”

For David Lopez, the news means double the excitement.

“I’m very proud. Jennifer has yearned to be a mother for many years,” he said.

And he already has gifts ready for his 38-year-old daughter’s babies.

“In Puerto Rico it’s custom to buy an azabache [black stone] bracelet for babies to protect them from the evil eye, it’s part of our culture,” he said.

As she became noticeably pregnant, J-Lo finally announced last November that she and Marc Anthony were expecting.

Jennifer Lopez reportedly plans to name her unborn twins Max and Emme.

Speculation on the names the singer and husband Marc Anthony have chosen for their son and daughter began after Jennifer’s mother Guadalupe was seen buying engraved gold bracelets in New York.

A source told Star magazine, “The day before J.Lo’s baby shower, Guadalupe picked up two gold-rope baby ID bracelets engraved with the names Max and Emme from a jewellers in New York.”

Meanwhile, a representative for the couple deny reports that Jennifer went into labor Tuesday.

Marc’s representative said, “It’s not true. We have been getting the same phone calls since last week. Everybody figures it is happening around now and they are hoping they will be right.”

Jennifer, 38, is expected to give birth next month at New York’s North Shore University Medical Center, in Manhasset.

The hospital has reportedly prepared a luxury suite for Jennifer, complete with soft furnishings, wooden flooring and giant flat screen TVs.

Rumors are swirling today that Jennifer Lopez has checked into North Shore University Medical Center.

Hospital officials denied that the Bronx-born superstar who is expecting twins was at the medical center. Two hospital sources, however, said she was “in the house” and had checked in under a false name.

Jennifer, 38, and her husband, the singer Marc Anthony, both live in Brookville and announced in November they were expecting. Rumors circulated throughout the medical center yesterday that Jennifer, who is reportedly due in the spring, was there.

But officials repeatedly denied she was at the hospital and a spokesperson for Jennifer could not immediately be reached for comment.

“She is not in the hospital,” said spokeswoman Adina Conn. “She is not here under a pseudonym.”

The parking lot was quiet at the hospital.

But visitors to the hospital in recent days have reported hearing staff talk about “the J.Lo room,” and ? no surprise ? it’s a little more lavish than what you find on the average maternity ward. The brand new room, probably located on the existing maternity floor, is said to feature wood flooring instead of standard issue hospital linoleum, and two flat screen TVs.

Jennifer is apparently having twins, a boy and a girl. And the mother-to-be has set up one of three nurseries at the Brookville home.

Baby boutique Petit Tresor was designing the nurseries on Long Island and in Los Angeles and Miami with “traditional sleigh cribs and Ultrasuede gliders from Europe,” as well as “silk and organza sheet sets” with the babies’ names embroidered on the linens “later on.” Says a source: “She’s very involved with everything. Her taste is very elegant … very luxurious.”

We’ll see!

Online reports that Jennifer Lopez is in labor are “not true,” Marc Anthony’s rep told Us magazine.

“It’s not true,” the rep told Us magazine. “We have been getting the same phone calls since last week. Everybody figures it is happening around now so they have started throwing out the story hoping they will be right and be the one to break the news but it isn’t yet.”

Jennifer and Marc have been married since June 2004. She is expecting twins, their first children together.

Jennifer Lopez is amazed that people were surprised when she finally announced that she was pregnant.

“I kind of feel like everybody knew anyway,” Jennifer told Harper’s Bazaar for its February issue. “I was on tour with a bubble gut!”

Jennifer, with Marc Anthony at her side onstage, told the crowd during her final Miami concert on November 8th: “Marc and I are expecting a baby!”

Having ducked the entire issue of the pregnancy for weeks, including when she appeared the previous month on TV with Diane Sawyer and with David Letterman, Jennifer, 38, speaking on behalf of herself and Marc, 39, now says, “I do realize people want to know because they’re interested, but this is the first time I’m going through this. This is my experience and my husband’s experience, and we get to hold that for a little while.”

She adds, “We’re just getting used to the fact that we’ve told everybody.”

Still, when it comes to her privacy, “I’m just feeling too protective to open that door right now,” says Jennifer. “It’s a Pandora’s box. It’s a destructive lifestyle to be out there. I know because I’ve lived it. Being on the cover of the tabloids every day for two years – it’s hard. You start forgetting who you really are inside.”

And her husband? “Marc is a really private person, and he’s been singing onstage since he was really young. He made me realize you can be an artist, and have credibility and success, without your life being on public display 24 hours a day.”

She is aware that her baby will be of tremendous interest to paparazzi, but the infant “will be whatever we are,” she says. “Private when it comes to that stuff.”

Asked how much time she will take off after the baby is born, Jennifer answers, “I don’t know – and I like that, because my life has been so planned for so many years. Once I did the tour, I really just wanted to shut it down, and since then I’ve had to do three things, including a video. It may not sound like a lot, but you know, as this point, any woman can sympathize. It is a lot. I was ready just to sit.”
