It sounds like the fake belly bump Jennifer Lopez is wearing for her new movie The Back-Up Plan is giving her some ideas.

The singer-actress admits that she and her husband Marc Anthony would like to give their 18-month-old twins Emme and Max a sibling or two. “I would love to have more kids,” the actress tells Extra. “I don’t know if we will. I don’t know if that’s in the cards for us – but we’ll see.”

Lopez, who turns 40 on Friday, also opens up about the joys of watching her twins grow up. “They’re more than walking now … They’re starting to talk,” she says. “I put Max to bed yesterday … and I said, ‘I love you baby. I’ll see you tomorrow.’ And he was like, ‘I love you.’ ”

Speaking of love, Lopez can’t say enough about the positive effects of motherhood. “You just mature so quickly in such a deep way and you think life is short and you have to just go for things. You can’t be afraid to try or do you best … just do it and that’s the example I want to set for my children as well. It’s like you can do anything. The only thing that ever holds us back is fear… It’s a useless emotion.”

International superstar Jennifer Lopez wears many hats, but “designer” is one she is currently hanging back up in the closet in the US.

According to Women’s Wear Daily, the singer/actress is temporarily stopping production of her fashion label Sweetface during these troubled economic times.

“In light of new company strategies, we have decided to put the Sweetface line on hiatus while we prepare to reintroduce the brand in the near future with new messaging points and an entirely new fashion point of view,” a spokesperson for the 6-year-old high-end brand said in a statement on June 24.

But the mom of 16-month-old twins Emme and Max isn’t fading from the spotlight- Jennifer is currently filming her latest flick, The Back-Up Plan, and recently announced that she’s working on a hot new album. In addition, JLO by Jennifer Lopez line is still for sale in foreign stores.
