It’s double the baby joy for Jennifer Lopez and husband Marc Anthony: They’re the proud new parents of twins, a boy and a girl, Lopez’s manager tells PEOPLE exclusively.

The babies were born early Friday in Long Island, N.Y. The girl was born at 12:12 a.m. and weighed 5 lbs. 7 oz., and the boy followed at 12:23 a.m., weighing 6 lbs.

“Jennifer and Marc are delighted, thrilled and over the moon,” Lopez’s manager Simon Fields tells PEOPLE exclusively.

They’re the first children for Lopez, 38, and the fourth and fifth for Anthony, 39. The couple celebrated the impending births with a baby shower in New York on Jan. 19. “They were just beaming the entire time,” said one partygoer.

Longtime friend Leah Remini calls Lopez “a born mom” and very nurturing. “With our daughter, she’s so great. I mean, lets her go in her closet and play with her coats or her jewelry. She’s just so giving and loving,” Remini said.Lopez announced her pregnancy Nov. 8, telling the crowd during her final Miami concert: “Marc and I are expecting a baby!” The news of twins was finally confirmed by Lopez’s dad earlier this month, in an interview on Spanish-language television.

Jennifer Lopez and Marc Anthony are aiming sky high, when it comes to selling their twins’ baby pics to the tabloids.

Sources say that the couple will rake in anywhere between $4 million and $6 million for exclusive rights to the first snaps of their expected twins.

Who’s shelling out the dough for the photographs? People magazine, of course. Even though the magazine as well as Jennifer’s reps, are denying that any deal for the U.S. rights for the pics had been finalized. The asking price will be split with OK! Magazine, which will pay for the international rights for its editions around the world.

If the $6 million figure turns out to be accurate, it would easily dwarf recent payouts to other A-listers: People’s current issue features Christina Aguilera with her newborn son — which was rumored to have cost the magazine $1.5 million. And in 2006, the tab shelled out an estimated $4 million for pics of Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt’s biological daughter, Shiloh.

Jennifer and Marc’s twins are due on February 23rd.

Jennifer Lopez is due any day now and her babies are going to be sleepin’ in style.

Sources tell PageSix.com that the nursery awaiting the forthcoming fraternal twins is an ocean-themed room stocked in English furniture and French-made cribs decked out in hand-embroidered bedding.

The tiny pair will also gaze upon 18-karat gilded trim and chandeliers in Jennifer and Marc Anthony’s Long Island home, as well as in the nurseries in their Bel Air and Fisher Island homes. The total cost of digs for two adorable babes? Over $120,000.

PageSix.com also has a peak at their new baby gear.

The twins will stay cozy in $43 matching onesies by Huddy Buddy, with pink and blue tags reading “I’m part of a set.” To get them through winter in New York, they have matching pink and blue cashmere sweater and pants sets by Baby CZ, that retail for $269, bundled in $116 organic blankets by Robbie Adrian.

Celebrities turned out for A Night to Benefit Raising Malawi and UNICEF at the United Nations in New York City, yesterday. The stars included Brooke Shields, Cynthia Nixon, Debra Messing, Kimora Lee Simmons, Salma Hayek, Gwyneth Paltrow, Rachel Zoe, Tom Cruise & Katie Holmes, Ali Larter, Drew Barrymore & Justin Long, Molly Sims, Lucy Lui, Chris Ivery & Ellen Pompeo, Rihanna, Demi Moore, Madonna & Lourdes, Jessica & Jerry Seinfeld, and Jennifer Lopez & Marc Anthony.

Madonna hosted the star-studded fundraiser for Malawi orphans, last night.

The legendary singer, who has a two-year-old adopted son David from the African country, threw the New York bash for her Raising Malawi Foundation, United Nations children’s organization UNICEF and to celebrate the opening of a new Gucci store.

Madonna, who dismissed rumors the event was raising money for Kabbalah, said: “I am grateful that Gucci has underwritten this event, that’s all that matters to me - their generosity. There’s always controversy surrounding anything that involves change.

“I want to put Raising Malawi on the map. I want credibility as a philanthropic organization. I want to inspire people. I don’t want them to just write me a check - I want them to give me a piece of their heart.”

Sure, Jennifer Lopez looks fantastic, but how’s pregnancy really treating her?

“I’m feeling good,” the almost-due singer says of her decision to check out the new collection along with husband Marc Anthony. “I haven’t gone out a lot for the past few months”, she admits, “but Marchesa has been incredibly good to me. They are just amazing!”

And while most moms-to-be stick to comfort wear, the always-glam Jennifer says sweats are not an option. “People make fun of me because when I do have them over to my house I do have a dress on,” she laughs. “I don’t like the way the sweats look with the extra weight. I like to feel good about myself even at home.”

And while the singer won’t be able to wear any of Marchesa’s red carpet confections anytime soon, she does have her eye on a few special looks. But, Lopez admits “Right now the best thing I can do for myself, for my body is to keep resting which is not easy for me. I like keeping busy and it is very hard because if they say ‘be off your feet for four hours a day’, I’m like ‘oh, God!’ It’s hard.” If she looks this good at nine months, we can’t wait to see her back in action!

Cause she’s definitely still pregnant!  And feeling well enough to take in a fashion show, I might add.  Here she is with Skeletor at the Marchesa fashion show in New York this afternoon.
