Jennifer Lopez sold baby photos to ‘set them up’

2 months ago 10th Oct 16:01

Jennifer Lopez has stashed away most of the $6 million (£3.24 million) she was paid for an exclusive photoshoot with her twin babies Max and Emme - because she wants to "set them up" in life.

The singer/actress and her salsa singer husband Marc Anthony sold the rights to their first family shoot to America's People magazine in March - a month after the tots were born.

But Lopez admits she opposed the idea for some time before finally relenting to the floods of offers.

She tells The Daily Beast website, "I think one of the reasons that the price went so high is that we didn't want to do it for so long... We weren't into it. I was like, 'No, I don't really want to. No. No way.'

"But then it got to the point that you go, 'Well, now you're being stupid with these offers'... I thought I can set them up. I can put this away just for them. We gave a little bit (away to charity) and I saved the rest for them."

Lopez - who came ninth in a recent Forbes poll of the richest females in showbusiness - has defended her decision to accept the big-money deal, insisting, "I wouldn't believe everything I read."
