The actress-and-singer had to film a racy love sequence for new movie ‘The Back-Up Plan’ – in which she plays a woman who is desperate to get pregnant – but banned Marc Anthony from the set on the day of the steamy shoot.

She said: “I didn’t want to torture the poor guy. He shouldn’t be watching when I’m seducing another man on a kitchen table. Personally I don’t like doing love scenes at all, because they make me feel uncomfortable.”

Although she didn’t want Marc to see her getting it on with another man in ‘The Back-Up Plan’, Jennifer wasn’t too nervous about baring her body on-screen because she is so pleased with her post-pregnancy figure.

The 40-year-old star – who has two-year-old twins Max and Emme with Marc – didn’t go on any fad diets to shift the weight and simply relied on discipline and exercise.

She told website Gala.de: “I worked out a lot. I struggled to get rid of the last 20 pounds. I had to change my eating habits after having the twins. I eat a lot less now than I used to. But I love bread and you’re not allowed bread with most diets.”

Jennifer Lopez feels like a “teenager” again.

The 40-year-old singer-and-actress is preparing to make a comeback with a world tour and new movie, ‘The Back-Up Plan’, two years after giving birth to twins Max and Emme – her children with husband Marc Anthony – and admits having such a long break has made her feel like she is starting out again.

She said: “I feel like it’s a new beginning. It’s a bit like when I was a teenager about to embark on this career but it’s much more challenging, difficult and harder.

“I have so much more experience now but I feel just as fresh as I did back then and I’m excited about my life.”

Despite enjoying her time at home with her family, Jennifer insists she has no plans to ever give up working.

She added in an interview with the Daily Mirror newspaper: “I won’t stop doing what I do. Maybe I’ll get to a point where I’m tired and feel I’ve done enough, but right now I see myself always working and expressing myself – whether in music or movies or fashion or whatever. That’s what I love to do.”

Jennifer Lopez is putting her home life before her career for the first time.

The actress-and-singer – who has two-year-old twins Max and Emme with husband Marc Anthony – has enjoyed spending time away from the spotlight and thinks it has helped her realise what’s important to her.
She said: “I think you have to know what is most important to you. And I think you have to realise that as much as you put into work, you have to put into your relationship and your children – but more so. That is how you balance it.
“For me, my family is the most important thing and everything else comes after that. It is hard to do everything, but you just have to. You have to make that effort. I have put so much time into my career in the past, so much time trying to get ahead and all that. But you have to do as much and then more for your home life too.”
The 40-year-old beauty – who is set to release a new album in the summer and stars in the romantic comedy ‘The Back-Up Plan’ – admits she is still on a “learning curve” as a mother.
She said: “I try to spend all my free time with Marc and the babies. It’s all a learning curve really. The last year has been an amazing time for us, me and Marc. I just wish I could be in two places at once. I would rather be at home now with my babies if I could be.”
