Salma Hayek sends her regards to Jennifer Lopez and Marc Anthony

Actress Salma Hayek sends her regards to new mom and dad Jennifer Lopez and Marc Anthony - who have just welcomed a baby girl and boy into the world.

"I wish them the best," Hayek, 41, said last night. "They will do great."

Lopez's twins were born just after midnight local time in Long Island, New York, with the girl arriving first at 12.12am. She weighed in at 5lbs 7oz and was followed into the world 11 minutes later by her 6lbs brother.

J.Lo's manager said the star and husband Marc Anthony were overjoyed.

Simon Fields said: "Jennifer and Marc are delighted, thrilled and over the moon."

The twins are the couple's first children together.

Hayek gave birth to her first child, Valentina Paloma Pinault, in September.
