Jennifer Lopez is pregnant, a close friend has claimed. Former ‘American Idol’ star Jess McCartney let the news slip during an interview with Atlanta radio station, Star 94 on August 24. When the singer was asked why Jennifer had pulled out of her new movie Dallas, he responded, “She’s pregnant.”

As soon as he realised what he said, the 19-year-old turned to his personal assistant and asked, “Was I not supposed to say anything?”

JLo, who is married to singer Marc Anthony, recently admitted she is desperate to start a family. On her doctor’s recommendations, she has allegedly been eating spinach three times a day to boost her intake of folic acid and increase her chances of conception.
