Jennifer is mother of three-year-old fraternal twins Emme Maribel Muiz, and Maximilian David Muiz. Immediately after her twins were born, Jennifer felt a great urge to drop the baby weight and get back into shape. Jennifer wanted her children to see her looking her best.

"My kids need to know what I look like!" Jennifer declared to Us Weekly. "[After having the babies I had to] make an effort and say, 'OK, I need to get back to the person I was.'"

Looking glamorous while caring for two small children is not an easy task for Jennifer. Sometimes the star feels like fitting even basic hygiene routines into her busy schedule is a challenge.

"Sometimes you don't even have time to shower, and I totally understand that!" Jennifer said.

Busy with motherhood and an extremely successful career, Jennifer is still able to squeeze in time to make major fashion statements. Known for her excellent sense of style, Jennifer recalls the waves she made when she wore a green Versace dress with a plunging neckline to the Grammy Awards in 2000.

"I remember putting it on and the stylist saying, 'You know, somebody else wore this,'" Jennifer said. "I was like, 'I don't care. It looks great.'"

Jennifer is currently filming the eleventh season of American Idol. (C) Cover Media
