JLo and the nanny question
Filed under: Babies, Work Life, Celeb Kids, Life & Style, Celeb Parents
Four months after giving birth to twins, Jennifer Lopez looks fabulous. We know she looks fabulous because she has been photographed plenty since the twins were born in February. She and hubby Marc have been spotted at movie premieres, art galleries, fashion shows and more. But wait. Where, exactly are those twin bundles of joy while mom and dad are out on the town? Lopez has insisted that she does not have a nanny, so just who is minding the children?Former Hollywood nanny Suzanne Hansen says Lopez' nanny denial is all about semantics. She may not have an on-staff person who she refers to as 'nanny', but she sure as heck isn't hiring the teenager next door to watch little Max and Emme while she hits the town. More likely, she is making use of her other household staff to keep an eye on the tots while she and Marc socialize.
"She probably has other people-not called nannies-who are taking care of her children," Hansen says. "She has assistants, housekeepers-someone like that who probably also likes kids and who is likely keeping an eye on them."
Hansen goes on to say that by denying that she has a nanny, Lopez is insulting our intelligence. I don't know about you, but I do not feel insulted. What I feel is closer to, oh, I don't know - envy? Lopez can call it what she wants, but I know that if I had a gazillion dollars and a mansion, I would have some hired help, too.

Halle Berry's Ex Accused of Assaulting Nanny
Halle Berry was in court Tuesday for a hearing during which her nanny sought a restraining order against her ex Gabriel Aubry, who allegedly pushed the nanny last week while she was holding the couple's three-year-old daughter, Nahla. A judge denied the request for a restraining order sought by Berry's nanny, Alliance Kamdem, according to court papers obtained by ET. Aubry was also in court for the hearing in Los Angeles and was later seen departing the courthouse.

candi said...As a single mom of 14 year old identical boy twins I have a hard time stomaching all the attention celeb parents get about their multiples. If I had a nanny, a chef, a personal trainer etc.,I could have time to help the world too. I am too busy trying to make a living, take care of my kids and house then to buy into all their drama. I also take care of my two elderly parents Do you think I should have a photo shoot in people mag?.

Nancy said...No matter what she calls them - they are nannies! She has plenty of people looking after her babies so she should just stop trying to con everyone into thinking she does it herself.

ame s said...ROFL! And here I was thinking I was one of the only people alive who are just NOT the least bit impressed by her.
I remember when I had newborns at home. My first thoughts and priorities (sarcasm, dripping sarcasm) were to ditch those babies the first chance I got so I could go galavanting around to insure the general public wouldn't forget who I was and remember to worship (gag) every move I made and every sound from my mouth.
But, hey, if a mom wants to risk being so hands-off with her children that they call the person-who-is-not-a-nanny "Mama", that is her right ;)

mary said...LOL! Maybe I was a tad harsh....nah. That's OK, I'm also not to thrilled with Ms. JLO. I'd never be envious of someone's good financial fortune and would wish her well. But a rich person who is a jerk off doesn't cutt it for me! And that defines the new mamasita very well. No prejudice here, a set of my abuelas came from Spain! ; - )

Desiree said...calm down everyone-
just about anything will get you worked up!
I read somewhere that her mother is now living with them- have any of you even considered that maybe GRANDMA is watching the kiddies while mama and dada are out? I am SURE some of you have heard of that concept and maybe some of you have even tried such a daring thing as having your parents watch you kids. Yes- lots of sarcasm for your benefit.

ShortiRox said...Ugly . . .like a troll? I've read that she doesn't have them (nannies) during the night, which for a celeb is kinda impressive I guess. Hey, we can't all be Britney Spears ya know?
