Jennifer Lopez and Marc Anthony's Babies Don't Wear Repeats
Categories: Life & style, Celeb parenting, Rumors
It's not uncommon for celebrities to keep track of where and when they've worn their fabulous outfits lest they bore their fans (or the paparazzi) with wardrobe reruns. However, hearing that the infant offspring of a celebrity never wears clothing more than one time is a bit....unusual.
According to the Sun, famous diva/singer/actress Jennifer Lopez never reuses her infant twins clothing, keeping everything new and fresh for..... the household staff, non-nannies, and her husband Marc Anthony.
Whether it's due to extravagance, a pre-emptive measure to keep her kids from becoming too attached to a certain outfit, or a fear of germs, I think that J Lo is shortchanging herself by not allowing memories to form around any piece of clothing. Just seeing the few kid clothing items I've set aside takes me back a time when a my boys had chubby cheeks, were entranced by every ant on the sidewalk and cloud in the sky and wore bib overalls on a daily basis.
On the other hand, can you even imagine how awesome of thrift bonanza it will be when she decides to unload these items?!

Give me a break! Does that fool remember where she came from??? She's an embarrassment to her own race. Her and her stupid accent!

That's one of the stupidest things I've ever heard. Talk about wasteful.

How freaking ridiculous. How weird people can get when they have too much money at their disposal.

Calm down! I doubt that is even true. Sensationalism.

Whatever her reasoning might be, she had better get over being in control by the the time twins reach toddler stage. Wardrobe control has never been a big deal with me, and yet my daughter and I can still have a battle royal over what I believe to be appropriate garments to wear on any given day.
I can only imagine how stressful it would be if I had really rigid guidelines over what the children were allowed to wear each day. For instance today (100 +degrees) my child who was born with no fashion sense met me in the den having taken off her previously approved outfit with a long sleeve fleece top on. Sigh. J Lo is in for a rude awakening! And I can only hope that she's donating all those hardly used baby clothes to charity.

Honestly, if this is true that is completely ridiculous in my opinion. Sure it's great she has the money to do these things which I suppose is her right but considering how many children and parents of children that go without I find this to be completely selfish.
She could be using that money to help other families in need. It's frivolous to spend like that. I've always been more about quality then quantity. I mean, I have no doubt her children have the best of the best but seriously... if she keeps this up it will come back and bite her in the ass once they become old enough to understand what mommy and daddy are doing.
I can see it now... "J.Lo's spoiled munchkins demand private airplane!" Come now...

when my cousin had her baby she had recieved so many baby gifts that the baby rarely wore an outfit more than once because my cousin wanted her to get at least one use out of everything. Also, its not uncommon for a baby to need to be changed more than once a day especially with spit-up and messy diapers.....I don't find this so extreme for a child in their first year, however if J.Lo doesn't let the twins wear something more than once when they are toddlers and older that will be just out of control and too extravagant.

So ridiculous. Guess she isn't Jenny from the block anymore! We take such good care of our clothes. When they stop fitting one, they get boxed and saved for the next. When the two boys outgrow them, they go to someone in need. We never say no to hand-me-downs...including a real leather biker jacket that has been passed down to nearly every boy in the family. This is so sad she is doing this if it's true. I can only hope she donates the clothing she is no longer using.

Isn't it a shame that JLo can find nothing better to do with her money. If the article is indeed true, she and Marc Antony should be ashamed of themselves. Instead of spending so much money on children's clothing she should donate her money to children around the world who have nothing to eat much less to wear. If she already donates money, than she should donate more.

Its not uncommon for Babies to wear an outfit no more than one time. Parents recieve so many gifts that they try to get their kids to wear every piece of clothing before the kids grow out of it. Babies also tend to ruin clothes with spit-up and messy diapers, which also means they can go through 3-4 outfits/day! Don't rip on J.LO before you know all of the facts. Most of this article was all just speculation anyway...SHOW US SOME SOLID FACTS!! I'll give her the benefit of the doubt and also assume that she is donating the clothes once the kids have worn them.

Her babies, her businees what she does..if the story has any merit...Hopefully, the once used clothing will be donated to charities for those who arent as privileged ... or perhaps she can just send them to the people on "jenny from the block"...

I think she's just stupid and ridiculous. I could understand she has money but to start teaching your kids at such a young age to be like that is beyond stupid. She's embarrassing the spanish culture not only with not wanting to breastfeed but now this.

Wouldn't we love to know where celebrities donate their children's used clothes and toys? I wonder if they have an assistant that boxes the kids' outfits up and takes them anonymously to a Salvation Army thrift store or do they just toss them into a nondescript garbage bag and tossed them into a dumpster behind a shopping mall interest of privacy?

Fatima, it sounds to me like yu are the one that needs to repent. There is only one judge and that is God. So maybe you need to clean your own backporch.
Hopefully if this is true she plans on donating the clothes to charity.
