Jennifer Lopez handles newborn with tender, loving care in romantic comedy :

With two young children of her own, it is little surprise Jennifer Lopez proved a dab hand as she filmed scenes with a newborn baby on the set of her new romantic comedy in New York yesterday.

In a case of art imitating life, the actress plays a mother of twins in her latest big screen offering, The Back-Up Plan.

She looked completely at ease as she fussed over the tiniest star on the set who was dressed all in pink.

Later the baby was swapped for a pair of dolls as Jennifer filmed scenes strolling down the street with two prams along with Australian actor Alex McLoughlin, who plays her love interest Stan.

She was also seen sharing a kiss with McLoughlin and in a less romantic moment was spotted rummaging through a rubbish bin.
