Jennifer Lopez can't bear to be away from her toddler twins - and uses a web camera to keep in touch when she's away.

The actress/singer gave birth to her first children, fraternal twins Emme and Max, in February 2008 and took a break from the spotlight for a year to look after them. Lopez has since gone back to work filming upcoming movie The Back-Up Plan and is now busy recording an album - but she has struggled to leave her kids at home.

She says, "I call up on the web camera so I can see them while I'm away and just look at them. Then my daughter starts crying when she sees me on screen. She holds out her arms to me and gets very upset. It breaks my heart if I'm away from them even for a short time."

The 40 year old adds that looking after two kids has been "hard work" but she has employed a nanny to help her and husband Marc Anthony.
