AY, MAMACITA: 2008'S HOTTEST CELEBRITY MOMS

Spring is here and the flowers don't seem to be the only things that have bloomed. In the past couple of months, this triple threat of Latina celebrities gave birth to their little bundles of joy adding a little spice to this year's Mother's Day. Without a doubt the most divalicious of them was probably Jennifer Lopez. "Jenny from the Block" gave birth to twins Maximilian David and Emme Maribel Muniz (the twins have their dad's last name), this past February. La Lopez recently revealed she took three pregnancy tests, before she finally believed the news! It wasn't until the final performance of her concert tour with husband Marc Anthony that the couple finally revealed the good news to the world. Jennifer was allegedly so upset about gaining weight during her pregnancy, that she flew in her personal trainer all the way from Los Angeles, so they could workout together in New York! Seems like the plan worked, since Jennifer looked more curvalicious than ever during her recent appearance at the MET Costume Gala in New York. With mom's figure and dad's voice, Max and Emme will surely inherit the genes necessary to put on an elementary school talent show together!
Another baby who might inherit some wonderful musical genes is Max Liron Bratman, son of pop singer Christina Aguilera. It's been only 3 months since she gave birth to her baby boy and Aguilera has already been able to regain much of her sexy, svelte figure. This is all thanks to her strict exercise routine that includes weightlifting and boxing. The 27-year-old singer also went on tour while pregnant and kept mum about it. Aguilera, who performed some dangerous stunts on stage, claimed she kept quiet about her pregnancy so audience members wouldn't feel uncomfortable and wonder whether she would be "ok." The baby's father, music exec Jordan Bratman, says little Max recognizes his mother's voice every time she sings and loves it. Apparently "ain't no other man" who is a bigger fan of Aguilera!
Last but not least amongst our celebrity moms is the sultry Salma Hayek. Forty-one and fabulous: that's the only way to describe the actor and executive producer of Ugly Betty. Like the two other lovely ladies in our article, Hayek also kept her pregnancy under wraps for a while. News of Salma's pregnancy was released around the same time she got engaged to the baby's father, businessman Francois Henri Pinault. Valentina Paloma Pinault came into the world this past September and may have had a silver spoon in hand. Turns out her father is the CEO of a luxury goods company, which owns high-end labels like Gucci and Balenciaga. Although Salma probably has many sleepless nights, the Mexico-born superstar always takes time out to work with her personal trainer. So what else does Salma do to keep in shape? Sources say she eats lots of fish, fruits and vegetables. Way to go, Salma!
Being a mom is a tough job, but somebody's gotta do it! And for these A-list celebs it comes with all the perks and pampering every mom deserves. Let's hope this year, you too, get the star treatment you deserve. Happy Mother's Day!
