Twins for Nancy Jane

In March or April next year, Nancy Jane is giving birth to twins. That puts her in the same league with Hollywood and local stars who have twins, including Julia Roberts, Angelina Jolie, Jennifer Lopez, Vicky Morales, Aga Muhlach and Charlene Gonzalez, and Carmina Villarroel and Zoren Legaspi.

Now into her fifth month, Nancy said she was told by her ob-gyn that she’s having twins as early as the first month of her pregnancy.

“Of course, I nearly screamed with joy,” Nancy told The STAR in an exclusive interview. “There was supposed to be something wrong with my ovary and the doctor told me that I would have a hard time conceiving. But look,” smiled Nancy, pointing to her tummy, “I am having not just one but two babies.”

Other expectant showbiz stars are Angelika dela Cruz by her non-showbiz boyfriend, Vina Morales by her (married) businessman-lover and Mylene Dizon by Paolo Paraiso (also the father of her three-year-old love son).

“I never tried to hide my pregnancy,” said Nancy. “Nobody asked, so I didn’t volunteer to give the information. I am turning 28 next year and I thought it’s about time I had a baby. I don’t have any regrets at all,” added Nancy who requested that her 29-year-old boyfriend’s name be put off the record “because he is not from showbiz.”

Born Nancy Jane Jimenez Castiglione in Winnipeg, Canada, to an Italian father and a Filipina mother, Nancy dropped her surname when she decided to concentrate on her singing career. Her self-titled debut album is out in the market.

“I’m leaving next week for Edmonton (also in Canada) where I am giving birth,” said Nancy. “If possible, I want to deliver the natural way.”

Her manager, Arnold Vegafria of his own ALV Talent Circuit, said that even if Nancy is away, promo for her album will continue.

“The album is for the international release,” said Arnold. “We decided to drop ‘Castiglione’ from her name and just use her first names because they sound good in the international market.”

Asked what she has to sacrifice for the twins, Nancy said, “None. I have done a lot in my career and I want naman to experience how it is to be a mom. I think no woman would ever be fulfilled until she gives birth to a child.”

Is marriage part of her and her boyfriend’s immediate plans?

“No...as of now,” adding that her boyfriend will be beside her when she gives birth.

Nancy plans to resume her singing career middle of next year when she comes back with the twins.
