Jennifer Lopez insists all her staff call her 'Mom'.

The Latin diva has confessed she asks her employees to address her as 'Mom' because she feels so maternal towards them.

She explained: "Everybody calls me Mom in my real life - everybody who works for me. I guess I'm just a caretaker."

Jennifer, who is married to singer Marc Anthony, also played mother to her 14-year-old co-star Becca Gardner in new movie 'An Unfinished Life'.

She is said to have told her: "I'm your Mom and I'm going to take care of you."

Earlier this month, Jennifer sparked rumours she was about to become a real life mother after she was spotted shopping for baby clothes at Beverly Hills store Petite Tresor.

Sources claimed the sexy star even confessed to staff the tiny clothes were for her baby.

One revealed: "J.Lo came in to buy some little outfits. We all presumed it was for a niece or a family friend, but she said, 'It's for me.'

"She then smiled and carried on looking around before buying some early-learning books."
