By Eleanor Gower


She may be in the Brazilian City of Rio De Janeiro as part of her Dance Again tour, but life is certainly not all work and no play for Jennifer Lopez.

The 42-year-old singer and actress hit the beach with her toyboy beau Casper Smart and her four-year-old twins Max and Emme, along with her mother Guadalupe today.

She laughed and took pictures with her phone of little Max burying one of her bodyguards in the sand with the help of 25-year-old Casper.

He held a bucket full of sand, while Max clutched the spade to help bury the bodyguard up to his neck.

His delighted mother laughed and took photographs of the escapade with her phone, as she stood alongside her mother Guadalupe.

The American Idol judge showed off her famous curves in a simple white halterneck bikini top and matching bottoms, with a sweater wrapped around her waist.

Her hair was tied up into a top knot and she sported sunglasses and her favourite oversize earrings, while Casper sported a pair of checked red and white swimming shorts.

And J-Lo looked very much the doting mother,carefully drying little Emme after the youngster had taken a dip in the ocean, and later carrying the sleepy little girl in her arms.

She later changed into a pair of ripped jeans and wrapped the cardigan around her shoulders after her day in the sun.

Casper looked more than comfortable playing stepfather to the children, hugging little Emme in a towel and taking Max for a stint in the sea on a mini body board.

However, things haven't always gone smoothly for Jennifer on the South American leg of her tour.

Last Thursday, she was robbed just after leaving a clinic where she was being treated for a stabbing pain in her back.

During her concert a few hours later at the GEBA stadium in Buenos Aires a thief reportedly stole personal items including computer, a camera and a bag with personal documents from her dressing room.

But it seems Jennifer's back pain was related to her children, and she took to Twitter to explain on Thursday, writing: 'Got an xray this morning...all good...pulled back muscle. Coconuts getting too big to carry both at once. Awww... #timeflies :( '
