Singer-actress Jennifer Lopez has hired a male nanny - which she calls a "manny" - for her six-year-old son Max.
The 45-year-old says Max was getting too "aggressive" with her, so she thought it'd be a good way to get him to calm down if he had a fellow male to spend quality time with, reports femalefirst.co.uk.
Speaking on the Late Night talk show with Seth Meyers, Lopez explained: "The poor boy is surrounded by women 24 hours a day. One day I'm looking at him and he like jumps on me and hurts my neck.
"He's so aggressive, he's six and he's killing me. I'm like, 'What the? Baby, no'. And then the nanny is like, 'Ouch, OK Max.' He wants to roughhouse.
She added: "He has this thing and I go, 'This poor kid he's just surrounded by women all day'. I was just thinking of my child and I got a manny, a nice guy to come in and like hang out with him and have fun."
