Holy Mother—! I did NOT see this one coming. Jennifer Lopez and Marc Anthony have announced, through a joint statement, that they are “ending their marriage”. This is not a touchy-feely announcement of “separation, but we’re trying to work something out.” This is flat-out “We’re getting a divorce, y’all.” You know what was the signal? Jennifer took her mother to last weekend’s BAFTA event, not Marc. Everybody was like “Oh, her mom probably wanted to meet Waity.” But no, that was the signal.
Jennifer Lopez and husband Marc Anthony have called it quits.
The couple just released a statement, claiming, “We have decided to end our marriage. This was a very difficult decision. We have come to an amicable conclusion on all matters.”
The story was first reported on People.com.
This will be Jennifer’s THIRD divorce — she was first married in 1997 to Ojani Noa, and again in 2001 to her backup dancer Cris Judd. This will be Marc’s second divorce.
The couple got married in 2004 in their Beverly Hills home. They have two children.
Marc and JLo renewed their vows just last year on their 6th anniversary — and back in May, they gave a steamy performance together on the season finale of “American Idol.”
[From TMZ]
Is this depressing to anyone else? I mean, yes, Jennifer is kind of crazy and she’s kind of a diva, but I thought Marc really loved her and that she adored him right back. You know what will be interesting? It will be interesting to hear if one of them was screwing around, first of all, and second of all, it will be interesting to see how the money stuff plays out. You know Marc has big tax problems, right? Oh, it’s going to get good.

So who is her jump off? JLo is a serial monogamous and I don’t think she’s been single a day in her adult life. I can’t imagine she’d leave Marc Anthony without someone to catch her. Unless he was doing something so awful that she had no choice but to go. Hmmm Interesting!
I really hate celebrities who do not pay their taxes- they live in this country making more than whole extended families combined, complain about EVERYTHING that is wrong in this country, and their state, and yet feel no need to contribute and be a part of the society who keeps them employed- absolutely despicable.
From what I remember reading about his previous marriage is that he was pretty controlling of her career (if I remember right) so maybe now that JLo’s is taking off again after having the kids, he is just not having it. Who knows but I think it is sad, either way. I feel for the kids.
Thank God!I’m no fan of JLo but I really can’t stand Ratface. She would be so much more better off without him.
Coming off of the news of her shoving Nancy Botwin out of the wayto meet the royals, this has been a fun day for JLo gossip. Marc Anthony has a history of cheating and I doubt any guy can tolerate JLo’s ginormous ego and tacky behavior for long. Not too surprising
He’s a complete and utter dog. Started screwing JLo when he was still married to his wife who he had dicked around with other women before. Good for her. Just better to cut her losses.
How difficult is she to live with? Seriously? A friend of mine directed her in a movie, overall she was ok to deal with on the set but he did say that she and Marc had a couple of big ole fights in her trailer that could not go unnoticed. It was chalked up to the “latin fire”, but obviously there was more going on there than met the eye. Also, when your star is fading it’s good to have a fellow celeb on your arm for attentions sake, now that J Lo is back up on the A List again, she doesn’t need him anymore.
I was waiting for you to get on this one as soon as I saw the press release about an hour ago. You are right, this will be good. I am also just a bit surprised, because I know Jennifer ‘believes in love’ and it really did seem like Marc was always so happy to have finally landed her. But there has been talk for awhile, I thought, about his ‘controlling’ behavior. Maybe her renewed success on Idol was too much for him? I agree, though, this one was not sugar coated…they are over and there is nothing ambiguous about it.
Since she seemed to be the star of the Strippa Rip-Ya blind items, I’m glad about this. Hope she’s OK and I wonder what finally happened to result in this drastic decision.
if these two cant make it, there’s no hope for us “normies”
im actually kinda bummed about this as well.. maybe even more than i’d like to admit [LOL] but i just thought they’d be the ones to go the distance.
*rubs hands together, grabs popcorn and puts feet up*
This. Is Going To Be Good.
she’s the major guess of a Ted C’s blind vice and it’s very sad (he might be a domestic control freak and sometimes he beats her): Stippa Rip-Ya http://www.blinditemsexposed.com/search/label/Jennifer%20Lopez
There are huge rumours that he has a drug problem, plus that he is an abusive prick towards Jlo, plus all his money problems, the tax liens. He just gives me the creeps.
Not a JLO fan but I am glad she is dumping him.
Why are people so suprised? With all the rumors going on about their relationship, I was just waiting to see when they would announce it.
They were probably both cheating on the other.
@Rosh –
LINKS!!!
what is this blind item you speak of, i need to see i am always so terrible at deciphering who’s who and what’s what with those thingies.
thx 🙂
What happened to “for better or for worse?” I have been married for years, and have a child with my husband. There have been times I could have strangled him. There have been times where I felt like I was raising 2 kids instead of 1; HOWEVER, we have stuck it out through happiness and struggles. Why the hell do these people even get married? THEY ALL GET DIVORCED!!! Don’t even bother with the vows, they don’t mean jack sh*t to them anyways…
Yeah, this will be good. X 17 said something like she was sick of his “bad attitude” and was just waiting to make sure her assets were protected before she filed. Maybe her jumpoff is Clooney!
The fact that this sh-t was announced late on Friday says to me that there’s going to some crazy going down.
I never bought them as a happy couple anyway. I always thought it was pretty obvious she needed to save face after that whole Bennifer disaster and that’s why she married him like a month after she and Affleck broke up. Never thought she and Skeletor would last at all.
@Kaiser, are the rumours about the abuse/drug use by Marc true?
Yo Kaiser- can you explain why Friday timing is significant? Thanks!

Blind Items Revealed
February 8, 2011
With her now busy schedule on that very very popular television show and him having lots of time alone to ponder how he likes being the bigger star, it was pretty inevitable that he would start stepping out on her. She might want to talk to that backup singer of his. Just saying.
Marc Anthony & Jennifer Lopez
http://www.crazydaysandnights.net/2011/07/blind-items-revealed_6673.html
Now that George Clooney is single he might have a chance with Jlo, yeah right! I believe that since her career has skyrocketed I guess he feels left out and has lost control over her. Either that or he probably has found some other woman on the side in one of his concerts. I’m anxious to know what went on!
Shut the front door! This jumped outta nowhere!
It’s always sad to see a family break up. I hope they can work out something amicable for the sake of the children.
@Isabel
LOL! LOL! LOL!
I believe this has been coming for a long time. They have been the center of many blind items for a couple of years now. This,unfortunately, is not a shock.
I can’t stand her. He probably couldn’t either.
Well, I for one am not at all surprised, I didnt think it would last this long. I am also surprised she even married him.
I am shocked, SHOCKED I tell thee!! 🙄
But in all seriousness, I hate the cow but I don’t want her to be subject to domestic abuse.
I think you’re right Kaiser, there is going to be a HUGE fallout from this one.
Jojo – Because late Fridays are for “taking out the trash” for news. If you don’t want a particular story to be get a lot of attention, you dump it late on Friday. Of course, that was the old-media paradigm, with the 24-hour news cycle, it’s different, but still, there’s a reason they announced it late on Friday – they’re hoping it won’t be a big story on Monday.
kieslowski – I have no idea! Nothing would really surprise me. A rumor I’ve consistently heard (and never really believed) is that Marc is abusive.
those crazy kids – this is gonna be one ugly breakup.
Oh Hollywood.
Five divorces between two people. So typical these days?
Frankly I think celebs just get married so they can have a big party.
Honestly, I’m not too surprised by this. They always seemed an odd pairing, and there were very few photos of them together for a while now.
I’m more curious if Jennifer is going to stay single, or does she already have someone waiting in the wings?
I don’t like either one of them.
She should hook-up with the Butler, who is crazy about butts!…(running for cover!)
i heard he was banging a back-up singer
Pfff, I’ve seen this coming for seven years. My opinion? She’s become famous again, feels empowered and has decided to cut loose the deadweight that he is and seek out a more worthy man. I’m not defending her (or him), but I think that’s exactly what happened. I firmly believe that she only made the marriage work as long as it did because she was sinking into oblivion and didn’t want to feel like a total failure with this marriage hitting the rocks too. Now that she feels she doesn’t have to worry about her career waning, she’s getting out. Any bet though, that’ll she’ll remarry someone else in a few years.
Well, Garner did not bring Affleck to meet the royals either. Their photo ops look a bit tense to me. His directing career is taking off again at the same time JLo is making a come back so, Bennifer 2.0?… or would it be 3.0 since he is in a Bennifer situation now as well.
They should have done it late Tuesday to miss the tabloid deadlines. Now the rags have plenty of time to create, make-up, dig-up and get whatever story they can.
Not shocked in the least. Only thing that’s surprising is that it lasted this long. However, I think that had more to do with her not wanting to be the punchline for short marriages jokes anymore.
@kaiser
Another incredibly insightful theory (mine) on the late Friday release is that it is the headline for the entire weekend since most tabs go quiet on Saturday and Sunday….except for the great CB Sunday posts that is. Today, if you want a story to linger on the net, post it late Friday.
and yes, this was a shocker. Doubt either one is easy to live with but I do think she’s in it for real and he’s in it for himself.
Every divorce is sad.
And I totally didn’t see this one coming.
Vow renewal = imminent divorce.
I’m no huge fan of Jenny from the block, but if the rumors are to be believed, then it’s about time she got rid of him.
Please! I knew the second I saw Guadeloupe with her meeting the Prince and Princess of Wales that something was up! I am NOT surprised! I think that the only reason she hooked up with Marc Anthony was becuase she had been so humiliated by the broken engagement with Ben Affleck. She was INTO Ben! He got over her diva ways real quick, though! I still think she feels humiliation from that, especially with jennifer Garner being at BAFTA and lookin’ so good!
Even though,this is unfortunate, and seemingly unexpected, the problem with this relationship was that Marc Anthony loved Jennifer Lopez far more than she loved him.I don’t think Marc Anthony was really her type, he just found her at a vulnerable moment after the “Bennifer” fiasco and capitalized on it.
Wow, it lasted a helluva lot longer than I expected.
Messy divorce or not? I’d say messy over custody of the kids, but if they were smart, they would clear up the back taxes up and split the rest 50/50% for the financial settlement, or the lawyers are going to get most of the cash.
Like we really did not see that coming. Bitch gotta handshake from the royal couple and now think she is on top of the world (don’t need Marc after that, huh). Hope everything turns out well for the kids, the both of them have an average of 5 failed marriages between them
Not shocked if all the blind gossip sites that pointed to them are true. Why would she stay with him if he beats her!? She may be a diva, but she is not a Dummy. Just hope she takes the higher road for their children & never bad mouths him – even if he is deserving of it. Don’t know if those blinds are true, but the rumors are awful!!!!!
So this makes what? Two, three marriages under her belt and one ended engagement. I leaning towards she’s the problem. She strikes me as her own biggest fan and I’m sure thats difficult to live with on a daily basis.
I’m shocked because they seemed happy at the Idol finale. As far as saying it’s not shocking since there have been breakup rumors for years is the reason it’s shocking.
Lainey just posted a story on this a lot of GREAT INFO:
http://laineygossip.com/Jennifer_Lopez_Marc_Anthony_announce_separation.aspx?CatID=0&CelID=0
@Viggo… Damn,you might be right.
Also, I live in Hartford,CT. and Marc Anthony used to own a few nightclubs in the area. The rumors were he was a cheater and beat(h)er.
I agree with those who think she totally married Marc to save face after the fiasco with Ben, as well as to have kids, and that Marc always seemed to be more into her than she him. I hope he wasn’t an abuser, but he always seemed a little greasy. I’m sure she’s no picnic, but I do think she could’ve done better.
i didnt see this coming, but i believe she stuck with marc for so long because she had a rep for jumping in and out of relationships/marriages with the quickness…and now, like Anna said, she’s becoming famous again and doesnt need him.
Everything she does is for fame, for show. This is about as shocking as finding out another celebrity couple had twins “naturally.” Nothing in Hollywood is real, and neither was this relationship. She wanted Latin music cred (and a guy with a big d***) for her own agenda. Once she gets what she wants, she moves on. She never earns anything. Ugh, don’t like her, not surprised.
jlo married 7 years is equal to 57 years for anyone else. I’m only surprised it lasted this long. I think she only married marc to get over the affleck dumping her scandal and to get pregnant…she had baby fever…but to go from hunky ben to gross marc couldln’t have been easy…read somewhere she was banging the gorgeous latino in her latest video…
i’m surprised at how so many are surprised by this split. recent photos didn’t look convincing; and i’m not convinced the whole thing wasn’t a business arrangement anyway.
besides, he is so freakin’ creepy — i’ve never understood anyone being attracted to him.
he has the body of a sprite-like man child.
she is the O.G. volup in the game that gave Beyonce & Kim K. a career (making big booties popular).
what did ya think would happen?
i get the feeling dude needs a respirator after sex with Jen.
girlfriend needs a ‘man’s MAN’. one she won’t bone fracture in bed. holla!
😉
Well their statement made a point of noting that
” We have come to an amicable conclusion on all matters.”
which means if that is true this has been in the works for a long time. That statement to me says child custody and money have been worked out. And you don’t do that in a day. That takes weeks when you consider the money/property they have. Not to mention business deals.
so like most splits this was coming for a long time and they just didn’t let the public see until they were ready. I always say relationships don’t end on the day the announcement is made. That it ended long before.
I feel for the children. But once again it is clear that people don’t stay together because of children. If it is over it is over.
I think too that JLO did Idol to get her footing again. Marc is on that Jada/Will show so both are doing things outside the other.
but it will be interesting to see how this all progresses.
I guess another scoop the rags missed.
The drug rumors are probably true. He looks like a cokehead!
Wow. I, like others, missed those blind items and am pretty surprised!
Don’t love Ms. Lopez – but she can definitely do better!!
OMFG I can’t believe this, I was thinkin to myself the other day, JLO is so pretty shame that she married that Marc, hopefully she’ll date a hunky young Latin stud and not another ugly guy like Marc ROFL
Can’t stand either of them but I will hitch my little star to every one else’s conclusion about how she only married him to save face after being dumped by Ben and now that she is making a “comeback”, she is cleaning out that 10 lb skeleton out of her closet
While I haven’t followed the blind items, I kinda had a feeling about these two, mainly, their ‘reality show’ to find a great Latin star. Really? She got a gig on AI that reinvigorated her career and she and Marc Anthony decides to copycat it? And mark my words, that show will be her last nod to the Latin community for a long time, since her previous attempts to conquer the Latin music scene didn’t entirely pan out.
Marc Anthony will be fine, as long as he reclaim his place within the Latin music community. Have no idea whether Latin stars are as overpaid as American music stars, but Ricky Martin seems to be living a sweet life, even after coming out. Of course, I can’t read Spanish so maybe his career did take a hit. But Univision seems to still treat him like a star.
I’ve read he’s abusive to her verbally and physically, so I’m happy she is getting out of it. She may be a pain in the ass, but she doesn’t deserve to be abused.
in the last picture marc anthonys going “and this is how much youre going to get from me”
She has her Idol money and career, so she doesn’t need the abusive druggie husband. I remember a few years ago she lip synched on Today Show, and he was watching from the audience in a creepy way. He got her on the rebound from Ben and her career was crappy. I don’t like her, but I can believe she had a rough time with him.
Marc Anthony looks kind of sickly to me…don’t know if there’s anything wrong with him, but he has a gaunt appearance. Anyway, the impending divorce doesn’t surprise me in the least. It’s a celebrity marriage, and almost all of those have an expiration date. ‘Nuff said.
First he looks like a drug addict, mostly a coke head. And also he looks like a beater. And I cant wait to see who she hooks up with.
J-LO IS PROBABLY ON PRINCE WILLIAM SACK
Not surprised by the news, always thought Marc was her rebound after Affleck dumped her. She wanted to be married and have kids, Marc came along at the right time. She’s smart to get out of the marriage now with his tax problems and if the rumors of him cheating and being an abusive control freak are true.
JLO is trending on Google trends and twitter, she’s a true superstar, I hope she’ll be able to overcome this and I look forward to watchin her on Idol next year!
Ugh. I wanted to hang myself during the whole “Bennifer” fiasco and now we have to go through it again with her next celebrity man?
The only thing that surprises me is that this relationship lasted as long as it did. As someone mentioned, JLo relationships should be measured in dog years because they’re usually so short.
Earlier this month, CDAN identified the folks in a bunch of blind items. He was identified as screwing around on her.
Jennifer will be fine. She bounces back from breakups incredibly fast. In addition to her marriages, she’s also been engaged at least that many times.
No wonder she did not announce that she was coming back to AI until 11 July. Like a smart girl, I am sure she was trying to make sure that money stays in her pocket.
Unlike most of you, I don’t see her jumping into a relationship. She has her kids, to keep her company. I still think she is shallow and uses her kids for money. I would hope that her cold heart thawed just a little when she had the twins.
I bet that she got tired of paying his bills.
She is the Elizabeth Taylor of her generation. She still has five more marriages to go…
Why Marc left Dayanara Torres for JLo still puzzles me. Dayanara’s a beautiful, beautiful woman.
@Susan – Domestic violence trumps “for better or worse.” Getting the shit beaten out of you is not the “worse” contemplated by the vow, and no one should ever feel like (s)he needs to stick it out with her abuser just because (s)he made a commitment. Get some perspective.
BWAHAHAHAHAHA! *laughs, points* They were SO the answer to the CDAN blind item not too long ago. (Thanks for the link @ t!) There’s no room in a relationship with J-Ho for anyone else – her ego’s too big.
Marc is a w-a-y better actor than J-Ho. She’s probably jealous.
As far as the abuse angle: he seems controlling (and controlled), but let’s be honest here: if anyone is abusing anyone, it’s her. She could totally kick his ass. All she’d have to do is sit on him. (And I certainly couldn’t stand living with such a “putting on airs” bitch from the block!)
He was an awful husband to Dayanara, so I’m not surprised about this, either. All his patterns were the same.
http://www.celebitchy.com/12378/marc_anthonys_ex_dayanara_torres_talks_about_staying_in_bed_for_days_after_he_left/
I was more surprised that these two got together than I am by their divorce.
I am so sad about this. I hope Jennifer does well.
@ mzjask – Please pass the popcorn.
Am I the only one NOT surprised by this?
And I find him MUCH more likable than her. It must be his “I’m not a fame-whore” vibe.
@ Susan – But I’m willing to bet you’ve never laid hands on him and vice versa. There’s a big leap from wanting to smack him because he’s being deliberately obtuse (one of my favourite terms to describe hubs when he’s acting out) and actually doing it. Abuse is NEVER acceptable, from either party. Now, I’m willing to bet more couples than not would never admit to verbal abuse (degrading, name-calling, and the like) but I’m also willing to bet those same couples have engaged in said behaviour.
Susan:
What is the secret of your lasting marriage?!
I been marriage just for more less 2 years and right now pregnant with our first child (7 months).
And During my pregnancy i found out my husband is not what he pretend to be. He has a girlfriend whom he called n text everyday (love texts). It ended when i found out. And then he joined dating sites…he even tried to seduced my cousin n called her 2 times, when i confronted him…he just lied. but the proved is in the cell billing.
How to SAVED this marriage?! or is it worth SAVING?!
I knew this was coming. Don’t worry about Jenny, she will be fine, she is a survivor. I definitely see her next husband being either royalty of some sort or billionare (like Salma Hayek’s husband)
not surprise, married him to save face when Ben dumped her, Marc loved her more than she loved him, jlo wanted kids, wanted to stay famous, she got her career back, blab,blab. lol she is still overrated with no talent, but wish them the best,esp.the kids.
Sad news, William Levy (the super duper hot man in her last video) is also getting a divorce.
I wish them all the luck in the next stage of their lives but I came to say “don’t touch William levy Jenni he is mine”.
J. Lo & Marc = Neo Liz & DICK (without the talent and not even half as interesting). She does hold it down for the 40+ bootified females, so dap to her all around for that.
There’s something going on there that we will never know or understand. “El Cantante” was the ish to me all because of their chemistry alone. I guarantee they’ll have a few more dalliances in the next decade or two, even if it doesn’t make the blogs and rags. Re-marriage is also not out of the question – after he pays his dang bills.
Their relationship is loooooonnnnggg (ask Dayanarra, who predicted this from the start) and you just don’t announce on a random summer Friday afternoon that you’re calling it quits out the blue. They’re getting divorced so she can keep her money and he can screw chicks that make his LOTR looking-self feel like Captain America.
And the beating thing? Possible, even believable, but bad business, so Medina would not let it go on forever. Jen only has a few more sweetfaced years. He ain’t risking that a black eye goes wrong at this late stage of the game. Hence – divorce!
Just a theory: Say Bennifer was all a Medinafied front, a showmance business arrangement, to cover a J Lo messing around with a married Marc and Ben messing with a married Jennifer Garner Vartan? I mean, you never wondered why Ben always looked so uncomfortable in all their pictures together? He always looked like a kid whose suit itched to me. Possible?
God bless them and those beautiful Gucci-toed children. tho. But, as we say in the hood, “They just a HOT mess!”
@ Maritza: I always thought J-Lo and Clooney had the hottest chemistry in Out of Sight. One can only dream…
Regarding her and Skeletor… meh. Saw it coming a mile away. He’s skeevy and she’s probably too high maintenance. Hope she can stand on her own for a while before diving into the next relationship.
Hello all bloggers! I apologize upfront for my long assessment, but I want to give some facts & thoughts to this. I’ll put it in bullet form, to make it brief, but I do feel compelled to comment. I haven’t read all the previous bloggers, but here’s what I know & my thoughts:
*J.Lo & Anthony dated BRIEFLY before Anthony married his last wife previous to J.Lo.
*I think J.Lo gave Anthony the heave-ho when they dated, as she is fickle, was in her heyday then, & saw a “mirage” of greener pastures.
*Anthony went ahead & married the woman (a former Ms. Universe, I believe..can’t remember her name).
*Anthony HAS ALWAYS had a BAD TORCH burning for J.Lo, even while he was married to his last wife.
*Bennifer came & went. Affleck gave J.Lo the heave-ho, although he’s a douche, he’s a pragmatic person, & saw the writing on the wall w/J.Lo (god-awful diva behavior, big-time narcissism, probably EXTREMELY HIGH MAINTENANCE).
*J.Lo, a very prideful person, smarting from the heave-ho from Affleck, KNEW of “Anthony’s Torch” & thought, what-the-hell, I know he’ll marry me…& so they married after Anthony gave his then-wife the heave-ho. That’s right..J.Lo KNEW she could steal him away from his last wife, & did so w/no compunctions!
*My thoughts are that probably after the 1st year, they both were miserable, but carried on, because J.Lo, mindful of her “biological clock” wanted kids.
*J.Lo had kids w/Anthony cause they were already married, she didn’t want to chance unhealthy babies by having babies later in life (she’s a narcissist..unhealthy or deformed child is NOT for her), & she knew Anthony would make a good Dad because he still adores J.Lo, even now.
*Again, I think they were both miserable BEFORE they had the children.
*J.Lo is an insufferable diva, & I feel they divorced because although Anthony loves J.Lo, he probably did run around on J.Lo because I cannot imagine anyone being able to suffer her, her ego, narcissism…I just picture day-to-day life impossible w/J.Lo.
*Anthony’s libido for J.Lo waned & he probably did run around on J.Lo. Anthony prolly still loves J.Lo, but doesn’t “like” her as a person, or even respect her as a person.
*I think J.Lo is so immature that she is incapable of love. I think she likes the rush of new love (but that’s not really love), but hasn’t been able to keep a marriage long prior to Anthony because she is a narcissist, & extremely high-maintenance for any man. She had kids w/Anthony because she figured he was going to be the only guy that would put up w/her long enough to stick around for a pregnancy to happen.
*J.Lo also stuck it out longer because she wanted a child, was embarrassed to get a divorce less than a year, decided to have children also because she thought that the children would keep them together…plus she wanted @ least 1 child anyway while she was still in the healthy age range to do so.
*I read the talk about Anthony possibly hitting her, but if that happened, I think he may have hit her after she hit him. Hell, I don’t doubt she probably knocked the shit out of Affleck a few times, but he was too embarrassed to say, & too much of a gentleman (a douchey gentleman).
*As Kaiser mentioned about J.Lo in another post on her today, J.Lo is FEISTY, & if Anthony did ever hit her 1st, I’m sure she gave as good as she got, & that after such, she probably would go into a basement & cover in chicken blood Santeria-style & put a BAD hex on Anthony.
*Actually, I think J.Lo is in great shape, & I just doubt Anthony would hit her cause they’re about the same size & I’d actually put my $$ on her. She probably could open up a HUGE can of whip-ass on him & put a hurting on him.
*I’m really not trying to be “sexist” & blame this on J.Lo, but I just think no guy could tolerate her long-term.
*I may be wrong, but I think J.Lo will hit it w/P. Diddy for a little while after leaving Anthony. P. Diddy still has a torch for J.Lo, poor bastard.
Sorry post is so long, but wanted to put all my thoughts & the facts I did know down. Thanks!
I am super bummed out. I only gave them 3 years. Now I won’t win the office pool.
Well, it lasted a lot longer than I thought it would, and a million times longer than either of her other two marriages. Who’ll be her next vict- er, husband, I wonder?
Didn’t Marc Anthony renew his vows with his first wife shortly before getting a divorce?
He was never ever worthy.
According to Blind Gossip:”These two have lived separately for a while, but the announcement was delayed several times. They don’t want any attention, which is why they waited to announce on a Friday afternoon in the middle of the summer. Both of them are terrified about the details of who they are really dating coming out, but BG assures you that it will be very interesting when it does!”. I think she may be dating Pitt Bull, Marc… who knows!
@ Melissa
true that! he bamboozled that Dayanara (?) with the same tactic.
he has an obvious M.O.
don’t feel sorry for JLO tho. perhaps ‘now’ she’ll give life a go sans a man.
women who have always had a man/husband since grade school are creepy to me.
jussayin. 😉
*Thank God!I’m no fan of JLo but I really can’t stand Ratface. She would be so much more better off without him.*
~DailyNightly
LOL! That was my reaction almost verbatim. Except I said he looked like an AIDS patient (the 80s kind).
I never got why she hooked up with him. Back when he was married to Ms. Universe and he was still semi-relevant, I read a profile of them in In Style. There was nothing untoward in that piece BUT he came off as a creepy, controlling a-hole who ignored his family and worked vampire hours in his in-house studio.
I don’t like her at all. I think she’s a talent-less diva who is full of herself but from what little I know of him, he makes her seem like a humble down to earth girl next door.
I never thought I would say this about JLo but – you go girl and congratulations! I think even if SHE cheated I would still be on her side.
I’m not going to rejoice in the ending of a marriage. I can be bitchy, but to be all “YAY! WHAT A BITCH, SHE DESERVES THIS” is disgusting. They had a life, and two children together. I’m not going to be happy about that.
What took so long?
She has a hit record, movie coming out,and is returning to American Idol. He probably told her how awful the dress was that she wore to meet the royal couple and it was the last straw for her.
ive always felt that jens TRUE love was ben affleck and that her heart is still with him adn she never really got over him…marc was just there and wanted her fort he longest time anyway so he was a reliable rebound guy but i never liked them together he seemed like an asswipe and she seemed like she was forcing her feelongs…i remember a particular point in her behind the music ep when she talked about her relationship with ben and her relationship with marc and it became clear to me who her heart was really with i dont wanna say n e names but lets just say his name begins with ben….Lol
@Kimbob: Never thought any poster could go as long as me, but…WOW!:-) Pretty comprehensive, too.
@Melissa: In a beautiful ceremony in PR, I think, if I’m remembering the photos right. Vow renewal IS kind of a clue, huh? ‘Specially with him.
@Maritza: I never even thought about others being involved. That’s what I want to know. Who in the world would take a chance on being the rebound chick/dude to either of these two? Even an ex with an eternal flame should be wary of that one. Staying tuned for that alone.
I heard about the blind items that suggested she was abused but that could have easily been orchestrated by her PR team to present her as a poor sweet victim. I think the previous story regarding Mary Louise Parker and the Royals this week depicts the “real” persona of JLO,being a total self absorbed diva beotch!!!!!!!!!
Marc is a serial cheater, i never understood why J-Lo married him. Another fake-happy so -called marriage.
@Susan, My thoughts exactly!
:;WHAT CAN A GUY LIKE ME DO TO FINE A BEAUTFIUL LADY LIKE MRS JENNIFER LOPEZ!””””””””’!:;;……….SAD NEWSSSS!;;!L;;THEY R A CUTE COUPLE”!”
@ Susan – my grandmother was in an abusive marriage. It was so bad her PRIEST told her to get a divorce. Good for you for “sticking it out”, but not even to a Catholic should “for better or for worse” include abuse.
I may not think much of J-Lo, but no one deserves to be used as a human punching bag.
@nahnah&nah…yeah, I hated the length, too. This marriage I’ve been waiting before & after the babies for this announcement. J.Lo (don’t like her, obviously) has dated a wide variety of men from gangsta P.Diddy to preppy, staid Affleck, so she’s amusing. When she married Skeletor, my countdown began! I’d really like to feel sorry for her, as I think she’s a sex/love addict…seriously. But I can’t feel bad for her cause she’s such a BIOTCH.
Bad day for celeb marriage Taylor from The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills announced her plans to divorce. They are so far opposite each other on the shock spectrum.
@ Irmawati – I’m so sorry you’re in that situation. I’ll tell you what my mom told me: “There is such a thing as sick love, and God [or insert your own deity here] doesn’t want anyone to stay in that kind of situation.”
I was in an abusive relationship, and that little nugget from my mom literally saved my life.
You are going to be a mom: do what you think is best for you and your baby. Love to you!
@ Kaiser & Jojo – Late Fridays are also for delivering bad news about a notorious crime verdict, unemployment, political nonsense, and various assorted other stuff the politicos don’t really want “Friday Night Retaliation” over.
I am shocked and sad for some reason. I thought they were perfectly suited for each other. oh well, another one bites the dust.
I’ve heard all along that Marc is very controlling. A woman can take that for only so long.
Her jump off won’t be Clooney. He finds her lip gloss disgusting and hated having to kiss her in that film they made together. I wouldn’t be surprised if she thinks she needs to be married to some bloke with a title and Will and Kate could hook her up, hence, shoving MLP outta the way.
size does not matter whats so ever in domestic violence relationships and i am really bothered by ppl making it seem as tho jen is healthy and in shape that shes the one beating marc…a skinny mans strength should not be under estimated…im a past dv victim myself and i have a similar shape to j lo minus the implants and a bit more booty blessed and my batterer was a stick person but was heavy handed and actually ver strong…my son is like that as well hes 7 and looks like he couldnt hurt a fly but hes SOLID like his dad so dont let size fool u especially if the drug crack rumors are true than marc would really be dangerous because 4rm waht i hear crackheads dont feeli pain when their high ive seen on cops and similar real life shows where crackheads were tazed multiple times and still got back up n runnin so we dont know what the situation is but its not fair to say jen is the abuser when theres NEVER even been any rumour or suspicions on her part yet theres ample of marc…..
@RHONYC: Ha ha ha! Best laugh I’ve had all day. Seriously, Marc can sing but he’s kinda ugly, and I do think JLo is the problem. Her ego is so huge, there’s no room for even another tiny ego in her house. Sad they have split, but who didn’t predict it?
@ Your Mama- There are reasons other than being a “Dummy” for women staying with their abusers. Chief on the list: they threaten to kill you and take your child if you leave. Here is a direct quote from my (former) abuser “Car accidents happen all the time. He’ll be fine, because he’s in a car-seat. And I’ll walk up and take him, and leave you there to die.”
Suffice to say, I went into hiding (and I’m not being figurative here) to escape him. He still found me. But I did manage to get away from him permanently and have a happy life. I do, however, still bear the emotional scars.
This is going to be messy. If you saw blind items recently, the abuse was escalating once her career regained steam. Someone mentioned it to be a PR stunt but the items were dead on. There has been a history of abuse in their relationship. Marc Anthony has always had an obsessive nature towards JLo from the get go. Men and women with that behavior love to be in control of their possessions. When they feel it is being threatened, they lash out at the person they are obsessed with. I always found him to be creepy. He saw her at a vulnerable state, jumped in, married her and controlled her career to the ground. Then in comes Idol, her career back, he has tax issues and he was caught cheating. It did seem weird his appearances on Idol. No matter how you feel about her, no one knows her personally. Yet she doesn’t deserve to be abused. There’s also kids involved. His behavior was becoming more and more alarming. This was bound to come out and people will be shocked for sure.
@Kimbob – You are probably right, if ever Marc hit her she must have hit him right back even harder. She did train self defense when she made the movie “Enough”.
I totally agree with #37.
But they have so much in common! He’s a giant ass… she has a giant ass… they are both egotistical beyond measure… how could their marriage possibly fail??
I remember the whole gaggy Bennifer thing – she was wild for him and deeply humiliated and hurt when he dumped her. Anthony had had a boner for her for ages apparently, so when he saw his opportunity to move in he ditched Ms. Whatever her title was and took up with JLO, who was sad enough to marry this little garden gnome. The only surprise here is that the marriage didn’t tank years ago.
I saw it coming, Jello actually got a gig at American Idiot because she was tired of Mark’s sh*t. JEllo’s the type of bitch who can’t be content with anything in her life and calls to demons with hen’s blood to fill that deep horrible gap. She got sick and tired of playing house so she had to get back to her famewhore shenanigans. Mark: WHY DID YOU DUMP A GODDESS LIKE DAYANARA FOR BLODDY-JELLO? anyways I wouldn’t bone Marc for all the money in the world, he might have a somehwat decent voice but he has that “PLAYA” vibe really strong. JELLO: GET READY TO PONY UP SOME TAX MONEYz cuz UNCLE SAM DOESN’T CARE IF YOUR BOOTY IS INSURED, THEY’RE GONNA GET CHA WITH YOUR UNMENTIONABLES DOWN! haahahahahahahah
Wow I really can not believe this. I thought these two will make it considering their similar background. Now I came to a full conclusion that every time a Hollywood couple seems they are at their “best” relationship they will divorce within weeks. Now we can expect Garner and Affleck to announce something – they have seemed like perfect family lately. And maybe Nicole and Keith thereafter.
I called my parents a little while ago & my mom told me this news…my dad was in the background asking “who are they?” LOL. Love you dad!!
Ok. Just had to make this observation…Why is the add running next to this story right now one for Jen’s shampoo commercial?
“It’s funny how money changes situations.” – LH
I don’t feel sorry for either one. They deserved each other.
Somehow I feel everything she does is for attention. If she got married for attention then their divorce timing is for attention. Unless he was abusing her, there’s no pity coming from here.
I’m surprised those two egos could live under the same roof for any length of time. Seriously though, if there’s any truth to the blinds about his behavior, it’s good they’re breaking up. Lopez is quite capable of spinning her new dating life to great PR effect. Should be entertaining to watch.
I’m shocked and saddened. Hopefully it wasn’t due to infidelity on anyone’s part. I didn’t think they physically went well together because he has a small/thin physique. I suppose they both have hot tempers being Latin.
I’m saddened that so many women here have been victims (and now hopefully survivors) of domestic violence. its a really serious issue for many women, so if this was truly happening to Jennifer, then I hope she gets past this and lives a happy life, for the sake of her children.
I think Marc cheated on her. Just as he cheated on his last wife with J-Lo.
Some people…wow…just wow. Talking as if they KNOW her. Jennifer didn’t marry Marc to “save face,” rather they were friendly (or became friendly) and he swooped in when she was most vulnerable as someone said.
Even if she is a “narcissit” I don’t think she was in a frame of mind to be as calculating as some are saying she was after her engagement to Ben Affleck was over. Didn’t anyone see her Behind the Music episode? Or remember her MTV Diary special?
She is driven but…wow, people sure do have stories! His marriage to Dayanara was on the rocks for forever. He always cheated and made a big show of renewing their vows. They were a golden couple and he was such a star that the Latin media treated him with kid gloves but eventually things filtered through…when they made up he made a big show of “proving” their love to each other with their renewal ceremony in Puerto Rico.
And Jennifer’s mom never liked him anyhow, there were rumors she thought he was controlling.
All of that made me and many fans see Marc Anthony in a new light. I pitied Jennifer Lopez…I think she will stay single. This is a big blow to her and rushing into a relationship will make her a target and I’m sure she knows it, plus she has kids and her career to think about. Hopefully, she’ll put off dating and start healing.
Lastly, to the person who kept refering to a “Latin community” Latin is a language not the people. I think in that case you use “Hispanic” or “LatinO.”
My prayers are with the family, no one wants to see a family break up or fall apart. I hope they get through it.
Oh and here’s proof that Jennifer didn’t “steal” Marc from Dayanara…I hope Kaiser reads it too:
http://www.people.com/people/article/0,,625308,00.html
This is the sorriest string of men she’s had. A waiter that she keeps having to hire lawyers to keep quiet, a cheating rapper, an alcoholic stripper chaser who left her at the altar in front of the world and then married another woman with the same name, and a double crossing tax avoiding beater who looks like an X-ray and left another wife and newborn for this?
How is it that her taste in men is worse than Rihanna or Pamela Anderson put together, yet her silly love life is more dramatic and interesting than any of her movies or music?
A special combination of little talent and a need for men who fawn over her until they have to deal with all that ego and one of them screams and runs for the door. She’s no Liz Taylor. That woman had two Oscars, hot dudes with sexy accents, acting chops, a passion for causes like AIDS, and a string of movies as classic as her lovers.
I don’t see JLo putting up with being any man’s punching bag. I think she’d give as good as she got. I have a feeling they just grew apart until there was nothing between them any more but the kids. And when you reach that point, the kids aren’t enough to hold a marriage together.
i have always always always thought that skeletor was a heroin addict-or some kind of drugs-but the sallow complexion, gaunt, a nd yellow bags under eyes-for years on end….plus the low weight-
something aint’ right with him….
and that is in addition to the creepy controlling vibe.
i actually now hate J Lo though, just like julia roberts and goopy-
24/7 news is not their friend-
their diva antics have turned me off for good….
of course, i dont wish any of them ill.
but after that dress she wore to meet the royals-astounded is an understatment, I tell ya…..
so whatever-
sounds like the split was a long time coming and will be in everyone’s best interests….
which may include the children-we dont know what type of environment they were in. perhaps this will be better for them in the long run .
but don’t the nannies raise them anyway?
Bummer. I feel bad for the twins.
It’s a pity.
It was really a match made in heaven. He is one of the grossest men ever, she is one of the cheapest divas ever.
Such talent-wise irrelevant celebs to become the perfect gossip material.
I bet she will land another one very soon b/c she desperately needs to expose her private life to be somehow relevant.
I didn’t see that coming either. I guess I thought she’d already made peace with him being one of the undead, so why now?
6 years is a long marriage for JLo. I’m kind of sad that this didn’t last.
Are you kidding? I saw this one coming a mile off. Its always when one of them starts getting famous, and J.Lo just had a big (unwelcome) comeback. They can’t keep that up for long.
I’m not surprised…but actually their marriage lasted longer than I thought it would be
“I guess I thought she’d already made peace with him being one of the undead, so why now?”
Bravo, @Melancholy, Bravo! That. Was. Good!
I did not really follow this couple, so I do not know their real history. Lopez seemed to be more famous and has been for years and a bit full of herself.
But I find it somewhat disturbing to have so many people accusing this man of domestic violence without any proof except “blind items”, which is not only unreliable but can be totally false. It is a very serious issue that affects many women and sometimes men, so before putting something like that out there as a “fact” needs to slow down.
Talk about tacky, silly rumors as this is a gossip site, and that is what it is for, but the issue of domestic violence is much too serious to be taken lightly and guessed at without sufficient proof, real proof.
She’ll probably go back to Diddy, (or whatever he’s called this week.)
She’s probably dating her dancer on her first video from back in May, who’s a hot Latin soapstar, and his wife left him in May because she said she needed her self-respect (I wonder who he was cheating with – JLO maybe?) And it has been rumoured for a while Marc is involved with one of his backup dancers.
@ Jag – Dude, those were TV shows. On MTV and VH1, no less. (No further comment required.)
Her song “Starting Over” may be a clue, she writes (or contributes to songwriters) pretty openly about her life in her albums.
http://youtu.be/DCp4xx9mu8U:
“He’s all right
He’s all wrong
He’s a player
He’s a dog
He’s my friend
He’s my foe
I just can’t leave him
I can’t go
I got my reasons
I got my pride
I got these kids
We got these ties
Had this love
Had these dreams
Falling apart at the seams
He’s my man when we’re at home
And it can’t hurt if I don’t know
All his secrets all his lies
I just keep pushing ‘em out my mind
I wish that everybody would stop judging
Pointing fingers its cutting
My heart is broken
And no better, feeling so bad.
I think people assumed that both of them being Puerto Rican is enough to hold them together but it isn’t. I don’t think she used him…he and their shared roots seemed like a refuge when Hollywood or at least the gossipers turned on her.
She has really bad luck, but hopefully her bad luck streak will end. What do you think Kaiser?
I’m no JLo apologist but it’s on record that she dumped Ben after he was caught with strippers not the other way around (she’s not one to turn a blind eye like his wife) AND the only reason she did American Idol in the first place was to pay off his tax debt. I am not going to condemn him as an abuser with no proof but I think it’s probable that she’s felt controlled and suffocated for years just looking at their body language when they were together. Glad she’s free of the mess bring on the next husband.
I can believe he was controlling – apparently he would even wait for her outside the ladies room at events. But I think more than anything he was just too in love and paranoid with her. She has more international stardom than he -cause he’s mosly big in Hispanic music world. She’s in great shape – can hardly wait for the next guy.lol
Ladies: any man who cheats on you or hits you JUST ONCE – dump the piece of shit. There are plenty of fish in the sea.
its rumored that they have been separated for a while and they are both dating others..
HE a former escort
HER someone in the entertainment biz
not shocked nor depressed, I’ve gotten used to her bouncing around
who is her 4th husband gonna be?
smdh
Min, the stripper thing was over and they had been fine together. Later on, two days before the wedding, Ben backed out. His career was in the toilet because of the whole Bennifer thing. She lives an Elizabeth Taylor type life, extravagant, made up all the time. I think he realized it’s not the life he wanted to lead,was over it. Their relationship imploded. He regrouped and went lowkey and rebuilt his career. Ben was the love of Jennifer’s life and she was so humiliated she married Marc on the rebound very quickly. Jennifer was the love of Marc’s life. I’m sure she stayed in this marriage longer than she wanted as someone said, so she wouldn’t be the punchline for jokes, plus she got the kids she wanted. People were making fun of someone whose almost third marriage was called off right before who then runs off and gets married in four months to someone else. She has issues for sure. Ben is breathing a heavy sigh of relief he is out of the fiasco. Though, I bet he and JLO had great sex. I always thought how hard it must be to go from Ben’s hot body to Marc’s ultra skinny body since she’s not a tiny girl.
I want BENNIFER back! (I do, I really do, I liked them together because they were totally nuts and balanced one another out)
@the original bellaluna – oh my gosh I just read your story. Glad you are safe now. Where is the guy though? I know a woman who was killed and her husband is in jail for murder but it turns out several months before she was a victim of a hit and run and I really wonder if it was really an accident.
I think Jen is very savvy business woman and she is ready to move on before her reputation is dragged to the mud (the tax thing and the abuse) I am not a fan of hers but I see her as a woman in control of most aspects in her life and she has work very hard professionally to lose thing for a man (Diddy and the whole shooting thing, Ben with the whole addiction and womanizing thing, and now Mark with being the tax thing).
As I say she is a very savvy business woman she is not about to get a man take her down with him.
And we will not hear a thing about the reasons why they broke up, just like they have never talked about their relationships before.
@Irmawati: I’m so sorry for you! This is not a good situation for you or your baby that is coming. Tigers don’t change their stripes. They really don’t. It’s not your fault this is happening and it’s not up to you to ‘fix’ the relationship. IMO you need to get out ASAP.
@Irmawati, I agree with theaPie. It’s only going to get worse. Don’t think he’s going to change after the baby comes because he won’t. Whatever happens, don’t let him try to lay a guilt trip on you. None of this is your fault. If it was me, I’d be out of there. But it’s your choice. You have to decide if you want to live with a lying, cheating piece of sh*t for the rest of your life.
Kaiser, if you can ever find footage of Marc and Jennifer at the NCLR ALMA Awards held in LA in 2006, it is worth it!
I think she was def vulnerable and afraid of hurting him and the marriage.
Also, Jewel’s (the singer) cousin gave a nice shout out to her in her speech
Two egomaniacs can not compromise, and a marriage is only kept alive through constant compromise.
I’m not surprised they split. They’re both incapable of being selfless.
@ TG – Colour me jaded, but I doubt it was an accident. It wouldn’t be the first time.
According to the story from my son’s father’s family (unwanted contact, BTW, via Facebook through my son) he is in jail in Indiana. (In jail is where I want him to be – safest for me & my son.) There are no words for the absolute panic I felt when I found out his family was contacting my son via Facebook. I was nearly hysterical. And it’s been 20 YEARS.
I still have panic attacks when I see someone who looks like him. I used to have to pull over when I saw a truck that looked like his; I was too upset to drive. I’ve gotten over that, but when I see someone who looks like him, I still panic. I think “How far do I have to go to get away from him? How has he found me this time?”
(Hubs assures me he’ll be shot on sight if he ever comes near me, but I still have fear of him. Amazing what one person can do to another.)
@Megan it’s 7 years not 6 Marc & Jen got married June 5th 2004. some people ust aren’t meant to be married and J Lis obviously one of those people and just because Marc cheated on Dayanara with Jen doesn’t mean he cheated on Jen
Nick and Vanessa In – Marc and JLo out. and all the colored girls go doo de doo de doo de doo de de doooooooo… uh huh.. (it’s a real song people dont trip)
Put me down as “not surprised in the least (except for how long they stayed together).”
TWO (SHORT) MARRIAGES/DIVORCES, 1 CANCELLED WEDDING before age 35 (?) for her, and he (already a cheat), quick-and-in-a-hurry DUMPED THE (Former Miss Universe) MOTHER OF HIS CHILDREN to latch on to this latin booty.
She (for the 3rd time) married within MONTHS after calling off another engagement (which was 48+ HOURS away from being a marriage), and he was re-married within 4 DAYS after his divorce.
With that immediate history, what made THIS marriage for either one of these swellheads any more of a “happily-ever-after” contender?
Please…
Hey Kaiser,
checkout the blind item on blindgossip.com
It seems like both have jump offs. Hers a co-worker and his a former escort.
Things that make ya go Hhhhmmmmm!
@ Victoria – LOVE that song. Doo-doo-doo-doo-de-duh-doo-doo-doo-doo-duh-dooooo! Lou something, right? He was freakin’ AWESOME! He was in a band and went solo.
Why should anybody be surprised of Jlo and Marc Anthony’s divorce. Jlo have a big ego and big ambitions, at Kate and Tom Cruise wedding heard she changed outfits more than once trying to upstage the bride, showed off all of her jewelry in HP,recent hit record, just pushed another star out of the way to meet the royals, and maybe she signed a huge contract for Idol, her star is now on the rise, she married Marc Anthony when her career was in the dunps, next move someone who is going to put her in the spotlight like Brangelina.
Good points callumna Feel sorry for the kids but not for these two fame whores; I saw Pitbull’s name mentioned as a possible hook up – please he’s a no talent reaggeton ass hat, autotuned lifts other people’s beats music is just a means to live the life – Marc antony may be no prize, and I’m not latin, but I’ve heard him sing and he can sing; maybe the marriage became intolerable because everyone knows who the real singer was with that pair. Just sayin.

i want bennifer bsck too….simply because it seems jennifer lopez was at her happiest i mean genuinely happy when she was with ben…and i think ben truly adored jlo but just wasnt prepaed for the attention and press that they received and is probably more comfortable being more lowkey…although ben is with jgar idk but they dont seem as happy and in love as they may want the world to think they are he seems over it already with her….i just think if they truly wanted to ignore the little superficial things that jennifer lopez and ben affleck could go all the way and stay there!!! best of luck jlo!
I always thought Chris Judd was her best pick, he didn’t seem to be controlling and let her be herself. Who knows who she’ll pick now. All I know is she needs someone who won’t care to be overshadowed by her success and will go along with all with her lifestyle.
I see the tabloids are clueless again .Another celeb couple breaks up yet the tabs insiders/sources/pals have no info but they keep putting made up wedding stories and fake baby bump stories.I hope this divorce is amicable . I just saw Mark on the Talk recently and he was very happy talking about JLo and interacting with her BFF Leah Remimni
Irmawati, I’m so sorry to hear about your situation. I’ve been married a long time, and it’s true that it takes work, commitment, etc. But the ONE piece of the puzzle that is ESSENTIAL to a lasting marriage is an honorable partner. That’s it. If you don’t start with that, it’s not going to work. Just take care of yourself and your baby and the right path will become clear in time. Hang in there!
@kimbob your bullet points are AWESOME and that is one thorough, realistic, and bitchy assessment of J.Lo and Marc relationship-LOVE IT!
You ask “Is this depressing to anyone else?” No, because she is still Jenny from the Block and she will be just fine. Me thinks that Marc was a bit wee jealous of all of her new found fame on American Idol and being the insecure man that he is, most likely wanted out. But wait….I have to say, in all fairness, Jenny from the Block is most likely insecure too. Yet I’d take her looks and money on any given day and nurse away the pain with more fabulous jewelry, trips and perhaps more lovers!
I thought this was a blind item where the guy couldn’t stand that her career had taken off again, so she was bigger than he was again. And she wanted it all for herself and didn’t like his whining. No surprise because I thought they were the ones. It’ll be interesting to see who gets the kids and how the divorce plays out in the press.
EPIC FAIL for this Blog–harping on Jen&ben constantly with NO PAYOFf and “never saw this coming” – lazy, and seeing what you want to see…
Maybe if you tried reporting instead of showing your biases constantly you would get something right…
@the original bellaluna – I kind of know how you feel. You should find out what jail and how long and ask to be notified if he is released and I don’t know what to do about his family but maybe your son needs to be told not to communicate with them. I am passionate about laws to protect women from abusers and unfortunately she has to end up dead before the bastard is ever put behind bars. Oh and keep that gun loaded and handy.
About JLo I saw this coming and just wish there weren’t kids involved. can’t see how she could ever share her twins.
We all don’t practice in our basements putting hex on old lovers, sometimes we do it in the bathroom for easy clean up.
I feel bad for JLO, I am def not a fan of her but let’s get the facts straight:
*Marc is a baby daddy for many
*He is having serious money issues
*Latin men have issues with women stealing their thunder
*Crazy + Crazy does not equal sane
take after my god Salma Valgarma Hayek Jiménez-Pinaul and snag the white billionaire.
She got pissed because she never got to see his eyes : /
I hope Jennifer has left Caesar Anchovy Arse because of his seemingly-abusive behaviour (if blind articles about these two are correct) and for no other PR-inspired reason. About time too. For her and her children’s sake I hope she never takes him back. Good riddance to bad rubbish. Domestic violence is never OK even if you’re $$$ celebrities.
A man is not a Man, if he hits a woman. I would pepperspray the p*ass jurk, and give him to police. And also let his workmates hear of it. And never forgive, even if children, life is too Short, and a child has to have good examples from mother. He shouldnt see that it is ok to take hits. Nobody should take Any physical violence. It is bether alone, than not 100% thrusth in your man, that he wont lay hand on you. And there’s a lot of men out there, no nead to suffer in bad relationship. It is all difficult, a child, finances, but even after 1 hit, my opinion is that the exuse for a man Has to go. A man should have power to cotroll his ways with a woman. All best and a lot of powers to make wright decisions to poor girls, who deal with vialent jurks. Who knows, what really went on in Jennifer and M.s marriage, but certainly everytime they seen together, his bodylanguage was controlive. Somebody already wrote about that.And the way he look, around her, never a smile, angryish, like trying to show everybody he’s the man… I liked when Jennifer was with Diddy, they looked good together. Diddy was cheater, but no women abuser. He didnt nead to be bothering his ego and show everybody whos the man of house, becose in his case it was clear. And it is not even about money. A man eather has selfconfidense in him as a real man, or he doesnt. Well, I dont know Marks issues, or try to say that I do. But he sure gives the impression of a person who would be doing all those distructive things, causing fights and controll….. I hope Jennifer gets back together with Sean, or Chris jud. And 3 marriages is not too much. The worst would be to stay in 1th, forever, even if Not happy. I believe marriage should be considered after atleast 20y. of beeing together. It is not good, ofcourse, to give a promice to God, and not keap it. Wish people wouldnt rush with marriages, that wont make any of it sweater than it is
@ TG – I’m in Cali, and we have some kind of confidential DMV/license thing. It keeps license and voter registration info out of abusers’ hands. Son changed his Facebook status, and after a long talk with his cousin (my abuser’s sister’s son) decided that he no longer wanted contact. Basically, abuser’s family tried to say they didn’t know what was going on. Which is interesting, since they were at the hearing for the restraining order.
I, too, am a big advocate for battered women. The saddest part is when they just WON’T LEAVE. What made me leave is when I (finally) realised that it was only a matter of time before he started beating my son, too. And wanting to be alive to raise him. It’s a really profound “come to Jesus” moment.
I also saw this coming, and I also wish kids weren’t involved. If abuse is not in the equation, can’t people put aside ego and at least make an effort to work it out? Marriage is work, people; hard work.
@ace – I beg to differ. This blog has been great. You want to see epic fail go to the ones that bring out the brangaloonies and aniston freaks.
I don’t care for either of them, and figured they’d split up eventually, given their histories, but it is sad because there are two young kids involved now.
I’m sure her revitalized career was part of it – either she didn’t feel she needed him anymore, or more likely, he was jealous and controlling, or screwing around while she was working.
Wish I knew about body language but would be interested to know the time sequence of the shots of JLo in the red and green dress were taken. The one in the green she looks like she’s snuggling into Mark – but in the one with the red dress it’s like he’s trying to hang on to her and she’s leaning as far away from him as she can get.
I actually like her a little now…well played JLo.
@Irmawati
Why did you marry him? Get to know who you marry BEFORE you marry them. I see it all the time here in Utah. All the mormons marry young to have sex and then get divorced in a few years.
DON’T GET MARRIED IF YOU ARE WILLING TO DIVORCE!
to whoever else was talking to me. Your grandma shouldn’t have married an abusive man. If you spend enough time with someone you know how they are!
Gossip I always heard over the years from my Bronx peeps that grew up with her:
1. She hasn’t been single since she started dating. Before the 1st husband, She had a long term relationship that started back in high school and ended around the time she met the 1st husband.
2. My friend’s father dabbled in certain things and knew Marc Anthony’s “godfather”. Marc Anthony had been obsessed with her for years and put out a santaria spell to finally land her.
3. Blew some producer/director type to become a fly girl or a role in something. too long ago to remember now.
4. Crappy taste in men.
5. I’ve heard that while he may think crack is wack, he might not have the same feelings about coke…
I think the only reason she may be single for a while is because she has children. Now she has to think of how her choices will affect them. I just hope she isn’t dumb enough to get married again…
Oh, and I hope there is a prenup.
@Irmawati
Do not stay with him. Find a good man and GET TO KNOW HIM…I am a new mom as well, she is 14 months old…it is wonderful…I am the bread winner, my husband is unemployed…no marriage is perfect….they all take work….but not the one you are in….he doesn’t honor you…
wonder what happend well we will find out in the future
There were rumors she cheated on him with a cuban actor, William Levy. But I don’t believe it, since media always hook him up with any women he interacts with.
Also, wouldn’t be surprise if he abused her, I believe he did it with his ex, Dayanara Torres…
JLo and Marc were fine up until Marc signed on to be a regular on Hawthorne, when you work on a TV series the hours are brutal, we’re talking 14-16 hour days, Jlo is not used to Marc not being around all the time and she couldn’t adjust. People keep saying that Marc was always with her that he was possesive and such, while I don’t doubt that he was possessive and maybe even insecure being with such a beautiful woman, but Jlo loved having him around and has said so herself in many interviews that they are always together and she preferred it that way, she loved being adored, heck worshipped by him, cut to now he is never around because he’s busy on a TV show, so now SHE has to take a back seat to his job, they are not seen together for most of June and then BOOM they annouce they are divorcing. This is all about JLo not being No.1, her not being the priority, she wants her man at her beck and call, look at all her past relationships. With all that being said I do believe they will get back together, they know each other too well, too much history and of course they have children together, they will work it out, this is just JLo’s way of getting Marc’s attention.
@K MAC
Dream on, lol. I think a you stand a better chance of a P Diddy reunion.
I think Ben ‘talentless & talentless’ Affleck would spit at the thought of her.
Which is a pity cause they were cute together and sure entertained us.
I think by this time next week nobody will be talking about them.
Ben would never leave Jennifer for Jennifer. The MvM would cringe at the lost of the father to the dimple parade. I also don’t see Jennifer getting into a relationship this soon. Before there was not 2 small children in her life. That makes a difference.
But anyway. Unless something scandalous comes out this will be just another divorce.
Sad.. but divorces happen all the time in and outside Hollywood.
@ Susan — The rumor is that he was beating her. Would you stay with your husband if he beat you?! You’d let your kids live in that environment?! When a marriage becomes physically violent, ESPECIALLY when children are involved, “for better or for worse” goes out the window. Your safety and the safety of your children are WAY MORE IMPORTANT than your vows.
@min76 why do you come on here and say things that just aren’t true…I know from other posts that you hate ben affleck, but get the story straight….HE called off the wedding because he couldn’t take the publicity and that they had become a joke…look it up….
@Susan: Stop blaming the victim for the situation she is in. That is unacceptable and appalling and exactly what will keep her right where she is.
@Irmawati: Ignore idiots like Susan.
Calm down ladies, I doubt susan was implying jen should stay with an abusive husband. She probably was not aware of this piece of gossip, and just referring to the fact that many people just give up on their relationships when it gets hard. I understand that many of you when have been through a lot but jumping all over another women because you twist her words doesn’t fix any thing.but honestly, if the choices were them just not working through their issues, and him being abusive, for her sake, I hope that they just weren’t willing to work on it, rather than being abused.
Franny is correct. I would rather be single and have my daughter have no dad then her have an abusive one. Basically what I was saying IS people give up too fast! They just decide that this isn’t convenient anymore and pull the plug. To me that is lazy and why bother getting married in the first place. Just live together! Goldie Hawn/Kurt Russell and Susan Sarandon/Tim Robbins got it right in that respect! For SS and TR things didn’t work (after like 20 years), and they split (No divorce). If you aren’t willing to put in the extra work, don’t walk down the isle….
Re: the whole George Clooney and Jlo possible match up. He didn’t like her on the the set of out of sight. He said kissing her was like kissing a cold fish. lol So don’t see that happening.
Well diva or not I feel for Jennifer and her children. I think Marc is just horrid, so I’m glad she’s moving on. I think Jennifer has good heart and she can do better than him.
Why is this surprising. J-lo’s back in style, and Marc Anthony is not quite famous enough.
