After all these years, here’s what we know about the former couple’s tumultuous decades-long relationship.
Anthony came on strong.
Was he prescient or just self-assured?
Perhaps a little of both.
But he definitely got Lopez’s attention.
The pair dated for several months before splitting up and going their separate ways, as Insider reported.
Work may have been a healthy distraction for Lopez widely known in the entertainment industry as a hardworking perfectionist.
So when she saw Anthony again, she decided to think that the hand of destiny was guiding her.
And she was determined to pay attention.
“In that moment, I needed to believe that; I needed to believe in something.
The reality was, I didn’t want to be alone.
Signs of marital trouble surfaced early
By 2004, Jennifer Lopez had been married three times.
Despite these experiences, Lopez’s ability to judge long-term marital happiness apparently didn’t improve.
The couple separated in July 2011, and their divorce was finalized in 2014 (perInsider).
Lopez also told W, “When my marriage ended, it was not easy to find forgiveness.
But Marc is the father of my children and that’s never going away.
So, I have to work to make things right.
And that is, by far, the hardest work I do,” as Female internet mentioned.
She blamed her poor self-esteem for creating problems in her marriage.
Namely, Lopez says she suffered from low self-esteem.
I never gave myself credit for being good at anything.”
Still, Lopez casts the divorce as a learning experience.
