Jennifer Lopez looked radiant at the Golden Globe Awards in Los Angeles on January 11 as she and her husband, Marc Anthony, happily posed for pictures together before the show. Still, after weeks of speculation that they were on the verge of a split, onlookers wondered if the couple was just putting on a happy face — especially because J. Lo was once again not wearing her wedding ring. But the star, decked out in a gorgeous gold Marchesa gown and jewelry from Lorraine Schwartz, finally put the rumors to rest in an exclusive interview with In Touch at The Beverly Hilton. “Every time I’m not wearing my ring, people think I’m getting divorced,” Jennifer said, with a laugh. “That’s crazy! It just didn’t go with the dress.”
As In Touch and several outlets have previously reported, Jennifer and Marc had gone through a rough patch after the birth of their children, Max and Emme, in February. “Once they had their twins, Jennifer focused on the babies and she didn’t have enough time in the day to give Marc the attention he desired,” claimed a source. They were even rumored to be planning to announce a split after Marc performs at New York’s Madison Square Garden this upcoming Valentine’s Day.
But as J. Lo and Marc held hands in unity at the Globes, she told In Touch that a breakup just isn’t happening. “Divorce is not — and was never — an option,” she said. In fact, an insider reveals that Marc flew home from a tour stop in Colombia so he could be by his wife’s side at the awards show. Still, the couple, who wed in 2004, have experienced some growing pains in their marriage. “Every relationship has its ups and downs, particularly when it’s as public as Jennifer and Marc’s,” Benny Medina, Jennifer’s close friend and godfather to Emme, tells In Touch.

Jennifer Lopez, who at the moment has rumours swirling that her marriage is on the rocks after being photographed not wearing her wedding ring, now has her ring on as she shops at Barneys Of New York in Beverly Hills, California.

Rumors swirled that Jennifer Lopez’s marriage was on the rocks after she showed up to the premiere of The Curious Case of Benjamin Button last week without her 8-carat diamond engagement ring, wedding band – or ever present husband, Marc Anthony (who was spotted in Las Vegas sans wedding band the weekend before).
Multiple sources confirm to to Us Weekly their marriage is at a breaking point.
“They both didn’t wear their rings on purpose,” a mutual pal of the married couple of four years (who renewed their vows in October) tells Us. “Nothing Jennifer does is without purpose.”
While Anthony’s rep insists to Us, “They are doing great,” a source tells Us deep trouble has been brewing.
“He’s very, very controlling of her,” a close Anthony pal tells Us. “The skirts aren’t as short. You don’t see so much of that booty anymore.” The new Us Weekly also reports that Anthony also picks out Lopez’s clothes and keeps tabs on her phone calls.
But Lopez — who once claimed she “loved getting his opinions” — has become less interested in his approval since the birth of their 10-month-old twins, Max and Emme.
“She walks in from work, washes her hands and grabs the babies,” a longtime friend tells Us. “With him, it’s almost like, ‘Ugh, they’re crying again?’”
Another problem: Lopez — who once commanded $15 million per film — “blames Marc for her career going down the tubes,” says a mutual pal, adding that she’s bitter about the failure of their 2006 drama, El Cantante, which only grossed $7.5 million. (Her 2002 flick Maid in Manhattan earned over $94 million.)
“Jennifer looked around and said, ‘This is my life now? I’m a Long Island housewife?’” a pal says. “She hates that everything she worked for went down the tubes.”
Lopez isn’t the only one with growing resentment toward her husband. Her best friend, Leah Remini, also can’t stand him.
“It if was up to her, Leah would just break them up today,” a pal says.
Anthony has also been badmouthing his wife. One night after their tense family Thanksgiving in which the couple “didn’t sit together,” Anthony hit NYC hotspots Bungalow 8 and Marquee, where he was spotted with his hand on a woman’s thigh and overheard complaining about his wife to a group of women, “telling them, ‘She’s making me miserable,’” a source says.
His club spree didn’t stop there: The next night, he was photographed by TMZ.com partying sans wedding band with pal Eva Longoria Parker and Russell Crowe in Las Vegas. (A source says, “According to Jennifer, he didn’t cheat.”)
The pair, who hadn’t been spotted together since Oct. 23 — and the very public removal of their wedding bands — had dinner Tuesday at Beverly Hills restaurant Luau, which they left holding hands.

Jennifer Lopez has signed on to star in Plan B, a new fertility-themed romantic comedy.
Lopez will play a single woman who “turns to artificial insemination to answer her ticking biological clock only to meet the man of her dreams on the same day as her positive pregnancy test results,” Variety reports.
Shooting begins in April or May.
Lopez knows a thing or two about babies: She welcomed twins Max and Emme in February.
“Max is like Marc [Anthony, her husband]. He’s got Marc’s lungs, and he screams and he’s strong, very boy,” she recently told Entertainment Tonight. “Emme’s very delicate and quiet, but you can’t mess with her!”
Overall, the twin babies “are so great! They’re getting so big. They’re sitting up and have little teeth coming out.”
