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 and Marc Anthony may have renewed their wedding vows a mere three months ago, but their rocky romance will likely bite the dust right after Valentine’s Day, says an insider.
“Marc and Jennifer are planning on announcing their divorce right after Marc’s show at Madison Square Garden on Feb. 14,” a friend of the couple tells us. “Jennifer is planning on joining Marc onstage for a surprise duet. Things haven’t been right for a while now, and they thought it would be a bittersweet farewell.”
Definitely one for theatrics in arenas, J.Lo confessed her pregnancy at a sold-out show in Miami during her El Cantante tour in November 2007 and will employ the same shock value a second time around.
“They’re definitely planning a clean break in February,” the source insists.
The couple, who have been married just over four years and are the parents of 10-month-old twins Max and Esme, renewed their vows in a surprise Las Vegas ceremony back in October, but sources close to the pair say that it didn’t help, and that their relationship has been on a downward spiral in recent months. Lopez, 39, set tongues wagging when she arrived at “The Curious Case of Benjamin Button” premiere in early December without her wedding or engagement rings.
Similarly, Marc, 40, has been spotted ditching his own wedding band at N.Y.C. hot spots such as Bungalow 8. He was also caught partying — bandless — with pal Eva Longoria Parker at Lavo in Las Vegas on Dec. 8.
“They were there along with Russell Crowe and his brother Bigram [Zayas]. Marc had been needing to blow off some steam for a while, and this was a good chance to do it. He was trying to be on his best behavior because there were photographers around, so he didn’t get too crazy, but he had fun without Jennifer,” a spy tells us. “Marc’s ready to move on. The fighting has been too much for him to handle lately.”
A rep for Anthony would only say that “none of the rumors are true”; a rep for Lopez didn’t respond.
Unfortunately for Jenny from the Block, this is one unfunny Valentine.
More than four years after they tied the knot, Jennifer Lopez and Marc Anthony renewed their wedding vows early Sunday morning at Caesars Palace in Las Vegas.
The ceremony — which took place at the newly renovated Forum Tower Penthouse — was officiated by Reverend Steven Smith; two friends served as witnesses.
New York Mets player Carlos Beltran and his wife Jessica also renewed their vows, a source tells Usmagazine.com.
Lopez and Anthony began their night with dinner in a private room at Bradley Ogden at Caesars Palace. Then they played craps in the main room, where both Anthony and Beltran won, says the source.
Afterwards, they headed to the Pussycat Dolls show, followed by Pure Nightclub, where the group had reserved three tables. A source tells Us Lopez and Anthony started asking around for the minister while they were at Pure around 12:30 a.m. and then headed up to their room to meet the minister at 3 a.m.
Beltran and his wife renewed their vows first; then, at about 3:30 a.m., Lopez and Anthony had their own ceremony.
Says the source: “It was very intimate and sweet. They both talked about how much they love each other. The word ‘forever’ was used a lot!”
(The source says twins Max and Emme were down the hall in the same suite, being watched over by Lopez’s parents.)
After the ceremony ended around 4 a.m., the minister left, and the butler brought in a bottle of Dom Perignon Rose champagne, says the source. The group toasted and moved to the area near the piano in the suite, where they talked and laughed until early in the morning, the source adds.
