Jennifer Lopez & Marc Anthony

When Jennifer Lopez met Marc Anthony in 1998, she was fresh off her breakout role in the biopic Selena. They met backstage at a Broadway show and quickly became friends and partners, only to reconnect with Anthony after the breakup of her relationship with Affleck. The timing seemed to be finally perfect, and they both tied the knot in a surprise wedding at Lopez’s Beverly Hills home in a true fairy-tale style.

Lopez had a successful year in 2011. Her marriage, on the other hand, was falling apart behind the scenes. After seven years of marriage, the couple declared their separation in July 2011 to the surprise and sadness of both their fans. These days, they’re the sweetest of chart-topping ex-spouses, popping up in each other’s social media pages with their kids and giving into their fans’ chants of “Kiss! Kiss!” during award shows. Anthony and Lopez have gone onto new partnerships, new music, and new business investments in the years after their breakup. However, one can never deny the love between the former couple.
