Jennifer Lopez and Marc Anthony to Split


Jennifer Lopez and Marc Anthony decided to give one another the “ex.” The actress, 41, and the singer, 42, have been married for seven years, having made their vows in June 2004 at a surreptitious guest party at Lopez’s Beverly Hills home. Now they are drifting apart with just as little fuss.

They made their decision public in a joint statement made to PEOPLE. The statement says they are going to dissolve their marriage by a mutual amicable decision.

Lopez and Anthony added that they are undergoing a painful and difficult time and would appreciate if their privacy was treated with due respect.
