Accordinng to peopleenespanol.com
a rep for the actress
denies that the couple's
relationship is on the
rocks.
Jennifer Lopez
and Marc Anthony
are not facing marital
woes. “Things between
them are good," said
Lopez's rep Blanca Lasalle
to People En Espanol.com.
“The information recently
divulged in tabloids purports
that Marc and Jennifer
are separated and those
accusations are untrue,
absolutely malicious,
false and defamatory,"
said Lasalle.
The
rumors started to circulate
when the two were not
seen together on various
occasions.
“They're fabricated stories.
They're still together.
He went out with his friends,
and she went out with
hers. There's nothing
wrong with that,"
Lasalle said.
Additionally, People.com
reported that the couple
was seen at Luau restaurant
in Beverly Hills, feeding
each other. “Lopez had
an apple martini and Anthony
drank beer. They looked
very much in love,"
says the website.
Marco
Antonio Muniz
(born September 16, 1968)
is an American singer/songwriter/actor
of Puerto Rican descent,
popular in Latin America
for his salsa music and
ballads.
Anthony was born Marco
Antonio Muniz in New York
City, the son of Guillermina,
a housewife, and Felipe
Muniz, a musician and
hospital lunchroom worker.
His parents were Puerto
Rican and named
him after Marco Antonio
Muniz. He has a sister
named Yolanda
Muniz.
Anthony
has a daughter, Arianna
(1994), with
his NYPD police officer
ex-girlfriend
Debbie Rosado.
Anthony married former
Miss Universe Dayanara
Torres on May
9, 2000 in Las Vegas.
They have two sons, Cristian
Anthony Muniz (February
5, 2001) and Ryan Anthony
Muniz (August 16, 2003).
It was a rocky marriage,
and they separated in
early 2002. They later
reconciled and renewed
their vows in a spectacular
ceremony held in Puerto
Rico in December 2002.
The couple's final separation
was in October 2003. Torres
filed for divorce in January
2004.
In
2003, a Miami waitress
filed paternity charges
against Anthony; multiple
DNA-tests, the last in
August 2004, disproved
her claims.
As
his divorce proceeded,
Anthony was seen out with
actress-singer Jennifer
Lopez, a long-time friend
he had worked with in
music videos. They had
briefly dated in the late
'90s, before his first
marriage and her second
one. Lopez and Anthony
were recording a duet
together in early 2004,
for Lopez's then-upcoming
film Shall We Dance?.
Lopez and Anthony married
in a quiet home wedding
on June 5, 2004, less
than a week after his
divorce from Torres was
finalized on June 1. On
the morning of the wedding,
however, the media was
tipped off and circled
her backyard in helicopters.
Photographs, alerting
the rest of the world,
soon followed. Reports
fueled rumors that Lopez
was pregnant but this
was not the case.
Their
guests had been invited
to an "afternoon
party" at Lopez's
house and had not been
made aware that they were
actually going to her
wedding. The couple had
planned not to publicize
their marriage early on,
allowing more privacy
and time together in an
otherwise intrusive environment.
Days after the wedding,
Anthony refused to comment
on their marriage during
interviews which were
scheduled earlier to promote
a new album "Amar
Sin Mentiras" (To
Love Without Lies), which
would earn him a Grammy
award the following year..
In February 2005 Lopez
confirmed the marriage,
and added that "everyone
knows. It's not a secret".
A few months later, Anthony's
daughter, Ariana, appeared
at the beginning and the
end of her new stepmother
Jennifer's music video
music video "Get
Right" as her little
sister. Regarding his
marriage and family life,
Anthony maintains a private
and sometimes defensive
stance with the media,
which has influenced Lopez
to set some boundaries
with interviewers.
After
weeks of speculation,
on November 8, 2007, Marc
and Jennifer confirmed
to fans in a Miami concert
that they were expecting
their first child together.
Fraternal twins were born
to the couple on February
22, 2008 in a hospital
in Long Island, New York.
Emme Maribel Muniz at
12:12 am (5 lbs, 7 oz)
and Maximilian David Muniz
at 12:13 am (5 lbs, 13
oz) by C-section. They
were introduced in People
magazine in the March
11, 2008 issue. People
paid $6 million for the
photos.
