LOS ANGELES: Superstar singer and actress Jennifer Lopez will split with her musician and actor husband, Marc Anthony, after seven years of marriage, the couple revealed to People magazine in a joint statement Friday.
“This was a very difficult decision. We have come to an amicable conclusion on all matters,” they said in the statement.
The couple had dated briefly in the 1990s and then rekindled their romance in 2004. They were married in a June 2004 secret ceremony at Lopez”s Beverly Hills home.
They are parents to 3-year-old twins Max and Emme, who were born in February 2008.

This year the 41-year-old Lopez topped People”s magazine”s annual list of the most beautiful people.
After taking time off to become a mother in 2008, the Bronx, New York-born, Puerto Rican actress returned to the public eye earlier this year with a star turn as one of three talent judges on “American Idol.” She also released her seventh studio album, “Love?” in April.
She is scheduled to star in next year”s film adaptation of the best-selling book, “What to Expect When You”re Expecting,” which will begin shooting in this summer, according to Lopez”s website.
