Lopez and Anthony’s first exchange of marriage vows was just as surprising as their second, back in June 2004. In February of this year, they welcomed their first children together, twins Max and Emme. The twins are the first children for Lopez and the fourth and fifth for Anthony.
The couple has also taken its collaboration from the personal to the professional level. They recorded the duets “No Me Ames,” on Jennifer’s 1999 album “On the 6” and “Escapémonos” on Marc’s 2004 album “Amar Sin Mentiras,” among others.
They starred together in 2007’s “El Cantante,” a biopic about salsa legend Hector Lavoe, with Anthony in the title role and Lopez as Lavoe’s wife, Nilda. Also last year, they embarked on a joint tour that grabbed headlines due to Lopez’s interesting stage appearances – she was pregnant already and showing it but she only revealed the baby news during one of the couple’s last shows.
