Jennifer Lopez and Marc Anthony met in 1998 while Anthony was performing on Broadway. That same year, Lopez broke up with her first husband, Ojani Noa. In Lopez’s memoir, True Love, she wrote that the first words Anthony said to her were, “One day you’re going to be my wife.” Although the pair dated briefly that year, their relationship didn’t really start until 2004.

The pair both had other short-lived marriages to other people before 2004. They only dated for 6 months before getting hitched this time. They had twins together in 2008 and announced they were separating in 2011. Although the two still collaborate musically sometimes, they haven’t been able to make it work offstage in years. Read on to find out who Lopez’s ex-fiance (before Anthony) is breaking up with now.
