Just two friendly exes! Marc Anthony has scored an invitation to ex-wife Jennifer Lopez’s upcoming nuptials to fiancé Alex Rodriguez, Us Weekly can exclusively confirm.
Celebrity Weddings of 2020“Marc Anthony will be at J. Lo and A-Rod’s wedding,” a source tells Us, adding that the former couple “have always sustained a healthy and respectful relationship” following their split in 2011.
Lopez, 50, and Anthony, 51, tied the knot in June 2004 in an intimate home wedding. The longtime pals briefly dated in the 1990s, but ultimately rekindled their romance in early 2004 after the “On the Floor” singer ended her engagement to Ben Affleck and the “Vivir Mi Vida” separated from his wife, Dayanara Torres.
In July 2011, a rep for Lopez and Anthony confirmed to Us that the duo made the “very difficult decision” to end their marriage. The breakup was “an amicable conclusion on all matters.”

The former couple were able to build a strong friendship following their separation, but the journey to get there wasn’t easy. Speaking to W magazine in 2016, the Golden Globe nominee revealed how she’s strengthened her relationship with Anthony for their children’s sake.
“When my marriage [to Anthony] ended, it was not easy to find forgiveness,” she said at the time. “It wasn’t the dream that I had hoped for, and it would have been easier to fan the flames of resentment, disappointment and anger. But Marc is the father of my children, and that’s never going away. So, I have to work to make things right. And that is, by far, the hardest work I do.”
Lopez also told the publication, “I hung in there for seven years. I knew very quickly that it wasn’t the right thing.”
