J-Lo & Marc Anthony: Falling apart

The cracks deepen as the fiery couple spend some time apart

Monday, 7 September 2009

Having just returned from two weeks on a luxury Mediterranean holiday, you might expect Jennifer Lopez and husband Marc Anthony, both 40, to be more loved-up than ever.

But their trip, which took in secluded hotspots such as the romantic Italian island of Ischia, wasn’t enough to stop the cracks deepening in their marriage.

‘First of all, the purpose of this vacation was to celebrate Jenny’s completion of her movie The Back-Up Plan, which basically took her away from Marc and the twins Max and Emme for almost five months,’ a source tells Now.

‘But when she was planning the trip she wanted to bring along a bunch of her friends and even her make-up artist. Marc didn’t want to fight, so he agreed to that and brought three of his own buddies.

‘It meant they had hardly any time alone and the two entourages barely mixed at all. Marc and Jen don’t do anything romantic any more and they’re constantly fighting over the smallest things. They really need time for each other, but it isn’t happening.'

J-Lo recently admitted that the couple have struggled to adapt to life with Max and Emme, 18 months, and that at times the marriage has been hard work.

‘It totally changes your perspective on everything,’ she said. ‘There’s nothing as huge as giving birth to another human being and having to be responsible for another life.'

With J-Lo now on her third marriage, friends say that despite all the troubles – which even led to her consulting a lawyer about the possibility of a divorce earlier this year – she’s determined to make it work.

Jennifer recently made an astonishingly frank admission. ‘How do two totally different people come together, make one life and say they’ll do it for ever and ever?’ she said.

‘This is my third time. In my other marriages, I didn’t try enough, which was immature and not knowing better. I’m old enough to know now that relationships take work.’

I don't believe they were that into each other in the first place. I don't care what they say. I think it has been a facade most of the time. He is too down to earth for her.

I do not believe a word of this. Why? Because paps are always trying to separate this couple.

Tabloids rely on readers with short memories to help them stay in business. Since their marriage 5 years ago, this couple has contradicted each negative prediction they've been subjected to.

I just hope for the best. They have children together and like she said they are different people, it does take work, love and understanding from the both of them.
