NEW YORK, Feb 20th, 2012 (NYDN) -Jennifer Lopez and husband, Marc Anthony, are trying to break the trend of nasty celebrity divorces. Everyone from Katy Perry to Arnold Schwartneger have had their very heated, very public divorces splashed all over the news in the past year. Lopez and Anthony, however, are doing everything in their power to keep the press out of their divorce.
Since the couple announced their split, Lopez has only given one interview about the divorce. During the interview with Vanity Fair, Lopez talked about why the relationship had turned sour.
Lopez said that she and Anthony were no longer good for each other, that they had been compromising themselves for the sake of the relationship, and that the right thing to do was to walk away from the relationship. During the interview Lopez expressed her certainty that divorce was the best thing for both her and Anthony.
Since that interview, Lopez has made it clear to the press not to question her about her divorce.
When asked about the divorce on the Today Show, Lopez simply stated that the Vanity Fair interview was the one any only time she would open up to the public about her divorce.
During the Today Show interview, Lopez did refer to slight communication issues between her and Anthony. Lopez would not answer any other questions about the divorce.
Anthony and Lopez decided together to keep the details surrounding their divorce quiet according to Lopez. The couple believes that this is the right thing to do not only for them, but for their children.
Despite their impending divorce, Lopez and Anthony have been sucessfully maintaining their professional relationship. The couple is co-hosting and producing the reality TV show, Q’Viva – The Chosen.
Lopez has described her working relationship with Anthony as less than tranquil at times since the split, but the two have reportedly had no major problems collaborating on the project.
The couple announced their split back in July of last year. Lopez and Anthony both described the divorce and amicable and asked for the public to respect their privacy.
Lopez and Anthony have two children together, 3-year-old twins, Max and Emme.
