Jennifer Lopez, Marc Anthony’s Marriage Is Falling Apart Because of Money

Marc Anthony and Jennifer Lopez are heading to divorce because of money problems, says report

With Marc Anthony owing the IRS $3.4 million in back taxes, pressure is huge to make a lot of money fast to pay the debt off. It would seem that these money problems are also taking a toll on his marriage to Jennifer Lopez, it has emerged.

No strangers to breakup stories, Jennifer and Marc are again making headlines, with In Touch Weekly (story via here) saying that they’re seeing their marriage go down the drain.

There are several reasons why their relationship isn’t working anymore, the tab claims: lack of communication, work and hectic schedules, different needs from life and, last but not least, money.

With the IRS debt hanging over him, Marc is stressed out to pay it off and has just booked more dates for his tour – just as Jennifer is making her debut on American Idol, and shortly after agreeing to move with her to LA.

“Tension has been building between Jennifer and her husband, Marc Anthony, for a while. ‘They kept it bottled up while she was trying for the job on Idol, but now it’s all coming out,’ an insider close to the pair tells In Touch. ‘Marc, especially, is cracking’,” In Touch writes.

Marc agreed to move to LA, but Jennifer knows he wouldn’t last here long because he needs to move around all the time. This would probably explain why he’s booked more dates.

“A friend admits he gets restless quickly. Now spending less time with their twins, Max and Emme, 2, Marc is so ‘money hungry,’ the insider says, that he is heading on tour in February, just as Idol begins. And in their case, absence doesn’t make the heart grow fonder,” In Touch says.

“Marc, 42, doesn’t communicate well with Jennifer, 41, on the phone, the insider shares: ‘He either yells at her or doesn’t take her calls. From what I can see, they just aren’t getting along’,” writes the mag.

Instead of staying at home with his family to deal with whatever issues they have, Marc is making preparations to go on tour, thus putting more distance between himself and his wife.

Add to that the fact that, when he’s on tour, he usually drinks more and gets more flirty with girls – “a situation that a strong, independent woman like J. Lo certainly wouldn’t tolerate for long” – and you get the recipe for marriage failure and divorce, the same publication says.

I hope they break up, after what J.Lo did to Dayannara Torres and her two children; she does not deserve happiness at someone else's expense. J.Lo not only had an affair with Marc Anthony, she broke up a home with two small children keeping their father away, and now she wants a happy home for her children. Marc

Comment #3.1 by: Haydee on 12 Jul 2011, 13:48 GMT

I need to say that they were in love before he met Danayara(ex-wife). she was the only one between Marc and J LO. After many years they finaly married and I think after many things between them and finaly their dream come true, they should talk and try to keep their married.

Comment #3.2 by: Bear on 16 Jul 2011, 04:35 GMT

I agree with Mia. Dayanara has the last laugh. Not that Marc is a good guy either. Womanizer is what he is. I don't like jlo. She is fugly. Can't sing. Always made up even in maid in manhattan. Our maid is more beautiful and she is not even wearing makeup.

Comment #3.3 by: mariposa on 22 Jul 2011, 02:31 GMT

I absolutely agree with you! I wish only someone could put J.Lo on the spot and throw that one in her face for what she did to a home. Not that Marc was innocent in that deception but when will women learn, you dont go after a married man regardless because one day, another woman will do the same to you since he has a pattern of doing that. But somehow she must of thought she was the special one that Marc could never conceive of cheating on her. Very sad how selfish J Lo can be


Comment #4 by: Mia on 25 Apr 2011, 19:28 UTC reply to this comment

Jennifer Lopez doesn't deserve all the happiness that has come her way, let us all remember she is a home-wrecker. Jennifer Lopez was a shadow in the marriage of Marc Anthony and Dayannara Torres for years. As far as I am concerned the one that should be doing Gucci, Loreal, Venus commercials should be Dayannara Torres to provide for the two kids Marc Anthony walked out on. J.Lo should experience poverty, perhaps this will make her a better person, and change the selfish self-centered person she is. The only good in J.Lo is her children, and it seems she spends a whole lot more on her than on her own children. J.Lo needs to grow as a person, demonstrate respect for another woman, especially that of her own race! How could it be that she gets rewarded for breaking up a home, and now we are supposed to feel sorry for her possible break up to Marc Anthony, they both deserve to pay for what they've done. I feel very badly for the humiliation they put Dayannara Torres through, not to mention the pain her children have been through.

Comment #4.1 by: hanyy on 18 Jul 2011, 11:26 GMT

bear : Oh pleasezzzzzz woman ..don't be such a jealous * ..JLO is mindblowing in looks as well as her singing ..who are u anyways to say yr maid is beautiful than her ..post a pic :P


Comment #5 by: Mia on 25 Apr 2011, 19:40 UTC reply to this comment

In addition to my two comments: What has J.Lo done for her own ppl? Dayannara drowned herself in tears for three days, had to face the media after public humiliation, wrote a book to support other woman who may have, or may be going through the heart ache, and humiliation she experienced after her painful divorce due to infidelity. Dayannara has provided scholarships for poor children in Puerto Rico, and has proven to have more class and self-control than J.Lo. It's just not right to break up a home with children, and cause pain to another woman, especially a sister of your own race! If they're going through problems..it serves them right!

Comment #5.1 by: Suite on 16 Jul 2011, 21:43 GMT

Amen, Mia.

Comment #5.2 by: mv on 17 Jul 2011, 03:17 GMT

I am with you on all you said. My BF always said, no puedes sembrar felicidad sobre la INFELICIDAD de otro "YOU CAN't have happiness over another's unhappiness" so JLO can't expect to have happiness if she was the cause of Marc's divorce from beautiful Dianara.

Hi mia.....please stop talking bad about jlo ...why are hatting on her???

Breaking up a marriage.....!.goes around comes around!

Comment #6.1 by: Suite on 16 Jul 2011, 21:45 GMT

Right, and Alicia Keys is next. She stole Swizz Beatz from his wife and newborn children. I can't wait for him to leave her. Trust me, it's coming.

That's absolutely true. Two thumbs up to your comment.

I'm with j lo now!


Comment #10 by: Angel on 15 Jul 2011, 23:07 UTC reply to this comment

May God help them. They both talented. I hope they work it out. If reference to the ex.- let's grow up and see the big pic. His previous marriage didn't work b/c an insecure woman is at fault for destroying her own marriage. She could of gain a friend w/Jen but became ill with celos That has nothing to do with Jen. God bless.


Comment #11 by: lovee on 16 Jul 2011, 00:04 UTC reply to this comment

jennifer has just left marc to be with another man, like she's done all of her other husbands....get some real self esteem! she always needs a new man to feel validated....she's so insecure


Comment #12 by: anonymousfree on 16 Jul 2011, 00:39 UTC reply to this comment

I don't have any respect for either one of them. They both contributed to the fracture of a marriage Marc was already in, muchless the heartbreak for the children and wife he already had. May they both be miserable for a long time.


Comment #13 by: Minnie on 16 Jul 2011, 03:19 UTC reply to this comment

Marriage is work. Raising your children in a loving family is also the hardest job you will ever have but it is worth everything you go through. Did Ms Lopez really think Mark would stay with her? He had no problem leaving his other wife and children he sounds selfish its all about him he gets bored with his life and wants to move on. Being a PARENT means you are there everyday for every smile, every laugh, every cold, and drink of water in the middle of the night. I hope they step out of the Hollywood lifestyle and get back to family time they need to mend what has been done.

What goes around comes around. Dayanara must be smiling now.

Comment #14.1 by: chelo on 19 Jul 2011, 09:50 GMT

I agree with u, all these years I could never get over the way Mark left his wife and kids for this so call J.Lo. in god's eyes Dayanara will always be his wife, I don't care what the world says, I hope mark goes back with her. Stop calling J.Lo a Diva, she needs to settle down and take care of her family, come on 40+ years old, stay home and hug your kids, they need you more than anything, give your kids all your love, J.Lo stop wasting time on t.v. and read,sing,play with your kids, because some day they'll be grown and you are going to be sorry, go to church with them, enjoy life but not the way you do, I know you like fame and all, who doesn't, I crave that too, but when it comes to family, nothing else matters.

jlo is verey smart she knows what is best for her and her babys. i wish her the best of luck. good luck jlo. you are a verey good hearted person. god bless. your fan sylvia

Marc Anthony is jealous of his wife. Now Jennifer is coming back into the spot light, and he aint liking it one bit!


Comment #17 by: Dancer on 16 Jul 2011, 12:48 UTC reply to this comment

Who cares, about Jennifer Lopez, Marc Anthony has real fans.


Comment #18 by: color on 16 Jul 2011, 15:26 UTC reply to this comment

How it's possible to leave a classy beautiful woman as Dayanara Torres for cheap something as J.LO?!!
This guy is rediculous.


Comment #19 by: Jess K on 16 Jul 2011, 16:29 UTC reply to this comment

The decision to divorce was put on the table by J.Lo. She is doing well in leaving that macho man of Marc who just happened to jump to Jenni's fame. A strong and independent woman who doesn't need a man to take care of her children. Bravo Lopez!!

Comment #19.1 by: chelo on 19 Jul 2011, 09:44 GMT

I'm sorry, but I disagree with you, she is the one wrecking marriages, with her little pretty face acting all "cute" she needs counseling, or else all that money in the world won't bring her and her family any happiness, life is a chain, she needs to watch it, people have no respect for her.


Comment #20 by: Latinamom on 16 Jul 2011, 23:07 UTC reply to this comment

I think is not marc anthony at all I think is all J.lo we all know she's been around the block and now that she has a taste of fame AGAIN she's on a roll of her hot panties. Marc looks he's more private and I'm pretty sure as a latino man he is not gonna put up with her working constantly on american idol all the time when she's the one who's not attending her kids. No man is gonna wanna be a Mr. Mom she's crazy to even now do her music also when is she gonna have time to take care of her kids??? She's the money hungry cause if her husband has money issues she is his wife and as a woman she needs to pay up with all her millions that she has, like she said in her song "Love don't cost a thing" so when you marry you become one and it seems that J.Lo has not learned that yet or ever will because she doesn't knows what love is anyways the new album goes very well with her the question mark? Love? cause she still imature for her age. Poor Kids! my heart goes to thoses Kids who has nothing to do with her stupid mistakes in life now she has the freedom to go do her "Diva" lifestyle.


Comment #21 by: Tee on 17 Jul 2011, 00:08 UTC reply to this comment

Maybe if they would have had twins the natural wY instead of ordering them from a doctor... Life would be more regular. When you start messing with the design, you screw the balance up.

Comment #21.1 by: Steph on 18 Jul 2011, 19:07 GMT

Looooooolololol sooo trueee!


Comment #22 by: NewYorker on 17 Jul 2011, 04:53 UTC reply to this comment

I can only imagine the child support Marc Anthony pays J lo was stupid this guy now had about five Kids with three different women. No wonder he owes money to the IRS. J Lo is loaded and I don't blame her for finally seeing the light and getting rid of this loser, that I never thought was comparable with her anyway she's too big of a star and too much women for him.


Comment #23 by: ana on 17 Jul 2011, 06:19 UTC reply to this comment

If Mark wasn't respect to Jlo between his tours. ...It's OKKKKKKAAAAAAYA. Good for Jlo. She is the most beautiful. Woman......and She don't need nobody with not respect. Up Jlo.


Comment #24 by: Free thought on 17 Jul 2011, 07:23 UTC reply to this comment

Who the hell cares if two grossly wealthy under-talented egos are divorcing? The world has more pressing issues than these two press hounds!


Comment #25 by: Silvetty on 17 Jul 2011, 12:36 UTC reply to this comment

Money problems? Are you kidding me? If this is one of the main reasons why they can't deal with their marriage then, yes, they don't deserve to stay married and have a family.


Comment #26 by: Laugh on 17 Jul 2011, 18:54 UTC reply to this comment

Well He dump Dianara(ex wife) for this Woman(jlo which had a relationship with her when he was married with Dianara) so He deserve to be alone!


Comment #27 by: Dixon Mixin on 18 Jul 2011, 14:58 UTC reply to this comment

A mousey looking little creep and an overdressed, over glorified woman who never lost that "street walker" voice. Neither did Beyonce, for that matter. Lopez and Creepy both did his ex-wife a favor. She is probably with a much nicer guy.


Comment #28 by: Dixon Mixin on 18 Jul 2011, 15:05 UTC reply to this comment

Maybe they should sell some of her ridiculous clothing. She looks ridiculous shaking that gigantic fanny when she does her awkward dancing. And he's still kinda creepy to me. Sorry.


Comment #29 by: Bubba on 18 Jul 2011, 19:30 UTC reply to this comment

I think she is in love with William levy

Comment #29.1 by: chelo on 19 Jul 2011, 09:41 GMT

I am with u, I really think it was only a matter of time, I knew it was coming and she would find an excuse to dump Mark, let's see what her excuse will be when we see her right next to William Levy, and if he dates her I will have absolutely no respect for him either, he needs to think about his family.


Comment #30 by: chelo on 19 Jul 2011, 09:37 UTC reply to this comment

karma is a *#@^!!! Jennifer stole mark from someone else, now she'll have to be on her own, or should I ask, who will be her fourth victim be?, whose marriage will she destroy now?, watch out ladies, watch your husbands here comes the j.lo again or should I say, loose.lo?


Comment #31 by: Ginger on 19 Jul 2011, 23:10 UTC reply to this comment

Unfortunaly, that marriage started bad (rush, unfaithful, lies) J.Lo is getting the same that she gave to Dayanara. Not a good start and a worst end.


Comment #32 by: Ms. America on 20 Jul 2011, 12:00 UTC reply to this comment

Jennifer Lopez "aka * * " is just that, married how many times now. The only reason she left Puffy was because she has used him to get where she was and no longer needed him. She loved Ben Affleck, but his mother was not having a women who had been married 3 times and slept with a black man marry her Ben. Then she decided to get the latinos and mexicans behind her by marrying Marc. Now she will divorce him and once again try to marry a white man - we shall see.....

Comment #32.1 by: Whiz on 20 Jul 2011, 20:50 GMT

I don't think anyone has a right to judge either Marc or JLo. Ugly or not. Everyone is entitled to whatever they think happiness is. "To each his own." Remember that? Besides, whose to say that it was all peaches and cream for Dayanara and Marc? Whose to say that its peaches and cream for JLo and Marc? Anyone is a relationship knows that problems come a dime a dozen...daily! In the end, its the kids that end up messed up.


Comment #33 by: mariposa on 22 Jul 2011, 02:29 UTC reply to this comment

Jennifer Lopez deserves him cheating on her when she was with Marc Anthony when he was married. What goes around, comes around!


Comment #34 by: Doris on 22 Jul 2011, 15:44 UTC reply to this comment

She has to move on. She should have never married him. They do have beautiful children.
I hope she meets someone nice, who is also smart and caring, and will make a good stepfather. My thoughts are with her.

Doris Garcia

I believe Marc and Jennifer need to evaluate their lives before they jump into a new relationship. I believe both of them should help a needy cause with their extra money instead of being giving money away to people for pleasure.
