Following a couple of appearances sans their wedding bands and reports of separate visits to Las Vegas to party away from home, rumors of an imminent divorce between diva Jennifer Lopez and singer Marc Anthony have soon taken over the entire blogosphere. Regardless of how well-informed the source at the root of all this was, People magazine now reveals divorce is completely out of the question.

However, that doesn’t mean that the couple is not having problems, but it’s nothing that they can’t handle, another insider tells the popular, and usually reliable magazine. Trouble, it seems, appeared once the two stars became too stressed and too tired because of the 10-month-old twins Max and Emme. It’s nothing that they will not work out, the magazine tells concerned fans, citing said insider.

“What's up with Marc Anthony and Jennifer Lopez? According to those who observed them on a holiday vacation to Puerto Rico, nothing.” People writes, explaining further on that, while the two have had a rougher patch, separation is not an issue. “They have been having problems, like in any marriage. They’ve been arguing.” one of the magazine’s sources openly admits.

The most likely source of the problems, according to yet another spy, is the twins. “The marriage is experiencing frustrations because of the added stress of the twins, but they will work things out. They love each other, and that will dictate what happens. I don’t think divorce is in the picture.” the other source, “familiar with the situation,” is quoted as saying.

A couple of days back, word first got out that Jennifer and Marc were planning to end their four-year marriage on a very amicable note, by singing a duet on Valentine’s Day. At the time, it was said that the overtly theatrical idea to announce their separation was entirely Jennifer’s doing, since she saw it as a “bitter-sweet” thing that would go hand in hand with how she also announced she was pregnant – during the last gig of her international tour.
