Jennifer Lopez and Marc Anthony are divorcing

The couple, married since 2004, released a statement to People Magazine about their split.

“We have decided to end our marriage. This was a very difficult decision. We have come to an amicable conclusion on all matters. It is a painful time for all involved and we appreciate the respect of our privacy at this time.”

Parents to three-year old twins, Max and Emme, the couple dated first in 1999; following their breakup, Lopez dated and married Chris Judd in 2001, with the marriage lasting only nine months. Then Lopez dated Sean Combs, aka Diddy, and then Ben Affleck. In the meantime, Anthony married former Miss Universe Dayanara Torres before they split, as well.

Lopez and Anthony began dating again in 2004 and were married soon after. Back in February, Lopez said Anthony wanted more kids together.
