Ending their seven-year marriage was a decision that came "after months of non-stop arguing," a source close to Jennifer Lopez and Marc Anthony revealed to People. The bickering was sparked by issues on a movie set, jealousy on the "American Idol" stage, and Lopez's suspicion of Marc's infidelity.
An insider close to Anthony says the cheating accusations are not true, and believes the 42-year-old singer always supported his wife's career. "They started to see things differently," the source said, adding, "Though they love, admire and respect each other very much, they just needed to be apart."
When the couple announced their separation on Friday, they also revealed they had "come to an amicable conclusion on all matters," prompting many to believe their decision was reached some time ago.
Meanwhile, J.Lo has escaped the media madness surrounding her breakup and is currently in the Ukraine, where she will perform at a billionaire's wedding for a million-dollar paycheck.
