Marc Anthony & Wife Shannon De Lima Split
Singer Marc Anthony and model Shannon De Lima have separated after two years of marriage, E! News reports.
The surprise news broke just a day after Anthony and ex-wife Jennifer Lopez kissed for the cameras at the Latin Grammy Awards. Anthony attended the ceremony without De Lima and was not wearing his wedding ring.
Earlier today, Marc made no mention of the split, instead poking fun at his kiss with Lopez. He posted multiple photos of himself kissing close loved ones.

Amid the split news, Jennifer's manager Benny Medina is also shutting down reports of a reconciliation with Marc. He told TMZ that Jennifer and Marc are "absolutely, categorically, 100% not back together."
Four days before the separation was made public, Shannon posted a solo shot of herself on Instagram, captioning it with two emojis.

Shannon was reportedly not too happy with Lopez's single status after her breakup with Casper Smart. A source told OK! magazine, “Shannon understands that Jen will always be in Marc's life because of their kids, but she felt more secure with their bond when Jen was dating someone.”
Shannon and Marc were last spotted together three months ago at his concert in Madison Square Garden. He performed a duet with Lopez that same night.
Though Anthony and De Lima have been together since 2012, they have an on-again, off-again relationship. Back in 2013, they broke up after dating for a year. At the time, Marc's rep shared, "The amicable breakup became official right in mid-January.”
A year later, the pair married in a private ceremony in the Dominican Republic, months after their secret engagement.
