After 7 years of marriage Jennifer Lopez and Marc Anthony have decided to call it quits .  The pair released a joint statement to People magazine, yesterday, stating, " We have decided to end our marriage, this was a very difficult decision. We have come to an amicable conclusion on all matters. " They then went on to say,        " It is a painful time for all involved and we appreciate the respect of our privacy at this time ".  Despite  years of reports that their marriage was on the rocks ; the announcement  still sent shock waves throughout Hollywood , as the couple seemed content with each other   a near 4 months ago, on the American Idol set . The couple even performed a sexy duet on the American Idol finale; smashing speculation that a divorce in their near future.

 Now that  the couple have officially split, rumors are  swirling as to the cause of the divorce. Perhaps J-LO raking in more dough and achieving more notoriety than her husband was a feasible cause. After all, reports have said that Marc was hesitant in allowing J-LO to take on the American Idol gig . Or maybe their marriage went into the dumps, due to the classic case of  infidelity or verbal abuse, as   both have been known to have hot tempers towards each other .   Whatever the source , my heart goes out to the children as they endure this difficult time. 

Jennifer and Marc  married in 2004 and have 2 children together,  3 year old twins Max and Emme.
