Mark Anthony has broken his silence about his ex-wife, Jennifer Lopez, and the drama surrounding her relationships, particularly her marriage to Ben Affleck.

Mark reportedly expressed frustration over how their kids are often dragged into Lopez’s messy love life, suggesting that she prioritizes her public image over their well-being.

Rumors indicate that Lopez’s preoccupation with maintaining her “diva status” has left Mark to pick up the pieces and ensure the safety and stability of their children.

Mark isn’t alone in his feelings. It’s also said that Jennifer Garner, Affleck’s ex-wife, feels hurt and betrayed by Lopez’s apparent abandonment of the children she once promised to be involved with.

As Lopez seems to be heading toward another divorce, concern grows that the emotional toll on her children is becoming too great to ignore.

Lopez and Anthony’s relationship, once one of Hollywood’s hottest couples, has now soured. The two first met in 1998 during Paul Simon’s Broadway show *The Capeman*. While sparks flew between them, both went on to marry other people.

Mark married former Miss Universe Dayanara Torres, while Lopez married dancer Chris Judd, both of which ended in divorce. Lopez also famously dated Ben Affleck before rekindling her romance with Anthony in 2004.

Their whirlwind romance led to a secret wedding in 2004, and the couple worked hard to keep their relationship private. Lopez and Anthony’s careers merged when they collaborated on various projects, including the film *El Cantante* and a joint tour.

In 2008, the couple welcomed twins, Emme and Max, which was followed by a renewal of their wedding vows. At the time, their relationship appeared rock solid.

Despite this public appearance, behind the scenes, their relationship faced challenges, leading to their separation in 2011.

While the couple initially described their split as amicable, rumors soon surfaced of infidelity on Anthony’s part, particularly with Jada Pinkett Smith. Though Anthony denied these rumors, the split became more contentious.

In her memoir *True Love*, Lopez described the breakdown of her marriage, claiming that Anthony had told her he was no longer happy.

This revelation devastated Lopez, who believed their marriage was meant to last. Despite the public front they maintained, Lopez admitted that she sought therapy to cope with the heartbreak.

Lopez’s portrayal as the heartbroken spouse has, in recent years, begun to shift as she’s faced criticism for her alleged narcissism and focus on her public image.

Her career has had its highs and lows, but recent projects, including a documentary and album, have faced backlash for failing to connect with audiences.

Critics point out that Lopez’s attempts to portray herself as relatable have fallen flat, with some describing her as condescending and out of touch.

Adding fuel to the fire, Lopez’s relationship with Affleck has also drawn scrutiny. On Father’s Day 2023, she posted an appreciation post for Affleck, praising him as a great dad to her children, while seemingly ignoring Anthony, their biological father.

This pattern of behavior has sparked criticism that Lopez uses her children to boost her public image, further straining her relationships with both Anthony and Affleck.

As Lopez navigates yet another potential divorce, the impact on her children remains a growing concern.

Anthony, weary of the constant drama, is reportedly focused on protecting their kids, while Lopez’s reputation continues to face scrutiny from both her fans and those closest to her.
