What really happened between Jennifer Lopez and Marc Anthony? After 7 years and two kids, the marriage has ended. Was it Anthony’s controlling ways? Was he cheating? Did he have a problem with J-Lo’s clothes? Her way of dressing, was it too sexy? Was he upset when she wouldn’t stay at home and have more kids? Lopez is returning to American Idol as a judge, and sources say that was the final straw in the breakup of this marriage. The two seemed to be in love.
