In 2004, Jennifer Lopez and Marc Anthony got married in a hush-hush ceremony conducted at Lopez’s residence. Seven years afterward, Anthony and Lopez’s separation was made public through a joint statement. The sad news came a couple of months after Lopez had been named the world’s most beautiful woman, and was flying high as a newly appointed “American Idol” judge.
Lopez reflected on the moment she knew things between her and Anthony were irreparable in her memoir, “True Love.” The singer-cum-actor, who was at a desert photoshoot, wrote, “I couldn’t admit that this marriage was over. But in the end, the truth finds a way to surface, even if you don’t want it to. That day in the desert, with my brain going wild trying to deny reality, I had finally hit rock bottom.”
