Marc Anthony Divorce: Talks Jennifer Lopez Split On 'GMA,' 'Nightline'

In an interview airing Thursday on "Good Morning America" and "Nightline," Marc Anthony opened up to ABC news correspondant John Quinones about his separation from Jennifer Lopez after seven years of marriage.

"I'll always love Jennifer," Anthony said.

The former couple and parents to three-year old twins Max and Emme issued a statement last month about their split.

"We have decided to end our marriage. This was a very difficult decision. We have come to an amicable conclusion on all matters. It is a painful time for all involved and we appreciate the respect of our privacy at this time," they said.

Lopez gave her first post-split interview to Vanity Fair, revealing that she still "believes in love."

"Sometimes we don't realize that we are compromising ourselves," she added. "To understand that a person is not good for you, or that that person is not treating you in the right way, or that he is not doing the right thing for himself – if I stay, then I am not doing the right thing for me. I love myself enough to walk away from that now."

Why do these people even bother to get married. It would be alot cheaper to just shack up.

That was a little too much woman for Marc.

I have a great respect for both Jen And Marc. It would be nice to see more people who are talking trash about an celebrity would stand up to our government and demand we have jobs brought back here, demand, that the homeless and hungry will not be so. But The rich gets richer and now the middle class becomes poor and the poor... Well Big GOV will preform genocides on anyone one below the poverty line.

“Even though we’re not together, this story’s not over. There’s life to see together through Max and Emme,” he insisted. http://bit.ly/qahH79

All her other men also will always love her. Once you fall for a drag queen you never forget them.

There was NO room in their marriage for the size of their EGOS.  Or maybe Marc just couldn't stand one more of Jennifer's lame attempts to "sing"!

Was their five years up? These Hollywood marriages are usually over and done with on an average of five years, give or take. Otherwise, why bother to marry? Don't tell me. "It was love (lust)".

This guy must be built like a horse. I can't see anything else he could possibly have going for him.

There is a lot of "me, me, me, me" coming out of Marc Anthony's mouth and I think the same will be true for Jennifer. No marriage ever works with a "me, me, me" attitude.
