Jennifer Lopez: Marc Anthony Will Always 'Be In My Life'

Jennifer Lopez sure keeps busy. The 42-year-old mother of two swung by the "Today Show" Monday morning to promote her new projects -- "Q'Viva! The Chosen" and "American Idol" -- but also to offer some real insight into her seven-year marriage with Marc Anthony, from whom she split in July 2011.

Anthony serves as a producer on the Univision reality talent show, in which the ex-couple and concert director Jamie King scout Latin America for talented industry performers. The show premiered on January 28th.

"Marc and I were friends before we got married. We were friends for years. And we always loved each other, and we always worked together... Obviously, we have children together so it's not like he's not going to be in my life, he's always going to be in my life," Lopez told Matt Lauer.

And despite the heavy PDA show with 24-year-old backup dancer Casper Smart, Lopez said she wasn't certain whether another marriage was in her future.

"I don't know. We'll see... It's not time to think about that, do you know what I mean? It's still fresh."

Is the divorce final?
Aren't they still actually married?

Yes. Once you have children with someone you pretty much will be connected for the rest of each other's lives. That's just the way it is.
