It's war!
After what appeared to be a fairly civilized July split following seven years of marriage, things between Jennifer Lopez and Marc Anthony are getting seriously ugly, multiple insiders tell the new Us Weekly, out now.

The catalyst? Lopez's newfound love with Casper Smart, a 24-year-old backup dancer who's already getting along swimmingly with Max and Emme, Lopez's 3-year-old twins with Anthony, 43.
When the Latin crooner spotted photos of Lopez and Smart bonding with his son and daughter during a Thanksgiving vacation in Kauai, Hawaii, he "hit the roof," one source says. "It caused a huge blowup."

Anthony's next move: Although he and Lopez, 42, already hammered out custody arrangements for the twins -- ceding primary custody to the singer and American Idol judge -- a close source tells Us he may go "back on his word."

His ultimate motive, says the source? "He wants to make Jennifer suffer because she's having fun with someone new, and he knows this will hurt her on the deepest level."

But Lopez, says another pal, is "ready to smash him if he tries anything…It's getting vicious."

Tell Us What You Think
59I think you people should mind your own business and let them work it out. to begin with all this stuff you read about is mostly made up anyway. Sure there are pictures but, after both have thought about it they will get level headed and do whats best for their children. You need to step back and lket them with out fueling the publics fire. Do you actually think they care what you opinionated people think? This is why celebrities stay away from you people. Mark and Jennifer, Im sure you will do whats best for your kids. I dont think either one of you are so selfish that you would not put them first. Good Luck.
Marc has the right to want shared custody jen is selfish for trying not to share custody.People kee talking about marc but jennifer has had 3 marriages and an broken engagement plus even though her and marc weren't legally divorced yet she started dating bradley cooper and now casper.Jen is lucky Marc is nice and does not try to get full custody.
To the posters who are green with envyâ?¦. I hate it when you show your jealousy at either one of them. Why should he get the kids, and why is she ghetto? You guys wish you had what they have. They have both come a long way, and BLESS THEM FOR IT!!! But they are both acing stupid sometimes. Just because they are human.
What do the kids have to do with this? Why canâ??t he think with his head? I hate it when men do not think with their head. they had an agreement worked out. Now all his feeling about losing his wife, and her new boyfriends have nothing to do with the kids. GROW UP!!! And Jen, stop being a cougar, you are a Mom with little children, be a good example. See where it got Demi Moore, we all knew early on that her little toy boy will grow into girls closer to his age. That is much more natural, then the fantasy of being 85 with a 55 year old husband. PLEEEZEâ?¦.
This is just a bunch of lies! US magazine is hardly the source of accuracy, one more tabloid publishing false rumors about celebrities. In most divorces, joint custody is the norm and it has probably been the case between Marc and his ex. Much ado about nothing, they will figure out what is good for the family. But I have to agree with Marc when he worries about his children being exposed to that young dancer. Any responsible parent would do the same.
good luck ghetto lopez
Depending on where the divorce was filed..... IF she filed in California, he's out of luck. Child custody is automatic 50/50!! Even if people don't like it, JLo is free to have friends of her choosing. Anthony cannot take the kids away just because she has a b/f. At least in this state, in order for a parent to have more than 50% custody, there has to be extreme circumstances. He's just being a PIG! Wasn't HE the one who was cheating?? Typical double standard....if HE was the one flaunting his new love interest, nobody would say anything....
Marc Anthony always was and always will be a male chauvinist pig. Jennifer once said in a article in a magazine that he was " traditional". By that I guess she means major control freak. Correct me if I'm wrong but didn't she leave him the first time when they were dating for the same thing???? What made her think he changed. On his say so?? She is better off without him. He said the same thing to his first wife, Dianora Tores. That if she divorced him he would get custody of the kids. That's what they do, threaten and bluff and bluster, Why is it that men can go with younger chicks but the women can't get a younger man. What's good for the goose is good for the gander. Way to go cougar!!!
It doesn't surprise me given Jennifer's past that she would get herself a toy boy but maybe she should cool it wiht the publicity photos of the guy with her twins. After all, is this guy even going to be around in 2012? With her track record I was surprised that her marriage actually lasted 7 years. As for Marc actually getting custody of the kids, that is probably unlikely unless she really screws up. Just dating a younger man isn't grounds for a custody hearing.
He is being selfish.
I hope Marc takes the kids
they broke up...he was in control of her life and she id not like it...but she can not handle nice man... the bootom line her and Madonna have something in common...they love themselves too much...and they only have one talent...Madonna can dance and ghetto lopez can dance...Madonna has failed as director , actress and singing is okay...while ghetto can not sing or act...ghetto think of your children...and Bradley Cooper is too good for you...he needs a good woman...not a tramp like you ...money cannot give you class...andyour mom should be ashamed of herslef to support what your are dooing with your boy toy...if you want to have a fling go for it!...but not in fornt of your twins...it is not right
He sounds like a whiny brat who suddenly isn't in control of Jennifer anymore and he'll do anything to gain control over her back. He sounds like a woman who is trying to ruin her ex husband because he left her. Get over it... Revenge and jealousy isn't a pretty colour on anyone.
I agree with everything except with that smart guy being around her children... She has to be really serious about him to have him around her kids.. If it doesn't work and the kids get attached they will get the worst . Poor children . I know because my daughter was very attached to my ex and when we broke up she would not stop asking for him .
You Go Girl ! I think it`s Great that she finally Dumped that Loser ! I had to readv what Everybody said when she got pregnant, all the Crap about what her babies would look like and about how she could even get pregnant by such a pitiful looking man, and I was on her side all the way ! You can`t help who you fall in love with or out of love with ! That is your decision & Your Business ! Just know that there are people , those you know & those you don`t know Rooting for you & your Kids ! And I`m one of them. Good Luck, Sweetie !
He must of really pissed her off during their marriage! She wants to hurt and humiliate him! Good for her! He lost control over her and he hates it!
I THINK THEY SHOULD GO THERE SEPIRATE WAYS & LEAVE EACH OTHER ALONE. HE WOULDN'T KNOW HOW TO TAKE CARE OF TWINS ANYWAY! mOTHERS ALWAYS DO BETTER. & ABOUT HAVING A BOYFRIEND YOUNGER THEN HER?? MORE POWER TO U JEN, JUST TAKE CARE OF YOUR CHILDREN FIRST.

Marc Anthony has ALWAYS been a total CREEP!!
i think its disgusting that she is with a 24 year old and so soon after the split she cant be alone without a man she is bringing him around her children already i feel sorry for the kids how many of her men are they gonna be exposed to because it aint gonna last with a who 24 yo is in to having fun and sex only and using her for her money she is paying for companionship take some time to be alone with you and your kids and find a man not a boy
