Affair in the air?

Jennifer Lopez and Marc Anthony announced their surprising split last Friday, but the duo came close to parting ways two years ago because of Anthony's fling with a flight attendant.

In the new Us Weekly, out now, a source says that Anthony, 42, hooked up with a flight attendant he met aboard a private plane in 2009.

"Marc and Jennifer almost split up over it," the source tells Us of the couple, parents to 3-year-old twins Emme and Max.

Seconds another insider: "Jennifer was going to leave him then, but Marc begged her to stay. They went to marriage counseling and she decided to give it another shot. He was someone she truly loved."

Although Anthony and the American Idol judge, 41, weathered the storm of infidelity, his raging jealousy over Lopez's successful career continued to drive a wedge between them. Anthony's controlling behavior over his wife's wardrobe and business endeavors -- and his own unfounded paranoia about her and other men-- also factored in to their major decision to end their seven year marriage.

    I dont know why people keep talking so much crap about Jlo's and Marc Anthony's split. The only ones that know what really happened is them. I personally think they make an amazing couple its a shame they split up but everything has to come to an end sometime. I still LOVE!!! Marc Anthony despite of all the rumors they have said about him. He is an amazing person and a great singer!

    When people cheat, that's when they become obsessive about the other person cheating. It's self-inflicted.

    Cant blame her for wrecking a marriage.. he chose to break his vows to his ex, he chose to leave a family for a pop star - not her! it was gonna happen whether it was her or some other woman he was gonna cheat with ...

    I'd rather be alone with cats and watching Laverne & Shirley reruns than with a man who cheats. Kick them all to the curb, that's where they belong - the gutter.

  • July 26, 2011 - 12:08am Cheryl Levine

    Thank you Bangst Ruin.Thought I was the only one who thought Anthony always looked like he was a sweaty weasel. Take a bath dude and do get over yourself. Hey J. Lo, what's good for the goose is good for the gander.

  • July 24, 2011 - 4:26pm Tracie Murrell

    Man! Some of these people need English lessons. Some of you can't compose a simple sentence. Go back to school!!! Jennifer, please stay single for a while...

  • July 24, 2011 - 2:25pm Bangst Ruin

    What the hell does she see in this constantly sweaty, obviously coke addicted and now ADULTERING weasel anyway? U cheat on THAT w/ a stewardess?!! WHAT A WASTE

  • July 23, 2011 - 9:29am Valerie Lombardo

    what? it's never ok to cheat, married or not. and i love marc anthony's voice but that's about it. history repeating itself- his first wife was beautiful and they had young children when they split.. to be with j. lo. ? i don't know if that was the reason. BUT the first wife got screwed too.

  • July 22, 2011 - 11:55pm Ardee Johnson

    are you kidding me who didn't see this coming...he is a control freak...it is sad when you can see this on TV. Damn you go girl! You take those babies and he the hell away from him....he is, will be trouble....Sorry Marc, but once a player always a player....maybe you should stop having babies too before you can't afford them

  • July 22, 2011 - 2:19pm Claribel Soto

    it's ok to cheat when single but married, that's different!!

  • July 22, 2011 - 10:12am Rupali D'cruze

    Jennifer, Got what she diserved!

  • July 21, 2011 - 10:27pm Gayle Wood

    Oh Puleeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeez! He is the cheat!!!!!!!!!!!!! He has cheated on both his wives-he didnt realize how good he had it with Jennifer!!!!!!!!!

  • July 21, 2011 - 10:05pm Kyiia Clark

    They are both cheaters. Look at how she got him. He was still married. And every "new" relationship she gets involved in, she still is in an "old" relationship. Why get married, if you both want to cheat on one another.

  • July 21, 2011 - 7:25pm Cheryl Levine

    If this story is true about M.A. cheating is true, while it is sad, it is one all too many people can relate to, like say, Chris Judd for example.
