Jennifer Lopez Opens Up About Ex-Husband Marc Anthony: ’There Is a Reason We’re Not Together’

Love has its reasons. Jennifer Lopez opened up about her relationship with ex-husband Marc Anthony on the Friday, March 3, episode of The View, telling the audience that she and Anthony are simply not meant to be. Watch what she said in the clip above!

“Marc and I are good how we are right now,” she said when the show’s hosts asked her whether a reconciliation was in the works. “There’s a reason we’re not together, but we’re great friends. And we’re parents together. We’re even working on a Spanish album together. [And] that has been even better for us. We met working, and that’s where we’re really magical, when we’re on stage together, and so we leave it there. That’s it.”
