Jennifer Lopez and Marc Anthony to divorce

Perhaps this is why J.Lo went alone to meet the royals at the “Brits to Watch” event last weekend.

“We have decided to end our marriage, ” they said Friday in a joint statement first reported by People. “This was a very difficult decision. We have come to amicable conclusion on all matters.”

This is the second marriage for Anthony

The third for Lopez, who before longtime friend Anthony also was engaged to Ben Affleck; “Bennifer” broke up in 2003.

She also dated Sean “P. Diddy” Combs for a couple of years.

Anthony and Lopez were married days after his divorce was finalized.
