News broke late last week that Marc Anthony had finally filed for divorce from Jennifer Lopez. There is a reason why he waited so long.

I was surprised to hear that Marc Anthony filed for divorce from Jennifer Lopez last week because they had been separated for so long, I thought the papers had already been filed. Nope.

Marc had been holding out for hope that he and Jennifer would reconcile and give their marriage one more try. He and Jennifer sat down and talked about their future last week and she made a confession. According to TMZ, J-Lo confessed that she is deeply in love with her young boyfriend Casper Smart and wants to pursue that relationship!

Marc was said to be blindsided by that news and that is when he got the divorce papers drawn up.

Something interesting I learned, when looking at the divorce papers that TMZ posted, Marc Anthony’s real last name is Muniz. Jennifer Lopez legal name is Jennifer Muniz. For now.
