Pop icon Jennifer Lopez dated MLB legend Alex Rodriguez for four years, and during that time, they were one of the favorite couples, both in the entertainment industry and the sports realm. A-Rod understood every part of JLo’s job, even if it meant her doing intimate scenes on the set. But it was a little different for Lopez’s ex-husband Marc Anthony, with whom the actress shares her twins, Max and Emme. 

JLo was married to Anthony from 2004 to 2014. And even though Anthony always supported Lopez in every moment of her career, the ex-celeb couple could not stand the test of time, as they broke up. Recently, the Shotgun Wedding actress opened up to the Animated Times and talked about why she banned her ex-husband from the sets of The Back-Up Plan. And the reason that Jennifer gave showed how much she cared for him when they were together. 

What did Jennifer Lopez say about banning Marc Anthony?

During the 2000s, the actress was at the peak of her career and was considered one of the elites in the entertainment industry. In many of her movies, the actress was required to be intimate with the main lead of the movie, which included The Back-Up Plan. 

But the actress didn’t want her then-husband to sit through it and feel awkward. Hence, she banned him from the sets of her movies. Marca magazine recently reported that while talking about the reason behind it, Jennifer said, “I didn’t want to torture the poor guy. He shouldn’t be watching when I’m seducing another man on a kitchen table”.

A year into her marriage with Marc, the then-married couple went to see a Yankees game. There, the two of them met the 14x All-Star athlete for the first time. Although it wasn’t the first time for the former athlete, as A-Rod had already met JLo in the late 1990s as her fan.

And years after Jennifer broke up with Anthony, fate brought her and Alex together. But only for a short period. And now, two years after their breakup announcement, things have changed quite a lot for both of them.
