Anthony and Lopez had been friends for years, but it wasn't until 2004 when their relationship took a romantic turn.

Upon marrying Anthony, Lopez became stepmother to the singer's four children. In February 2008, their household got bigger when Lopez gave birth to twins Max and Emme. However, Lopez and Anthony's happy home life would come to an end in July 2011 when the couple divorced.

According to reports, Lopez is planning to move from Miami to Los Angeles to be closer to Affleck. Although, it's unclear if Lopez is moving in with Affleck, the "Hustlers" actress plans to make Los Angeles her new, permanent home.
