The Anthony-Lopez Show

Says Anthony of the hidden tattoo: "I like to think it means 'Jennifer Loves Marc.' "

But love has its limits: Lopez won't reciprocate in kind. "It's not that I don't love you," she tells her husband. "I do love you. I just don't want to get a tattoo."

Bennifer, Done That

Anthony and Lopez have been married significantly longer than the combined length of her first two marriages. But you already knew that -- even if you didn't want to know. The news, such as it was, was inescapable.

Quick refresher: Husband No. 1, from February 1997 to January 1998, was Ojani Noa, a model whom Lopez met while he was working at a Miami restaurant. Following a high-drama relationship with hip-hop mogul Sean Combs, Lopez married one of her former backup dancers, Cris Judd, in September 2001. By the following June, they'd separated; Lopez filed for divorce a month later.

There was also the almost-marriage to actor Ben Affleck, but Lopez pulled the plug just before their scheduled September 2003 wedding, while the tabs worked themselves into a lather covering "Bennifer's" breakup.

Lopez had appeared in one of Anthony's music videos and the not-yet-a-couple had recorded a duet, "No Me Ames" ("You Don't Love Me"), from Lopez's 1999 debut album, "On the 6." But it wasn't until June 2004 that they officially became They-Lo, marrying at Lopez's home in Beverly Hills.

The surprise wedding came just four days after Anthony's divorce from former Miss Universe Dayanara Torres was finalized. He'd married Torres in May 2000, and they had a child, separated, reconciled, renewed their vows in 2002, had another child, separated again in 2003 and finally put an official end to their relationship in 2004.

Total tablo-gossip gorge fest.

It has subsided: Lopez no longer peers from the cover of every supermarket weekly ("consciously not," she notes). But there is still the occasional blip. Just this month, In Touch Weekly reported that Lopez is pregnant and due in the spring. The couple quickly knocked down the rumor through a publicist, though gossips continue to speculate.

Even so, Lopez is a ubiquitous drama magnet no more.

Neat trick. Explain, please.

"Luckily, Marc knew how to live in a way where you could have success and credibility and still have a normal life and not be on the cover of every tabloid for 2 1/2 straight years," she says. "At the end of the day, people want good music and they want to see a good movie. That's what keeps you in this business. The other stuff burns you out."
