Jennifer Lopez and Marc Anthony to continue working on reality talent series together, report says

Despite the recent announcement that Jennifer Lopez and Marc Anthony have decided to end their marriage, the two will continue to work together on their upcoming reality talent competition series "Q'viva!: The Chosen."

Deadline.com reports that "American Idol" creator Simon Fuller's XIX Entertainment, which has partnered with the two stars to produce the series that will feature Lopez and Anthony searching for talent in 21 countries Latin America, is still slated to be filmed later this year.

"They're both committed to 'Q'viva!' and will work on it as planned," a spokesman for XIX Entertainment told the website. "The show goes on!"

Marc Anthony briefly touched on his recent split from Jennifer Lopez during a concert in Colombia on Saturday night.

According to a report by People magazine, the singer was heard joking about his break-up. "They're saying I'm single," the 42-year-old said on stage, according to the magazine. The singer was also spotted "playfully flirting" with women in the crowd.

The couple officially announced their separation after seven years of marriage on Friday.

"We have decided to end our marriage," the couple said in their joint statement to OnTheRedCarpet.com. "This was a very difficult decision. We have come to amicable conclusion on all matters. It is a painful time for all involved and we appreciate the respect of our privacy at this time."

They did not specify a reason for the split. The two married in June 2004 and their twin son and daughter, Max and Emme, were born in February 2008.

Both Lopez, 41, and Anthony, 42, are both actors and singers and released a duet, 'No Me Ames,' 1999. In 2011, Lopez appeared as a judge on 'American Idol's 10th season, while Anthony joined the TNT drama series 'HawthoRNe' as a regular cast member.

Lopez has been married twice before but has no other children other than her and Anthony's twins. She and Ojani Noa were married between 1997 and 1998. Lopez wed actor and dance choreographer Cris Judd in 2001. They divorced in 2003.

Lopez is Anthony's second wife. He was married to actress Dayanara Torres, between 2000 and 2004. They have two sons - Cristian, who was born in 2001, and Ryan, born in 2003. Anthony also has a daughter named Ariana, who was born in 1994, with ex-girlfriend Debbie Rosado.
