Marc Anthony and Shannon de Lima have called it quits.
The couple were together for more than a year.
"Marc is no longer dating model Shannon de Lima," his rep Blanca Lasalle confirms. "The amicable breakup became official right in mid-January."
Shannon De Lima and Marc Anthony went public with the romance last January on Twitter; then, he called his model girlfriend "my statue of liberty."
Despite a new promo implying otherwise, The X Factor Season 2 won't be ALL about Britney Spears.
There are three other judges, of course, Demi Lovato, Simon Cowell and L.A. Reid; along with Justin Bieber as a recently-announced mentor. And now TMZ confirms that Marc Anthony has signed on in the same capacity.
Look for J. Lo's ex to assist the hopefuls assigned to Cowell on the upcoming season of this Fox competition, which kicks off September 12.
Sources also say Nick Jonas will come on board as the mentor for Lovato's group, meaning we are one mentor and two hosts short of filling out the Season 2 roster.
With just over a week until The X Factor returns, some key decisions will need to be made in the very near future.
You might wanna avert your eyes, Casper Smart.
Jennifer Lopez and Marc Anthony took the stage Saturday night at the Mandalay Resort and Casino in Las Vegas because they brought their American Idol-like reality competition, Q'Viva!, to Sin City.
A program that seeks to find the very best Latin American talent, Q'Viva! will feature a number of its top contestants throughout its run in Vegas, with J. Lo and her ex helping tickets sales by performing separate acts during the show's opening week.
Up until last week, Marc Anthony hoped to reconciliation with his estranged wife Jennifer Lopez, only to learn she was madly in love with new BF Casper Smart.
Marc filed for divorce Monday, nine months after the couple separated.
Sources indicate that Anthony didn't make the decision on his own, really. He wanted J. Lo back and had a heart-to-heart with her about giving it another shot.
Anthony reportedly make his intentions clear and asked to give the marriage another try, but Jennifer confessed tht she was "deeply in love" with Casper.
She said she wanted to pursue that relationship, and that was that.
Marc was blindsided, according to insiders, because while she and Casper Smart have been an item for some time, he had no idea things were so serious.
He was hurt, and has now filed for divorce, officially.
You gotta feel for the guy ... but on the flip side, they did split up for a reason, and by all accounts mutually. He's also been seeing Shannon De Lima.
Almost nine months after their separation, Marc Anthony has filed for divorce from Jennifer Lopez in Los Angeles Superior Court earlier this week.
The catch-all "irreconcilable differences" box was checked.
Anthony's filing seeks joint legal and physical custody of the couple's twins, Emme and Max, 4, and that the judge dismiss any spousal support for Lopez.
Should she ask for it, that is, which is doubtful. This is likely a formality to make legal a split that has for all intents and purposes been settled already.
The duo married in 2004 and announced their breakup in July, but seem to have kept things amicable, at least when it comes to their reality show, Q'Viva!
Both have had relatively little to say about it publicly, but Anthony spoke out about the split afterward, and according to him, "It wasn't shocking."
It wasn't long before they moved on, either.

It could all be an act... but, then again, neither Jennifer Lopez nor Marc Anthony are very good actors.
The former couple, presumed to be fighting ever since their divorce, appeared on Ellen yesterday in promotion of their reality competition ¡Q’Viva! The Chosen - and they seemed to get along swimmingly, laughing and joking and talking about their kids.
"Emme loves to dance," Lopez said of one twin. "She loves to perform. I’ll be honest. I think Emme has a bit of voice. I do. I’m not sure but I kind of hear it every once in a while. I’m not sure about Max as much, but he has a big personality. He’s got like, my personality. Maybe Emme has Marc’s voice. We traded."
Watch the supposed enemies act like total BFFs in the following clip:
Jennifer Lopez and Marc Anthony are back together. On the small screen, at least.
The former couple premiered Q'Viva: The Chosen last night, a talent search competition on Univision that finds this pair (along with concert director Jaime King) traveling around Latin America in search of the most impressive acts to eventually showcase in a Las Vegas showcase.
"We're just meant to be in each other's lives on different levels," Anthony says of working with his ex-wife. "This is a long story, it's not a short story.... Marriage was just one chapter... And kids are another. We've got each other for life."
This is a much calmer tone than the one Anthony has reportedly struck in the past, as reports have said he's angry J. Lo has moved on with Casper Smart and that he wants to make her suffer.
At one point on the premiere, while in Puerto Rico, Loepez and Anthony joked about being akin to "Sonny and Cher after the divorce," with Jennifer saying she has "bad memories" of filming a movie together and Anthony responding:
"We've always been like this even when we were together. Busting each other's chops."
Some did surprise us more than others, but we can honestly say we didn't see any of these divorce filings - all from the last 12 months alone! - coming at all.
Which of these splits shocked you the most? Vote in our poll below ...
10. Zooey Deschanel and Ben Gibbard. The New Girl star and the Death Cab For Cutie member certainly seemed like a perfect match. Apparently not.
9. Kim Kardashian and Kris Humphries. Okay, not all that surprising for myriad reasons we have been over ad nauseam on THG. But 72 days?! Idiots.
8. Tareq and Michaele Salahi. Like Kim and Kris, nothing about these two truly shocks us. Except her running off with Journey guitarist Neal Schon.
7. Leah Messer and Corey Simms. The stars of Teen Mom 2 seem so happy ... on the episodes that are still airing now! Well, not last night's. Still!
6. Ashton Kutcher and Demi Moore. Seemed an odd fit at the start, but their split came totally out of left field. Now she's taking nitrous hits. Nitrous.
5. Jennifer Lopez and Marc Anthony. Apparently not the marrying type.
4. Ashlee Simpson and Pete Wentz. Remember them? We forgot too.
3. Katy Perry and Russell Brand. They're polar opposites, but were so crazy about each other and we thought it was just crazy enough to last forever.
2. Arnold Schwarzenegger and Maria Shriver. The heiress to the Kennedy political dynasty and the Governator seemed as rock solid as they come.
1. Heidi Klum and Seal. Still fresh, but as stunning as any other celeb divorce we can remember based on the couple's perpetual displays of love.
Which celebrity divorce filing shocked you most?
It really doesn't take beautiful famous people long to move on.
With Jennifer Lopez getting hot and heavy with Casper Smart, we can now confirm that Marc Anthony has also found himself a new love interest: Venezuelan model Shannon De Lima.
How can we be so certain? Because Anthony isn't doing anything to hide the relationship, posting a Tweet to De Lima today that translates to: "To Shannon, my status of liberty. Kisses baby!"
Anthony's son, Chase, meanwhile, did his dad one better. The young one Tweeted: "To all my followers and all Twitter peeps, follow the best couple of 2012 and for many for years Marc Anthony and Shannon De Lima!"
There you have it.
Take this, Jennifer Lopez!
In light of his ex moving on with 24-year old backup dancer Casper Smart, Marc Anthony has reportedly also found a young, attractive new dating partner.
Sources tell Life & Style that the singer "is dating" Mexican supermodel Adriana Ontiveros, as he was seen with her at the December 11 Miami Dolphins game.
"They exited the stadium via a private entrance and stepped out of the elevator together," a witness says. "They were holding hands, and he seemed very comfortable with her. He wasn't flaunting it."
Ontiveros appeared in a recent music video for crooner Alejandro Fernandez, who introduced the new couple. She might want to watch out for new beau's temper, though. Insiders say he has been flipping out over Lopez and Smart's relationship.
