J. Lo’s Vanity Fair cover is finally out on newsstands and on VF’s website. And one of the many things it teaches us is exactly how Marc Anthony actually bagged a broad this bad. He says he’s always been in love with Jennifer. They first met when she took her father to see him on Broadway in The Capeman on Father’s Day, 1998. “I had never met her,” he says. “I’d heard she was a fan of mine, and she walked into my dressing room and I said the worst opening line ever. I don’t know what the hell came over me, but I said, ‘You’re my wife and you don’t even know it.’ And she said, ‘Excuse me?’ And I’m like, ‘I’m so sorry, I don’t know where the f*** that came from.’ ” In other words, The Secret and the Law of Attraction are REAL! Here’s what else Marc had to say to Vanity Fair just days before he and Jennifer announced their divorce. He says that he felt their relationship was destined, but I ask, what specifically has she brought to his life? “Beating the shit out of me all the time,” he laughs. “No, seriously, she’s taught me discipline.” Was he flaky? “No…. I was just a musician’s musician, you know what I mean? And now I get up at six in the morning, film Hawthorne, score the show, and I make my meetings.” Does he feel that Jennifer works too hard? “She could enjoy life a little more,” he admits. “I mean, there are only a certain amount of hours in every day.” But, he says, “we know each other, we know when we can’t tolerate each other, and we each have that sounding board [in each other]. She’s harsh with her criticism sometimes, but it’s just because she wants me to be the best I can be. I will always be there for her. It’s a very, very dynamic life. I’m taxing myself and pushing myself to the limit, work-wise. But I’ve been faced with the phone not ringing, and that’s not fun. I’d rather this.” She made him better and he couldn’t hang on to her. Pobrecito. Flip through for a couple of J. Lo’s quotes – which were revealing, without putting her scumbag ex on blast – and some behind the scenes footage from her VF photo shoot.
