It seems that Hollywood is filled with love these days: aside from Benedict Cumberbatch, another bachelor is off the shelves as Marc Anthony has also become engaged (again) to model girlfriend, Shannon De Lima.
The couple, who had been dating on and off since 2012, are planning to tie the knot mid-November in the Dominican Republic, a source for Us Weekly said.
This is not the first time that Marc Anthony said "I do." In fact, he was married twice before, and was previously married to singer Jennifer Lopez, who he married in 2004, and split with in 2011. However, the pair did not finalize their divorce until just this June, at which point, according to the New York Daily, Anthony was already engaged to De Lima.
Before Lopez, he was married to Miss Universe Dayanara Torres for three years, but neither she nor JLo said anything about their ex-husband's upcoming wedding.
The Daily Mail said that Anthony and De Lima have been engaged since March, which means that they can totally keep their secrets. Rumors of their engagement sparked in March when De Lima was seen with a huge diamond ring on her finger, but they haven't confirmed the news until very recently, and only a couple of weeks away from their big day.
The couple will be parents to an already large brood. Anthony has a child with ex-Girlfriend Debbie Rosado, the 20-year-old Ariana; 13-year-old Cristian and 11-year-old Ryan with Dayanara; and shared 6-year-old twins Max and Emme with Lopez. De Lima, on the other hand, also has a 7-year-old son.
But with their nuptials coming, are Anthony's exes invited for the ceremony? There is no word yet on whether or not JLo is going, but they seem to be on good terms, so she might. But while Anthony is busy making wedding plans, JLo is also making headlines this week for her new career: authoring a book.
On her new book, True Love, Entertainment Tonight said that she spoke of past relationships, recalling her breakup with Ben Affleck and starting with Anthony, saying "It felt like my heart had been torn out of my chest. "People do lots of things to anesthetize themselves in moments like these. Some people do drugs, some drink and some go out and party."
She went on, "I sought out comfort in another person, tried to find someone who could make me feel loved and wanted in my loneliest hours. And that was the moment when Marc reappeared in my life."
JLo seems a bit nostalgic about her relationship with the once again engaged star, but Torres was mum about it. Still, best wishes for Anthony and De Lima.
