Jennifer Lopez and Marc Anthony: Trouble after 2 years?

Jennifer Lopez and Marc Anthony have been raising eyebrows lately; first with Lopez’s mysterious dropping the movie version of Dallas, then through public denials of pregnancy rumors despite that fact that the couple claim to be “trying,” reports Star Magazine

Lopez’s rep denies marital problems, claiming that the two are “having fun” during promotions of film El Cantante, at the Toronto Film Festival. However, sources question if all their recent public turmoil has “created tension” in their marriage.

Earlier this month, Jennifer Lopez was been branded a jealous wife after allegedly sending a bodyguard over to break up a dance between her husband Marc Anthony and an old friend. Brazilian photographer Selma Fonseca was left speechless when she was reprimanded for dancing with Anthony at music producer Swizz Beatz's birthday party the night before the MTV Video Music Awards.
