As Marc Anthony gears up for his inaugural Las Vegas residency, he is charting his own path without looking to his former wife, Jennifer Lopez, for guidance.
In a recent interview with The Hollywood Reporter, Anthony, 57, revealed that despite Lopez’s extensive experience headlining in Vegas, he has not sought advice from her. Lopez, 56, kicked off her first residency, All I Have, at Planet Hollywood Resort and Casino in January 2016, grossing $101.9 million over 120 shows before concluding in September 2018.
Now, Lopez has embarked on her second Las Vegas residency, Up All Night Live in Las Vegas, which is set to wrap up in March after just a dozen performances. On the other hand, Anthony is gearing up for his very first Vegas residency, Vegas … My Way!, set to debut at Fontainebleau in a series of 10 live performances between February and August.
“It’s a totally different proposition,” Anthony shared with The Hollywood Reporter. “I have my stadium show and my arena show that I’ve been doing for years, but this Vegas residency affords itself for me to do things I’ve never done before.” He teased about designing a show for the intimate venue and performing songs he’s never had the chance to sing live before.
While Anthony and Lopez were once married from 2004 to 2014, they have since continued to co-parent their twin teenagers, Max and Emme. Lopez has moved on and tied the knot with Ben Affleck in July 2022, though their marriage concluded in January 2025. Anthony, on the other hand, has been happily married to Nadia Ferreira since January 2023, with the couple recently announcing they are expecting their second child together.
As Anthony and Lopez navigate their respective Las Vegas residencies, they showcase a clear sense of independence and artistic exploration in their endeavors. Despite their shared past, both artists continue to carve out unique paths in the world of entertainment, each bringing their own style and energy to the stage.
