As Marc Anthony prepares for his first Las Vegas residency, he is not relying on his ex-wife Jennifer Lopez for guidance.
In an interview with The Hollywood Reporter published on Monday, February 9, Anthony, 57, was asked whether Lopez, 56, has given him any advice about “the grueling nature of Las Vegas residencies” since she has headlined shows in the Nevada hotspot “several times.”
“No. I don’t need advice from Jennifer as far as concerts are concerned,” Anthony responded. “I’ve seen her residency as well. No, she hasn’t.”
Lopez embarked on her first Las Vegas residency, All I Have, at Planet Hollywood Resort and Casino in January 2016. The residency concluded in September 2018 after 120 shows, grossing $101.9 million.

In December 2025, Lopez kicked off her second residency, Up All Night Live in Las Vegas, at the Colosseum at Caesars Palace. The venture is currently scheduled to wrap in March after 12 shows.
As for Anthony, he will debut his first Las Vegas residency, Vegas … My Way!, at Fontainebleau on Friday, February 13. There are 10 live performances planned between February and August.
“It’s a totally different proposition,” he teased to 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. I’m designing a show for this intimate room. I’m going to sing songs I’ve never been able to perform live in my life, for various reasons. When you have 114 No. 1s, you can only sing a certain amount. I’m looking forward to just that bucket list moment of giving those songs life on stage.”
He added: “It’s going to be a big party. I think I’ll talk a little more; I’ll probably tell a couple of stories. And since I’ll be here for a while, we’ll arrange for some special guests to pass through and duet with me.”
Anthony and Lopez were married from 2004 to 2014. Since their divorce, the pair have continued to co-parent their 17-year-old twins, Max and Emme.
Lopez previously told Kelly Ripa in March 2017 that she and Anthony “are like best friends” following their split.
Both of the artists have moved on too. Anthony has been married to Nadia Ferreira since January 2023. The couple, who are already parents of 2-year-old son Marco, announced in January that they are expecting their second baby together. (Anthony also shares son Chase, 35, and daughter Arianna, 31, with ex-girlfriend Debbie Rosado and sons Cristian, 25, and Ryan, 22, with ex-wife Dayanara Torres.)
As for Lopez, she tied the knot with Ben Affleck in July 2022, though the two divorced in January 2025.
