    It's officially the end of the couple's seven-year marriage

    Marc Anthony has filed for divorce from Jennifer Lopez.

    They may have announced the end of their seven-year marriage in July, but Marc Anthony has finally served Jennifer Lopez with divorce papers.

    The Latino star filed papers at LA County Superior Court on April 9 citing 'irreconcilable differences', TMZ reports.

    He is asking for joint legal and physical custody of the couple's four-year-old twins, Emme and Max, and has also requested that the judge dismiss any potential claim for spouse support from Lopez.
