Marc Anthony finally filed for divorce from Jennifer Lopez this week, over eight months after they made their separation public. A possible reason for this might have been that Anthony was hoping that the two might reconcile, but Lopez chose Casper Smart before giving Anthony the chance.

Sources for Earsucker say that Anthony and Lopez met a few weeks ago to discuss their separation, with Anthony leaving it up to Lopez to reconcile. However, she decided that the marriage should end, since she already started a serious relationship with dancer Casper Smart.
