Jennifer, 41, married the 42-year-old Latin singer in a private ceremony in 2004.
They are the proud parents to 3-year-old twins Max and Emme.
Last month the couple was seen smiling on the red carpet at the Samsung Hope For Children Gala.
During the American Idol finale, Marc took the stage and performed his rendition of Héctor Lavoe’s “Aguanile,” and Jennifer surprised everyone, when she joined him on stage and did a sexy dance across the floor, wearing a white, fringe leotard and heels.
