“People are trying to peg it on things because it was so shocking,” Marc explained on ABC's Nightline about his split from J.Lo after seven years of marriage. “It was like, 'It must have been something.' … It wasn’t something sensationalistic.”
And it especially didn't have anything to do with an affair with Will Smith's wife, Jada!
"When something like that happens, it's laughable,” he said of the rumors.
