Marc Anthony refused to shoot his Latin reality TV show with soon-to-be ex-wife Jennifer Lopez because of her new relationship with 24-year-old backup dancer Casper Smart, Star magazine is reporting via RadarOnline.com.
The 43-year-old I Need To Know singer refused to go to Peru and Chile to host and executive produce the latest auditions on his show 'Q'Viva: The Chosen' after a monumental blow-up with Lopez, 42, last week.

A source told Star: "Marc and J.Lo had a tense conference call when she was in Morocco. Inevitably, their discussion boiled down to her new boyfriend (Smart) and Marc made the decision not to work with Jennifer last week as a result."

Anthony waited until Lopez's private jet had taken off from Mohammed V International Airport in Casablanca -- headed to Peru -- to call Idol creator Simon Fuller to tell him that he was considering quitting for good, Star is reporting in its new issue, on newsstands now.
Fuller's XIX Entertainment is the force behind the Q'Viva which will scour Latin America for untapped talent -- singers, dancers, musicians, and performers.
Lopez was photographed in Lima, Peru, and Santiago, Chile, in the past week - filming the show without Anthony.

When he spoke to Fuller, Anthony said the reason he was not traveling to the two countries was "quite simply, J.Lo. I can't work with her, he said," an insider told Star.
As one person close to Anthony said: "It's his Latin pride. It's been severely dented."
Added the source, "Discussions are now underway to resurrect his involvement in the show. Millions of dollars are on the line and producers are desperate to soothe the tension between their two stars."

After seven years of marriage, Lopez and Anthony announced they were splitting up in July.
They are parents to three-year-old twins Max and Emme.

Of course, Mark is upset. Any one would feel same in his shoes. It's disrespectful and tacky for JLO to flaunt her boy toy. And certainly her lawyer will not advise it...

Marc has an illegitimate child, then married former Miss Universe, (two sons) marriage ended, less than a WEEK after the divorce was FINALIZED, Marc married J-Lo! So, he impregnates 3 different women and people criticize J-Lo?

I really don't think that it's his 'pride'. I think it's that she is bringing a strange young man around their children so quickly when the kids are probably still trying to process what happened to mommy and daddy. She's an idiot!

some women want to be the same way as a man but it doesnt work... a man looks macho and cool but a woman who tries to live like that ends up used up and cheap and hard yuck! she just gets more disgusting by the day

I don't think there fight was about jealous. It's about respect, for you Marc and the children. They havn't files, for
divorce yet. They are only separated. She needs to have respect, for her family. That boy can wait.

Taking Casper around her children really Jennifer are you that dumb. If in 7 to 8 months you’re still with him witch I doubt .Then introduce your children to him.

She didn't even let the ink dry on the divorce papers. She probably was messing with this guy while she was married. That's probably why the marriage ended.

Notice her new boy toy is also in older Las Vagas pic.. see pic number 5.
Bottom line, Marc is better off. She is certifiable.

It's not classy of her to flaunt her new boytoy in front of her soon to be ex. It's too soon and she knows it. Marc deserves some time to heal and she needs to respect that.
