Anthony was born Marco Antonio Muñiz in New York City, the son of Guillermina, a housewife, and Felipe Muñiz, a musician and hospital lunchroom worker.His parents were Puerto Rican and named him after Marco Antonio Muñiz, a Mexican singer popular in Puerto Rico. He has a sister named Yolanda Muniz.
Anthony has a daughter, Arianna (1994) , with his New York police officer ex-girlfriend Debbie Rosado. Anthony married former Miss Universe Dayanara Torres on 9 May 2000 in Las Vegas. They have two sons, Cristian Anthony Muñiz (5 Feb 2001) and Ryan Anthony Muñiz (16 Aug 2003). It was a rocky marriage,and they separated in summer 2002. They later reconciled and renewed their vows in a spectacular ceremony held in Puerto Rico in December of 2002.In 2003, a Miami waitress filed paternity charges against Anthony; multiple DNA-tests, the last in August 2004, disproved her claims. The couple's final separation was in October 2003. Torres filed for divorce in January 2004.
As the divorce proceeded, Anthony was seen out with actress-singer Jennifer Lopez, a long-time friend he had worked with in music videos. They had briefly dated in the late '90s, before his first marriage and her second one. Lopez and Anthony were recording a duet together in early 2004, for Lopez's then-upcoming film Shall We Dance? Lopez and Anthony married in a quiet home wedding on June 5, 2004, less than a week after his divorce from Torres was finalized on June 1. On the morning of the wedding, however, the media was tipped off and circled her backyard in helicopters. Photographs, alerting the rest of the world, soon followed. Reports fueled rumors that Lopez was pregnant but this was not the case.
Their guests had been invited to an "afternoon party" at Lopez's house and had not been made aware that they were actually going to her wedding. The couple had planned not to publicize their marriage early on, allowing more privacy and time together in an otherwise intrusive environment. Days after the wedding, Anthony refused to comment on their marriage during interviews which were scheduled earlier to promote a new album "Amar Sin Mentiras" (To Love Without Lies), which would earn him a Grammy award the following year.In February 2005 Lopez confirmed the marriage, and added that "everyone knows. It's not a secret".A few months later, Anthony's daughter, Ariana, appeared at the beginning and the end of her new stepmother Jennifer's music video music video "Get Right" as her little sister. Regarding his marriage and family life, Anthony maintains a private and sometimes defensive stance with the media, which has influenced Lopez to set some boundaries with interviewers.
After weeks of speculation on November 8, 2007, Marc and Jennifer confirmed to fans in a Miami concert that they are in fact expecting their first child together. Lopez's first and Anthony's fourth.
