SHOCK SPLIT: Jennifer Lopez's ex Marc Anthony splits with new girlfriend

Marc Anthony split from Jennifer Lopez in the summer of 2011

Marc Anthony,Jennifer Lopez's ex, has split from his 24-year-old Venezuelan model girlfriend Shannon De Lima.

The couple called time on their relationship earlier this month but plan to remain friends.

'The amicable breakup became official right in mid-January,' Marc's representative told E! News.

Jennifer, 43, recently revealed she felt like her 'whole life had fallen apart' when she split from him.

Marc, 44, filed for divorce in April 2012 following their seven-year marriage.

'It was very hard to get up in the morning,' she says. 'Very hard. When you're depressed and sad all the time it's very difficult.'

The pair - who have four-year-old twins Emme and Max together - have always remained on good terms and even continued to work together on their Latin TV star search, Q'Viva! The Chosen in the months after their split.
