The artist and his spouse announced the happy news on their third wedding anniversary. They got married on January 28, 2023 in Miami.

This will be Anthony’s eighth child; he has been married four times.
In June of 1994, he welcomed his first child, a daughter named Arianna, with then-girlfriend Debbie Rosado.
They also adopted a son together, Chase, who was born in 1995.
In February of 2001, he welcomed a son named Cristian Marcus Muñiz with former Miss Universe Dayanara Torres, his first wife.
And then they welcomed their second son, Ryan Adrian Muñiz, in August of 2003.
In February 2008, he welcomed twins Max and Emme Muniz, now 18-year-old college students, with his second wife, Lopez.
Lopez famously divorced Ben Affleck in January 2025 after two years of marriage. He has three children – Violet, Seraphina and Samuel – with ex-wife Jennifer Garner.
This happy news comes just as Anthony has been caught up in a controversy involving the Beckham family.
Nicola Peltz and her family ‘left the room’ following Victoria Beckham’s ‘inappropriate’ dance with her son Brooklyn, according to the wedding DJ Fat Tony.
The 26-year-old star accused his mother of hijacking his first dance with Nicola, 31, at their 2022 wedding in an explosive Instagram post earlier this week and Fat Tony – who played at the bash – has revealed that the bride was pursued by her family after fleeing the room in tears following the dance to a love song performed by Anthony.

How do you feel about celebrities having large families with multiple partners?

The DJ told the Daily Mail: ‘The timing was inappropriate for me. It was meant to be the bride and groom’s moment.
‘It was in the heat of the moment. Brooklyn left right after the dance. Nicola left the room and afterwards he went after her. Nicola’s family left, they went after their daughter. Marc Anthony is a Latin singer. It was a love song.’
Quizzed on if Brooklyn had his hands on his mother’s hips, Fat Tony said: ‘Well, yeah. It was slow dancing, it wasn’t like some samba number. Victoria had her arms around his neck.’
Brooklyn revealed that he did not wish to reconcile with Victoria or his dad Sir David Beckham in his dramatic Instagram post on Monday (19.01.26) and Fat Tony is saddened by the breakdown in relations.
He said: ‘Brooklyn is a friend of mine. The whole situation is just awful, the way it’s played out so publicly.

‘Families are families, I don’t know what started it. At one point someone might say something publicly.’
Fat Tony added: ‘Brooklyn is upset about a lot of things, sometimes the smallest of things can become bigger than the biggest of things, because it highlights it.
‘I’m not speaking bad about either party in it, I’m just putting the narrative straight about the dance.
‘Families don’t get on sometimes. It’s not the Waltons, it’s the Beckhams. I’m sure they don’t all go to bed at night and say good night and switch the lights off like the Waltons do.
‘There are problems with every family, this one just happened to be played out publicly. I’ve talked about it because someone needs to speak about it, and here is what it is. I didn’t make it about me, Brooklyn or the Beckhams, it was just about the situation. Although people have laughed at the memes and they have been incredible, there are still two people here that are in pain. We have to remember that. Everyone needs to let it die down now.’
