As Marc Anthony<\/a> prepares for his first Las Vegas residency, he is not relying on his ex-wife Jennifer Lopez<\/a> for guidance.<\/p>\n

In an interview with The Hollywood Reporter<\/a> published on Monday<\/a>, February 9, Anthony, 57, was asked whether Lopez, 56, has given him any advice about \u201cthe grueling nature of Las Vegas residencies\u201d since she has headlined shows in the Nevada hotspot \u201cseveral times.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cNo. I don\u2019t need advice from Jennifer as far as concerts are concerned,\u201d Anthony responded. \u201cI\u2019ve seen her residency as well. No, she hasn\u2019t.\u201d<\/p>\n

Lopez embarked on her first Las Vegas residency, All I Have, at Planet Hollywood Resort and Casino in January<\/a> 2016. The residency concluded in September 2018 after 120 shows, grossing $101.9 million.<\/p>\n

In December<\/a> 2025, Lopez kicked off her second residency<\/a>, Up All Night Live in Las Vegas, at the Colosseum at Caesars Palace. The venture is currently scheduled to wrap in March after 12 shows.<\/p>\n

As for Anthony, he will debut his first Las Vegas residency<\/a>, Vegas \u2026 My Way!, at Fontainebleau on Friday<\/a>, February 13. There are 10 live performances planned between February and August.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s a totally different proposition,\u201d he teased to The Hollywood Reporter. \u201cI have my stadium show and my arena show that I\u2019ve been doing for years, but this Vegas residency affords itself for me to do things I\u2019ve never done before. I\u2019m designing a show for this intimate room. I\u2019m going to sing songs I\u2019ve never been able to perform live in my life, for various reasons. When you have 114 No. 1s, you can only sing a certain amount. I\u2019m looking forward to just that bucket list moment of giving those songs life on stage.\u201d<\/p>\n

He added: \u201cIt\u2019s going to be a big party. I think I\u2019ll talk a little more; I\u2019ll probably tell a couple of stories. And since I\u2019ll be here for a while, we\u2019ll arrange for some special guests to pass through and duet with me.\u201d<\/p>\n

Anthony and Lopez were married from 2004 to 2014. Since their divorce, the pair have continued to co-parent their 17-year-old twins<\/a>, Max and Emme.<\/p>\n

Lopez previously told Kelly Ripa<\/a> in March 2017 that she and Anthony \u201care like best friends<\/a>\u201d following their split.<\/p>\n

Both of the artists have moved on too. Anthony has been married to Nadia Ferreira since January 2023. The couple, who are already parents of 2-year-old son<\/a> Marco, announced in January that they are expecting their second baby together. (Anthony also shares son Chase, 35, and daughter Arianna, 31, with ex-girlfriend Debbie Rosado and sons Cristian, 25, and Ryan, 22, with ex-wife Dayanara Torres.)<\/p>\n

As for Lopez, she tied the knot with Ben Affleck<\/a> in July 2022, though the two divorced in January 2025.<\/p>\n
