Marc Anthony planted a kiss on ex-wife Jennifer Lopez’s lips on Thursday at the Latin Grammys.
And soon rumours were flying that the singers, who are working on a Spanish language album together, are back on.
But the married salsa master seemed to want to shoot down those rumours fast as within hours he planted a kiss on all his pals within his private jet – men included – to prove kissing on the lips is not a big deal and does not mean there is romance on the table.
A source also went to TMZ on Friday to clarify that there is no romance between the artists that have twins Max and Emme, aged eight, together.
