Marc Anthony wants to set the record straight: An affair is not what ended his seven-year marriage to Jennifer Lopez.

“People are trying to peg it on things because it was so shocking,” Anthony told Nightline about the seemingly-abrupt end to his marriage. Instead, he said the couple simply made a joint decision to split.

About the rampant rumors that Anthony’s marriage failed due to an affair between himself and HawthoRNe co-star Jada Pinkett Smith, Anthony just shakes his head in laughter.

“When something like that happens, it’s laughable. We’ve been friends for years. Jada, Jennifer, me, [Will Smith], for years,” he said, adding: “It was a flight attendant, it was the pilot – I heard it was this guy sitting next to me in a rehab in Houston. I’ve heard it all.”

And now, we have heard it all too from Anthony himself….
