Marc Anthony is proud of ex Jennifer Lopez

Los Angeles: Marc Anthony says he is supportive of ex wife Jennifer Lopez as she works really hard and deserves everything that she has achieved in her life.

The 'American Idol' judge has opened up about her marriage and private life in "True Love" and though Anthony would still not comment on his divorce, he is happy with her book debut.

"I was proud of her. I know what it takes and I know her very, very well. I just did everything in my power to be supportive of her," he said on Meredith Vieira Show.

Lopez was so comfortable with her ex that she allowed to share stories during the writing process. Anthony, on his part, still wants to keep the matter a bit more private.

"I don't talk about it much as a whole; I just think that's private. I really do and I never have and I'm not sure I ever will. I don't think it's for public consumption. It's hard enough as it is," he said.
