Marc Anthony is ready to jump into another marriage and his ex-wife Jennifer Lopez is nothing but all smiles for him. According to Us Magazine, Lopez told the New York Daily, "I'm happy for him."

She may be single but she's not giving up on love altogether, adding, "I am totally single. It's not going to be forever. Someone great will come along."

Earlier in the week, news broke about Anthony's engagement to Shannon De Lima, which wasn't so recent after all: he popped the question to the model back in March, but only made the plans public after his divorce with Lopez was finalized. However, photos of De Lima with a big rock on her finger has already made appearances in her Instagram account for a few months, which only led to rumors. But it's official: he is set to wed De Lima by mid-November in the Dominican Republic.

Lopez spoke about being single via The Daily Mail, saying that, "There's a lot of people in my life and that's hard. There's people in the house. There's hair and make-up. It's a lot, I think, for someone to deal with. Forget about all the outside stuff, being judged, being under scrutiny in the relationship ... I guess that adds in ... but I think they would say that [the entourage] was a big part of their discomfort, if there was any."

Despite being happy for Anthony's upcoming wedding, she recalled how difficult it was for her when they broke up, especially for the children. She said, "You don't really say anything to a three-year-old, because they don't really understand anything is happening ... I remember like maybe after Marc wasn't in the house for about eight months, Max saying something because my dad came over.

"It was so painful. I go, 'That's my daddy,' and he goes, 'My daddy left me.' I said 'No, baby, your daddy didn't leave you. You know how my daddy goes home? Your daddy goes home, too.' You're just scrambling at that point. What can you say to a three-year-old?"

She also admitted about her failure in relationships in a book that she's currently promoting called "True Love", tagging the one with Anthony specifically be saying, "Things between Marc and me weren't perfect. Our marriage was never the kind to glide along peacefully. From the beginning it was tumultuous, passionate and explosive."

Anthony's marriage to De Lima will add her 7-year-old son to his already large brood. Anthony had children from previous relationships: 20-year-old Ariana with ex-girlfriend Debbie Rosado, 13- and 11-year-olds Cristian and Ryan with former Miss Universe Dayanara Torres, and 6-year-old twins Max and Emme with Lopez.
