Split: Jennifer Lopez and Marc Anthony announced their break up last week
Jennifer Lopez has a reputation as one of the most desirable women on the planet, but it seems her estranged husband Marc Anthony wasn't so keen on her sexy image.
According to reports, the 42-year-old Latin singer wanted his wife to look a little more demure when it came to her wardrobe.
'He would make her feel terrible about herself if she wanted to wear something sexy,' a source told Us Weekly.
'He likes her to dress in a demure, "wife'"style. He hated the fact that she was a sex symbol.'
Another source recalled that Anthony tried to make the star's fashion choices for her when she took part in a photo shoot last year.
Anthony is said to have objected to a particular photograph that he found 'too sexy and unbecoming for a 40-year-old mother of two,' the insider says.
The couple announced they were separating after seven years of marriage last week, insisting it was an amicable decision.
Since then, many commentators have speculated on the reasons behind the split, with some pointing to Anthony's 'controlling' ways.
'Marc has always been a very dominating husband,' another source said. 'He wants to control everything Jennifer does.'
