Puerto Rican singer Marc Anthony married his girlfriend, Venezuelan model Shannon de Lima, on Tuesday in the Dominican Republic, sources close to the artist told Efe.
The ceremony was held at the home Anthony owns in Casa de Campo, in eastern La Romana province, according to the same sources.
Access routes to the area have been closed off and heavily monitored since Monday and entry into the zone is only being permitted for people with specific authorization by local residents.
Dominican singer Juan Luis Guerra and Carlos Vives are scheduled to perform at the post-wedding party, the sources said.
Anthony and Guerra are currently making their joint “Gigante2” singing tour through Latin America, which will conclude on Dec. 4 in Costa Rica.
The former spouse of Jennifer Lopez tied the knot once again in the same province where on April 2 he inaugurated the Niños de Cristo orphanage, which was financed by the Maestro Cares Foundation he heads along with Colombian businessman and concert producer Henry Cardenas.
On that occasion, the singer was accompanied by his girlfriend, who stars in his latest music video, which tells a fictional story of love ending in marriage.
Filmed last August in different spots around La Romana, the video features the song Flor palida and tells a romantic country tale with the singer and De Lima portraying the two lovers.
Sandra Bullock in Puerto Rico filming Our Brand is Crisis
Sandra Bullock is in Puerto Rico to shoot scenes for Our Brand is Crisis, a political comedy-drama co-produced by George Clooney.
Hollywood’s highest-paid actress arrived over the weekend at San Juan’s Luis Muñoz Marin International Airport, Puerto Rican media outlets said.
David Gordon Green is directing the film, which is based on a 2005 documentary of the same name about the role of prominent U.S. political consultants, including James Carville, in the re-election campaign of Bolivian President Gonzalo Sánchez de Lozada.
Besides Bullock, the cast includes Scoot McNairy, Billy Bob Thornton, Anthony Mackie and Ann Dowd.
The film began shooting Sept. 29 in New Orleans and the crew is expected to spend around two weeks in Puerto Rico filming the scenes set in Bolivia.
The Puerto Rican government offers generous incentives to film studios.
