Jennifer Lopez brought out the cheers as hubby Marc Anthony performed “The Star-Spangled Banner” during the Monday Night Football matchup between the Miami Dolphins and NY Jets in Miami last night.

FYI, Marc and Jennifer and part-owners in the Dolphins franchise.

Marc Anthony asked his singer-actress wife Jennifer Lopez to marry him within seconds of meeting her.

The pair married her in 2004 and the 40-year-old singer has 17-month-old twins, Max and Emme, with Jennifer. The salsa star says he was convinced he would spend the rest of his life with the brunette the moment they met backstage at Broadway production in 1997.

“She came to see me backstage at a theatre. As soon as she walked through the door I don’t know what hit me. But I probably said the worst thing. I said, ‘You’re my wife and you don’t even know it,’ and she was like, ‘Excuse me? Well that’s intense.’ I had no idea where that came from. But she was very cute and now she gets it! She’s my girl,” Marc explains.

The couple briefly dated after their first meeting, but both went on to marry other people before they reunited. Marc and Jennifer attended Jennifer’s birthday party “An Evening for Lola” at the Club Edison in New York City over the weekend.

“I could quite possibly be staring at the first day of the rest of my life,” Anthony said in a news conference in New York. “That’s quite exciting at this stage of the game. I’m a little nervous. I’d rather sing. That’s much easier to me?..It’s a storied franchise, a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. I’m going to try to make it to my seat because my knees are a little weak.”

“I’m a huge sports fan,” the 40-year-old star remarked in an interview with PEOPLE this morning. “These opportunities don’t come around too often. It’s quite an honor and a privilege to be able to sit here today saying that I’m a part-owner of an NFL team.”

The Dolphins went from a dismal 1-15 record in 2007 to 11-5 and the 2008 AFC East Championship, before losing to the Baltimore Ravens in the playoffs.
