Jennifer Lopez and Marc Anthony finalise divorce

A judge has finalised Jennifer Lopez and Marc Anthony's divorce nearly three years after the singers separated.

A Los Angeles Superior Court judge finalised the couple's breakup on Monday, awarding the former couple joint legal custody of their twin children.

The pair agreed that Lopez will have their son and daughter most of time, with Anthony caring for them for seven days a month. The singers also agreed that no child or spousal support was necessary.

The judgment was first reported on Wednesday by celebrity website TMZ.

Anthony filed for divorce in April 2012, but the pair separated in July 2011.

Anthony's latest Spanish album 3.0 has been a hit. He announced earlier this year that he's working an English-language pop album.

Lopez released her latest album A.K.A. this week.
