Jennifer Lopez fumbles wedding ring explanation, denies she's divorcing


Jennifer Lopez has an itty-bitty problem with her absentee wedding ring explanation.


The singer-actress poo-poos reports that her marriage to Marc Anthony is on the rocks in the new issue of In Touch Weekly, telling the mag that she occasionally leaves her 8.2 carat Neil Lane engagement ring at home because it doesn't go with her outfit.


"Every time I'm not wearing my ring, people think I'm getting divorced," says Lopez, who doffed her diamond for the Golden Globes.


"That's crazy! It just didn't go with the dress."


Oh, really?!


Lopez made waves in early December when she hit the red carpet for the premiere of "The Curious Case of Benjamin Button" sans her significant bauble, reportedly worth $1 million.


And she was wearing ... white.


Lopez doesn't seem to have anything against the neutral tone: The 39-year-old flashed the ring while wearing white on at least four separate occasions in September.


She has also paired her platinum sparkler with gold jewelry and accessories in the past.


Despite multiple reports to the contrary, the thrice-married singer denies that the couple is headed for Splitsville.


"Divorce is not — and was never — an option," she says.


Sources have said the twosome plan to split after their big Valentine's Day show at Madison Square Garden.


Lopez and Anthony , who are parents to 11-month-old twins Max and Emme, wed in a secret ceremony in 2004.


Lopez left her ring at home for the Golden Globes, saying it didn't match her outfit.


Lopez wore her platinum band with gold jewelry at the2006 Academy Awards.
