Jennifer Lopez and Marc Anthony may have called it quits on their marriage, but the couple isn't exactly estranged. On the contrary, they're filming a reality TV show together! As Marc and J.Lo travel Latin America side by side in search of the next big live performer on 'Q'Viva! The Chosen,' the pair have spoken out about the ups and downs of working together with a divorce looming.

"We laugh a lot," J.Lo revealed during an interview with Marc on 'The Ellen DeGeneres Show,' painting a rosy picture of the couple's working relationship.

But the show's executive producer and co-host Jamie King quickly interrupted to insist, "Not always. I find myself in the middle refereeing sometimes. It's fantastic." Whoops, looks like you just got exposed, Jennifer!

King has even had to break up a physical fight between the two! Well, sort of. Apparently J.Lo (lovingly?) slapped Marc upside the head while filming. "All I did was this [touches Marc's head]," Lopez insisted. "She can't help herself," Marc added.

In a solo interview with 'Entertainment Tonight,' Anthony said that the playful element of their friendship post-split originated during their days as a happy couple. "The relationship has always been like that, we always goof off, bust each others' chops, and this is a continuation of that." The singer also commented on the similarities he and Lopez share with another pair of famous exes who also continued to work together after splitting -- Sonny Bono and Cher.

"Sony and Cher? That was a Jennifer thing. Sonny and Cher after the divorce. I'd have to agree. The fact that we're still working together and enjoying it and our schtick," Marc said, agreeing with Jennifer's comparison.

Marc went on to dispel any rumors of tension between the two. "It hasn't been difficult, it hasn't been awkward," he said before jokingly adding, "We don't have communication issues we just don't communicate! [But] really, the way it played it out was really gratifying and when we decided to do it and finish what we started it wasn't hard at all."
