Newly single star Marc Anthony says that his split from Jennifer Lopez won't affect his relationship their kids, 3-year-old twins Max and Emme.

"I'm always going to be Daddy," Marc tells ABC News. "And they're used to me traveling and Jennifer traveling and, you know, we speak all the time, and try to maintain that presence."

Saying he'll "always love" his ex, Marc adds, "Jennifer's a wonderful, wonderful woman, a wonderful mother, a wonderful friend, you know. We understand this to be a long story. This is not a short story."

Though their marriage didn't work out, the 42-year-old singer insists that he and J.Lo still share a strong friendship.

"I think anybody will tell you how I supported her, from day one. I'm really, really happy for her. We're going to be in each other's lives for many, many, many years, and I'm glad that our friendship is that strong."
