Jennifer Lopez to perform with ex

Jennifer Lopez and Marc Anthony are set to perform together as part of the Q'Viva! The Chosen Live.

The estranged husband and wife have announced they'll take to the stage in Las Vegas on May 26 in a show that will feature contestants from their hit TV talent series.

Marc is thrilled to be representing the television show which sees the former couple travel across the globe to find the best Latin talent.

"It's a very unique, modern way, and sexy way, to package these traditional talents," he explained. "I'm really, really looking forward to the live show."

Marc and Jennifer serve as hosts and executive producers on the show.

Marc - who has twins Max and Emme with Jennifer - knows people are surprised that he is still able to work alongside his former lover.

"I know it's shocking to people and I hear that a lot," he laughed in an interview with the Associated Press. "It's more shocking to me that it's shocking to people."

Marc and Jennifer were together for seven years. The singer is thankful there is no bad blood between the pair.

"Thank God that's not the case, obviously. Maybe if that was the case, it would've been different," he said.

"But, that's why I can tell you it was a wonderful experience all the way around."

Around 52 performers are also set to take to the stage as part of the concert next month. Marc is thrilled with how the contestants have all bonded.

"I thought that bringing all of these artists together in one house would have been a little more dynamic by way of conflict," he said. "That's one thing that absolutely blew me away, the way they became one nation. And that's how they would put it — 'We're one nation, all of us.'"

Q'Viva! The Chosen is in its first season. Marc promises that the show will be back.

"Absolutely. We're in the middle of setting it up now," he revealed. "This is a passion project. ... I'm looking forward to doing it again. It's bigger than all of us. It's a movement."
