Hollywood's Secret Couples
Over the weekend, the newly-camera-shy JENNIFER LOPEZ was out supporting her, ahem -- friend? colleague? boyfriend? -- MARC ANTHONY, at the premiere of his upcoming thriller 'Man on Fire.' But the pretty pair walked the red carpet separately, taking part in what is emerging as the new trend in Hollywood hookups.

Tonight on ET, we take a look inside some of Tinseltown's most secret couples, which The New York Post's Page Six writer PAULA FROELICH says is a movement that's catching on for a very key reason!
"People have seen what happens to relationships when they're too open about them and it's usually a recipe for disaster," she says.
Over the past five years, Lopez and Anthony have gone from amorous to friendly and many are wondering if they're back on the romance track. But after they were recently pictured together holding hands, there's little doubt left in the public's mind that the singing sensations are indeed an official couple. And Froelich thinks the duo is smart to keep it under wraps, considering their pasts.
"Jennifer Lopez is pretty much the queen of public displays of affection and I think after three tries at public coupling she's finally realized, 'Hey if I'm going to make something work, I've got to keep it private.'" The two first dated in 1999 and rumors that they were back together began when the twosome were spotted dining together after the Golden Globe® Awards, just five days after her very public split from ex-fiancé BEN AFFLECK, and only weeks after DAYANARA TORRES filed for divorce from Anthony after a 3-1/2-year marriage.
Lopez's co-star in the upcoming flick 'Monsters-in-Law,' "Alias" star MICHAEL VARTAN, is also involved in a hush-hush relationship. Although the striking blond of the hit spy show is seen quite often on-screen with costar JENNIFER GARNER, fans will have to search far and wide to get a glimpse of them together outside of the office. Garner was married to her "Felicity" costar SCOTT FOLEY for three years and rumors started to fly in May of 2003 -- the same month she filed for divorce from Foley -- that she was, in fact, dating the French-born Vartan. Froelich speculates it was Garner and Foley's split that urged them to stay under the radar. "There were lots of rumors that she was with Michael at the end of her relationship with Scott so they had to keep a very low profile for a while."

The fiercely private GWYNETH PALTROW has kept quiet on her love life since her very public romance with BRAD PITT came to a close in 1997. The Oscar® winner has become even more tight-lipped since her marriage last December to Brit rocker CHRIS MARTIN. Froelich believes the pair were never interested in the limelight from the get go. "They'd been there so often and knew what could happen," she says. "So I think they took it to heart and said, 'We want our marriage to work.'" And just two months before their top-secret Santa Barbara nuptials, the 31-year-old Paltrow told our own STEVEN COJOCARU why she preferred to not go into specifics about their relationship. "The relationship that I'm in is very sacred to me and I just feel like I need to protect it," she said. "Because it's something that's very, very special." The performing pair are expecting their first baby this summer and there's no doubt the bundle of joy will not be crawling any red carpet soon!

Twenty-two-year-old pop diva and Grammy winner BEYONCÉ KNOWLES has been linked to 34-year-old rapper JAY-Z for nearly two years, yet the pair have never officially announced they are boyfriend and girlfriend. They've always referred to each other as "friend," and Froelich thinks the strategy has worked well. "Beyoncé and Jay-Z are the queen and king of covert coupling," she says. "Their ploy has worked so well, some people in America still believe they're just friends -- by the way, they're not!"
Although always saying they're "just friends," Beyoncé and Jay-Z were spotted together at a Lakers game
