J-Lo told the crowd that Marc, with whom she shares twins Max and Emme, eight, would "always be many things in my life — a mentor, a soulmate, a father".

The star, who split from boyfriend Casper Smart last summer, added: "He is not only a Person of the Year, he is a living legend."

Dad of five Marc dedicated the award to his children, and did not mention Shannon in his acceptance speech.

They announced their separation in 2011, and their divorce was finalised three years later.

Shannon is Mark's third wife; his first was Puerto Rican actress Dayanara Torres, to whom he was married from 2000 to 2004.
