marc anthony new girlfriend at the grammysPuerto Rican singer Marc Anthony made his first public appearance with his new girlfriend Shannon De Lima at the 2012 Grammy Awards last night.

For the first time, they gladly posed for the cameras, as Marc was showing off his "Statue of Liberty", as he has lovingly called Shannon before.

The Venezuelan model appeared camera-friendly in a black one-shoulder dress while Anthony kept it classic in a black suit and white button down shirt.

Anthony, 43, who is normally more reserved about his love life, was gladly parading his new love as she was more valuable than the Grammys being presented that night. They held hands together for the photographers inside the Staples Center and then, the two lovebirds took it a step further, as he grabbed her thigh. Smile!

The salsa singer's ex-wife Jennifer Lopez skipped out on the Grammys this year. Could she have been avoiding her ex and his new love?
