Marc Anthony has a new project in the works – and it's not musical: The singer has become a partial owner of the Miami Dolphins, Anthony tells PEOPLE exclusively.
"I'm a huge sports fan," says Anthony, 40. "These opportunities don't come around too often. It's quite an honor and a privilege to be able to sit here today saying that I'm a part-owner of an NFL team."
Anthony struck a deal with Stephen Ross, the New York-based real estate entrepreneur who bought a 95-percent stake in the Dolphins franchise in January. The singer did not disclose the financial terms. "It would have probably been cheaper just to buy season tickets," he said, joking. (Ross paid $1 billion for his share of the team, Sports Illustrated reported at the time.)
