Lopez first met Ben Affleck in 2001 on the set of the film Gigli. They quickly became one of Hollywood’s most talked-about couples, nicknamed “Bennifer.” The couple got engaged in 2002 when Affleck proposed with a 6.1-carat pink diamond ring.
However, they called off their wedding in 2003 due to excessive media attention. In January 2004, they officially ended their relationship, and Lopez described it as her first big heartbreak.
Despite their split, Lopez and Affleck remained in touch over the years. Affleck has spoken publicly about their relationship, saying they are still supportive of each other’s careers.
Cris Judd (2001—2002)
Jennifer Lopez met choreographer Cris Judd while filming the music video for Love Don’t Cost a Thing, which Judd directed. The couple married in September 2001, but their marriage lasted less than a year, as they filed for divorce in July 2002.
Lopez later explained that their marriage failed because they lacked the necessary elements to sustain it. “I loved Cris, still love him, he’s one of the best people,” she said in an interview. “But we didn’t have what it takes to make a marriage work.”
Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs (1999—2001)
Lopez started dating Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs in 1999, right around the time she released her debut album, On the 6. The couple was frequently in the spotlight, particularly after their iconic appearance at the 2000 Grammys, when Lopez wore the famous green Versace dress. However, their relationship ended in 2001, with Lopez later implying that infidelity was a factor in their split.
Ojani Noa (1997—1998)
Jennifer Lopez first married Ojani Noa, a waiter she met while eating at a Cuban restaurant in Miami. The couple married in 1997 and divorced less than a year later, in January 1998.
Although they were initially on good terms, their relationship soured when Noa attempted to profit from their marriage by writing a book and filming a documentary about their time together. Lopez successfully sued to stop him from disclosing private information about their relationship.
