American superstar, Jennifer Lopez, popularly known as J.Lo, has experienced the highs and lows of love and marriage, with her personal life frequently making headlines.
Throughout her illustrious career, the singer and actress has gone through divorce proceedings four times.
In this article, Tribune Online takes a look at the four times the singer has been at the centre of marital crises.
1. Ojani Noa (1997-1998)
Jennifer Lopez’s first marriage was to Cuban waiter, Ojani Noa in February 1997. However, the union was brief and ended in divorce just a year later.
2. Cris Judd (2001-2003)
After parting ways with Ojani Noa, Jennifer Lopez tied the knot with her former backup dancer, Cris Judd in September 2001. The marriage was also short-lived and ended in divorce in January 2003.
3. Marc Anthony (2004-2014)
In what could be described as her longest marriage, the singer married fellow singer, Marc Anthony in June 2004, with whom she shares twins, Max and Emme. After a decade together, Lopez and Anthony parted ways in June 2014.
4. Ben Affleck (2022-2024)
In her most recent marital breakdown, Lopez announced on Wednesday, 21st August, that her highly publicised relationship with actor, Ben Affleck has ended. The couple, nicknamed “Bennifer”, first got engaged in 2002 but called it off in 2004. They rekindled their romance in 2021 and married in 2022. However, they have decided to go their separate ways two years later. Apart from her four divorces, Jennifer Lopez also dated David Cruz, Puff Daddy, Casper Smart, and Alex Rodriguez at various points in time.
Despite her many marital challenges, Lopez seems to remain optimistic about finding love again. In an interview with the Associated Press earlier this year, the ‘All I Have’ singer said, “Love is beautiful. Love is kind. And it turns out love is patient.”
