Who Has Jennifer Lopez Dated? See J. Lo’s Ex-Husbands, More

Singer Jennifer Lopez has an A-list dating history! Since making her Hollywood debut, the “Ain’t Your Mama” singer has had her fair share of boyfriends, fiancés and husbands — from Sean “Diddy” Combs to to dancer Casper Smart — and husbands, including a seven-year marriage to Marc Anthony, with whom she has two (seriously adorable) children, Max and Emme, and current husband Ben Affleck

After calling it quits with backup dancer Casper in mid-2014, the “On the Floor” artist moved on with MLB alum Alex Rodriguez. The Grammy nominee and athlete started dating in 2017 and announced their engagement two years later. Sadly, in April 2021, Jennifer and Alex publicly confirmed their split after four years together.

“We have realized we are better as friends and look forward to remaining so,” the former couple wrote in a joint statement to Today. “We will continue to work together and support each other on our shared businesses and projects. We wish the best for each other and one another’s children. Out of respect for them, the only other comment we have to say is thank you to everyone who has sent kind words and support.”

Their statement came one month after a source told In Touch the duo was “on a break” amid relationship issues. “It’s been a long time coming. There were trust issues and the relationship just wasn’t working. They’re both sad about it,” the insider said at the time. “She is prioritizing her family and kids. They may get back together in the future but need time to figure out what they really want.”

That’s not to say the Bronx native and World Series winner left things on bad terms, as she has remained amicable with most of her exes. Jennifer is still incredibly close with ex-husband Marc. The songstress opened up about their devastating divorce during an appearance on The Meredith Vieira Show.

“A lot of it is private, but at the same time, you just come to a realization like, ‘This is not the best thing for all of us,’ and that’s what it comes down to. And when you have kids, you have to think about those things,” the “Love Don’t Cost a Thing” artist acknowledged. “It’s not just about you anymore, it’s about them. And I wanted the best situation for all of us, and I think Marc did too, and that’s what we feel that we did.”

Following her split from the former New York Yankees star, she moved on with former fiancé Ben that same month and announced their second engagement in April 2022 after rekindling their love one year prior.

“So, I have a really exciting and special story to share,” the Marry Me actress said in a video that was published on her “On the JLo” newsletter and posted via Twitter and Instagram that month.

Nearly three months later, Life & Style confirmed that the couple obtained a marriage license in Clark County, Nevada. According to TMZ, the lovebirds tied the knot in a Vegas-style ceremony, followed by a lavish celebration at Ben’s Riceboro, Georgia, estate the following month.

Ojani Noa (1997-1998)

The Miami waiter and Jennifer were married for just one year before filing for divorce. In 2006, she sued her first husband after he threatened to release a tell-all book about their relationship.

After Jennifer tied the knot with Ben in July 2022, Ojani publicly spoke out about her marriage.

“I wish her and Ben the best, but I’m not convinced it will last,” he told the Daily Mail that month. “Jen loves being in love, but she’s been engaged six times. Ben is husband number four. I was husband number one, and she told me I was the love of her life. When we lay in bed on our wedding night, she said we would be together forever.”

“We fell in love when she was already famous,” he continued. “But during our marriage, she became a megastar. For years, it was too painful to talk about. I wanted to lie low and live my life. But when I saw she got married to Ben, who is a good guy, the feelings came flooding back.’

Ben Affleck (2002-2004 and 2021-Present)

“Bennifer” was the ultimate Hollywood couple until they called off their engagement in 2004. After J. Lo split from A-Rod in April 2021, she and Ben rekindled their romance. One year later, the Marry Me actress announced on her “On the JLo” newsletter that she and Ben got engaged again.

In July 2022, Life & Style confirmed that the couple obtained a marriage license in Nevada. According to TMZ, the pair tied the knot in a Vegas-style ceremony. One month later, the happy couple held a wedding ceremony in front of their families and friends in Georgia.

Alex Rodriguez (2017-2021)

The singer and former baseball player were first spotted together back in 2017. After two years of dating, the athlete got down on one knee and proposed to the mom-of-two. They announced their engagement on March 9 by sharing a photo of her giant diamond ring on Instagram. Sadly, their love didn’t last, and they split by April 2021.

After she married Ben in 2022, Alex broke his silence on his ex’s marriage in a September 2022 episode of CNN, saying, “With Jennifer, look, it was a good experience. I wish her and the children, who are smart and beautiful and wonderful — I wish them the very best.”
