Let's take a trip down memory lane — through Jennifer Lopez's love history, to be more specific. The badass singer, actress, and producer has been linked to celebrities and civilians alike since she first hit the spotlight, and is now reportedly dating a new man: former MLB player Alex Rodriguez.
From her high school boyfriend through her engagement to Ben Affleck and her marriage to Marc, here's a deep look at J Lo's romantic roller coaster.
1. David Cruz
When: 1984-1994
Jennifer Lopez took her high school sweetheart relationship well into her early 20s. For a good chunk of her early adulthood, she learned to love and live alongside David Cruz.
2. Wesley Snipes
When: 1995
Right after her first big breakup, Lopez briefly crossed paths with Wesley Snipes. During the filming of Money Train, Lopez stated that Snipes tried persistently to date her and was openly flirty.
According to Remezcla, Lopez said, "He was flirting with me — you always flirt with your costars, it's harmless — then he just started getting a little more serious. He would invite us all out together and then at the end of the night, he'd drop me off last and try to kiss me. I'd be like, 'Wesley, please, I'm not interested in you like that.'"
3. Ojani Noa
When: 1997-1998
Jennifer Lopez's first husband was Ojani Noa, who was a waiter when they started dating. Since their split in 1998, Lopez's ex-husband has popped up in her life from time to time. In 2004, Lopez was able to put in place a confidentiality agreement between both parties that she later claimed he was violating when he shopped around both a tell-all book and a honeymoon tape.
4. Tommy Mottola
When: 1998
While this romance was never confirmed, the roots for it go back to a Maria Carey / Jennifer Lopez / Tommy Mottola triangle of sorts. Mariah was married to Tommy until 1998, the same year that J Lo divorced from Ojani. In the midst of the divorce, she left Sony Music as Tommy started investing more into Jennifer's career. The relationship between Carey and Lopez has been tense ever since.
5. Sean Combs
When: 1999-2001
Before Diddy was Diddy or any other variation of his name, he was Puff Daddy, and Jennifer Lopez's boyfriend. Together, they weathered through getting arrested and alleged infidelities on Combs's part. In an interview, J Lo said, "I never caught him, but I just knew. He'd say he was going to a club for a couple of hours and then never come back that night."
6. Cris Judd
When: 2001-2002
Almost immediately following her split from Combs, Jennifer married Cris Judd, one of her former backup dancers. Of their relationship, she said, "I loved Cris, still love him, he's one of the best people. This wasn't an easy thing to walk away from, but we didn't have what it takes to make a marriage work . . . Cris knows the last thing I ever wanted in this f*cking world was to hurt him."
7. Ben Affleck
When: 2002-2004
After Cris, Lopez had a long engagement with Ben Affleck that lasted a little over a year and a half. Jennifer told People, "I think different time, different thing, who knows what could've happened, but there was a genuine love there."
8. Marc Anthony
When: 2004-2011
After tumultuous relationship histories on both ends, Marc and Jennifer made it work for over seven years. They had their twins, Max and Emme, and even after their split are known to be coparenting. Most recently, they shared an onstage kiss during the Latin Grammys.
9. Casper Smart
When: 2011-2016
Jennifer Lopez met Casper Smart when he was working as a backup dancer on her tour. They've dated on and off for the last almost six years, but officially called it quits in 2016. While much of their relationship has been low-key, the pictures do show that the two happily enjoy each other's company.
10. Drake
When: 2017
J Lo and Drake shared photos together on social media, attended a prom-themed party together where they were spotted kissing, and all around sure seemed like a couple. J Lo even discussed the relationship on the Grammys red carpet, telling Ryan Seacrest they "had a great time" together. It sounds like it was all just a fling.
11. Alex Rodriguez
When: 2017
Though we haven't heard this from J Lo or A Rod, People magazine reported that the baseball player and singer are an item. A source reportedly said: "She seems excited. He has been around her family and she really likes that he is a dad. She is aware, though, that he is a ladies' man too and is being cautious."
