Singers, dancers, actors, sometimes all together - just like her when you think about it.
Jennifer Lopez (52) may be a talented singer, actress, dancer and a sharp and very rich businesswoman, but when it comes to love she is much less successful in her choices and over the past decades has managed to get married, divorced and have multiple and mediated romantic relationships.
Now, with the comeback to the mythical ex Ben Affleck, almost two decades after they canceled their wedding four days before they were supposed to commit to loving forever, we are back in Jenny's romantic time tunnel.
So who was there?
Who went, who came back, and who stayed?
My first time
While still off the block and a little less than the luxury estates, Lopez said "I do" for the first time to Eugenie Noah, a waiter of Cuban descent, to whom she had been married from 1997 to 1998.

The divorce was her first and also the ugliest, when Noah threatened to publish a particularly yellow book about Lopez (and slandered her for every tabloid he agreed to pay), and she sued him in return.
A shot in the dark
In 1999 she was in a relationship with rapper Shane (Moses Michael Levy Barrow, son of Belize Prime Minister Dean Barrow).

This relationship ended in a boom (literally), when Lopez found herself at the scene of a serious shooting incident with him, in which he shot in the air and wounded 3 people.
He was convicted of assault and sentenced to 9 years in prison.

In 1999, Lopez again managed to find herself at the center of a scandal with the law, when her partner at the time, rapper Phi Didi (also known as Puff Daddy and born Sean Combs) was involved in a shooting incident at a New York club in which three people were injured.

Didi was charged and later acquitted of all five charges filed against him for possession of a weapon and bribery.
Lopez, who was with her at the scene, was also arrested but no legal proceedings were ever taken against her.
The two broke up in 2001, and despite rumors of infidelity on the part of Didi Bluff while they were in a relationship, have remained in a friendly relationship over the years.
My private dancer
In 2001, she married Chris Judd, who was her backing dancer (and starred in the clip for the hit hit Love Don't Cost a Thing), from whom she divorced in 2002.

The son will love her
In 2002, Lopez and actor Ben Affleck starred together in the film "Outlaw Love", earned the nickname "Benifer" in the gossip columns and announced their engagement.

Four days before they were to come into the marriage covenant they parted, with the main claim being a massive probing and obsessive intrusion of the media into their relationship, which eventually led to its collapse.
In Gemini
In 2004, Lopez married singer Mark Anthony with whom she gave birth to twins Max and my mother who were born in 2008. In 2011 they announced their separation.

The dance is back
In 2011, just four months after the divorce from Anthony, Lopez's name was already romantically linked to that of backing dancer Caspar Smart.
She mixed business and pleasure when she appointed him the artistic director of her show in Vegas.

In 2014, they ran into a serious crisis that led to a breakup, after Caspar reportedly betrayed Lopez.
Despite this, the two continued in an on-and-off relationship for about two more years, until their final separation in 2016.
Bling Bling style relationship
In 2016 Lopez and successful rapper Drake first met behind the scenes at her show.
In January 2017, people close to the two confirmed that they were indeed a double item.

Despite grandiose gestures of love, which also included a private ball that Drake organized for Lopez at church, the two broke up in February of that year.
A heartbeat
Lopez did not stop believing in love even after so many unsuccessful attempts, and in 2017 began dating the famous baseball player Alex Rodriguez.

After two years of affair (with the obvious dose of rumors of infidelity and relationship difficulties), the two announced their engagement in 2019.
In April 2021, after postponing their wedding several times courtesy of Corona Restrictions Constraints, the two announced the cancellation of the engagement and separation.
"Benifer": The comeback
Nearly two decades since they broke up, Cupid found in Boydem the arrow that had previously fired in the direction of Jenny and Ben, and made sure to sharpen their broken hearts on him again.
Although semi-officially rumors of the renewed partnership were only confirmed in May this year, sources say Lopez and Affleck had already warmed up in romantic correspondence months before she finally closed the basta with Rodriguez.

Since then the two have been documented on a number of sticky exotic vacations, meeting the kids, and rumor has it even started looking for a shared home.
The icing on the cake: Affleck was recently documented at the prestigious jewelry store Tiffany's, expressing great interest in engagement rings.
