Famously involved in a number of high-profile relationships, Jennifer Lopez has now achieved her happily ever after. Lopez has four marriages under her belt; her most recent union was with Ben Affleck.
From Marc Anthony and Sean “P. Diddy” Combs to Drake (?!) and her renewed love for her This Is Me…Here is J. Lo’s whole dating history for your perusal, muse Ben Affleck.
1. Ojani Noa
The Selena singer married the producer in February 1997, but their marriage lasted only 11 months before they divorced. In August 2007, a court-appointed arbitrator ordered a permanent injunction prohibiting Noa from “criticizing, denigrating, casting in a negative light, or otherwise disparaging” his ex-wife. Noa then appeared on Millionaire Matchmaker in 2016.
2. Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs
Lopez began dating the hip-hop entrepreneur in 1999 after meeting on the shooting of a music video, but the relationship ended in 2001. In a 2003 interview with Vibe magazine, the Maid in Manhattan actress said Diddy was unfaithful during their relationship.
In 2017, the former rapper waxed poetic over Lopez, declaring she was “without a doubt” one of his greatest loves. The former couple is still amicable, embracing each other warmly backstage at her Las Vegas residency, All I Have, in September 2018.

3. Cris Judd
The Monster-in-Law actress met the dancer on the shoot of her “Love Don’t Cost a Thing” music video, and the couple married in September 2001. The couple’s marriage ended in June 2002, and their divorce was formalized in 2003.
4. Marc Anthony
Lopez and Anthony exchanged twins, Max and Emme, in February 2008 following their June 2004 wedding. Nevertheless, their separation was declared in July 2011. Subsequently, the Enough actress revealed that she “immediately realized [their marriage] was not the best decision,” telling W in April 2016, “Forgavation was not an easy task after my marriage ended.”
I had not achieved the desired outcome, and it would have been simpler to exacerbate feelings of resentment, disappointment, and wrath. However, that Marc is the biological father of my children will never change. As a consequence, I am compelled to exert effort in reparation. “And that is without a doubt the most arduous task that I undertake.”
5. Beau ‘Casper’ Smart
In November 2011, just four months after her breakup with Anthony, the “Dinero” vocalist began dating the backup dancer.
Smart was subsequently appointed creative director of Lopez’s All I Have residency in Las Vegas. In 2014, a stumbling block occurred between the former flames when the gossip website The Dirty claimed to have proof that Smart had been communicating and exchanging photographs with a transgender model. Although they parted ways in June of that year, they maintained an intermittent relationship until their permanent separation in 2016.
6. Drake
Lopez first encountered the “God’s Plan” rapper backstage in December 2016, subsequent to his attendance at her All I Have tour. A source informed Us Weekly in January 2017 that the two were romantically involved and “the real deal.”
Drake reportedly decorated an L.A. church for a sham winter wonderland-themed gala where the couple was “crowned” king and queen during their courtship. Nevertheless, Us announced their separation in February of that year; a source informed Us at the time that their fleeting relationship “died down a bit” following the “Nice for What” singer’s European tour.
7. Alex Rodriguez
Lopez and the former Yankee declared their engagement in March 2019, following a courtship that spanned over two years. These two individuals were initially associated in February 2017. In March 2021, Us confirmed that the couple was “working through some things” in response to rumors that they had separated and canceled their two-year engagement.
8. Ben Affleck
They became engaged in November 2002. The Justice League star and Lopez, who was infamously dubbed “Bennifer” by the press, met while filming Gigli. The couple announced their separation in January 2004 after canceling their wedding four days before the ceremony.
