Jennifer Lopez once famously sang "My Love Don't Cost A Thing." But if you examine the track record of her relationship history, you know that statement couldn't be further from the truth.
Recently, it was confirmed that JLo is indeed once again engaged to be married to her former flame, Ben Affleck. While we wish her good luck, it also seems that now is as good a time as ever to take a walk through the many relationship journeys of Jennifer Lopez.
On Saturday, April 9th, 2022, JLo took to her social media feed to announce that she and former flame Ben Affleck are once again engaged to be married.
Lopez then directed her fans to go to OnTheJLo.com, "It is my inner circle where I share my more personal things, and this one's definitely on the JLo."
"Maybe you can remember a certain green dress," JLo began — a reference to the iconic Versace dress she wore to the Grammys back in 2000.
"It may be a coincidence, maybe not. But as I took a better look, I realized there are no coincidences," the Marry Me star concluded.
The first time that JLo said "I do" was all the way back in 1997. She was wed to producer Ojani Noa and the couple divorced after only 11 months together.
”It was the first time I was with someone who wasn’t faithful,” JLo told Vibe magazine. ”I was in this relationship with Puff (aka Diddy) where I was totally crying, crazy, and going nuts."
JLO and Cris were married in September of 2001 and had already filed for divorce by the time June of 2002 came around.
However, Ben and Jen decided to call off their wedding just four days before they were due to walk down the aisle.
JLo said that she "Questioned if I belonged in this business, thought maybe I did suck at everything. And my relationship self-destructed in front of the entire world."
Even though JLo and Marc Antony remained married for seven years, she told W magazine that she knew very early on that their marriage wasn't meant to be. "It wasn’t the dream that I had hoped for," JLo said remorsefully.
The couple eventually called it quits amid rumors that Smart had been exchanging sexually explicit photos with a transgender model. Despite the controversy, JLo and Smart reportedly hold no ill-will toward one another.
Drizzy wound up sampling JLo's "If You Had My Love" on his 2017 mixtape titled More Life. Their relationship ultimately fizzled out, but not before Drake was able to rap about it on Scary Hours' "Diplomatic Immunity."
However, the outbreak of COVID-19 and the rise of a global pandemic caused JLo to postpone her wedding to A-Rod not once, but twice.
Reports seemed to suggest that A-Rod had become entangled with Southern Charm star, Madison LeCroy. Thus proving the old adage of "Once a cheater, always a cheater."
The couple had seemingly rekindled their romance in celebration of Lopez's 52nd birthday. Although there is no wedding date set as of now, fans are crossing their fingers and hoping that this engagement will be the one that sticks.
