Jennifer Lopez's relationship timeline: From Diddy Combs to Ben Affleck, a look at her previous high-profile romances
Jennifer Lopez has always worn her heart on her sleeve. From glamorous red-carpet romances to private heartbreaks, the global superstar has never shied away from love - or the lessons it brings. Her relationships have often made headlines, not just for their star power, but for the intensity and vulnerability Lopez brings to each chapter of her life.
Here's a look at the many famous names who've shared a love story with the 'Jenny from the Block' singer.
Jennifer Lopez's relationship with Sean 'Diddy' Combs in the late '90s turned heads instantly. They dated from 1999 to 2001, a time Lopez once described as emotionally turbulent. 'It was the first time I was with someone who wasn't faithful,' she told Vibe in 2003. Despite never catching him, she admitted to crying often, knowing things weren't right. Their split became a turning point.
After breaking things off with Diddy, Lopez met backup dancer Cris Judd on the set of her music video. Their chemistry led to marriage in 2001, but the spark fizzled fast. They divorced by early 2003. 'I loved Cris, still love him, he's one of the best people,' Lopez admitted, but said they lacked what it took to make marriage work.
Their love affair began in the early 2000s and was almost derailed by media frenzy. They postponed their wedding in 2003 and split in 2004. But nearly two decades later, fate brought them back together. Lopez and Affleck married in 2022. Sadly, the romance didn't survive the second round. She filed for divorce in 2024. 'She tried really hard to make things work, and is heartbroken,' said a source to People.

Though they split in 2011 and divorced in 2014, they've remained close co-parents and collaborators. 'There's a reason we're not together,' Lopez said in 2017, 'but we're great friends.'
Post-divorce, Lopez dated dancer Casper Smart, rapper Drake and later MLB star Alex Rodriguez, with whom she got engaged in 2019. That wedding never happened. They split in 2021 after trying to make their blended family work.

Billy Bob Thornton says Demi Moore 'didnt remember' they worked together before reuniting for Landman
Washington DC [US], June 16 (ANI): Actor Billy Bob Thornton, who shares screen space with Demi Moore in 'Landman', shared that his co-star Moore could not recollect working with him on the set of Indecent Proposal over 34 years ago, reported People. The Television Academy in North Hollywood hosted a buzzworthy FYC event for 'Landman' earlier this month. The TV drama created by Taylor Sheridan exploded on Paramount in November 2024, becoming the platform's biggest premiere in two years. Starring Billy Bob Thornton and Demi Moore, 'Landman' dives deep into the gritty, high-stakes world of the Texas oil industry, drawing inspiration from the acclaimed Boomtown podcast, as per the outlet. The ensemble cast included John Hamm, Andy Garcia, Jacob Lofland, and Ali Larter. 'Landman' is quickly becoming a cornerstone of Sheridan's storytelling legacy. Thornton revealed more about his multifaceted character, Tommy Norris, during a recent event for the program. He also discussed navigating Hollywood on his own terms, shared that Moore worked with her before reuniting for 'Landman' but she didn't remember it. When the moderator, Stacey Wilson Hunt, asked Moore how she met Thornton, the 62-year-old actress acknowledged to being reminded by her co-star. "She didn't remember me," Thornton revealed. The two first met while working together on the 1993 drama directed by Adrian Lyne. However, Thornton played a small part in the film, so the two became more acquainted years later, reported People. "We got to know each other because I did three movies with Bruce [Willis]," he added. "And you brought the kids to set all the time. So over the years we've known each other." Thornton and Bruce Willis' first film together was Armageddon in 1998. Since then, the duo has starred in Bandits (2001) and The Astronaut Farmer (2006). Moore married Willis in 1987, but they ended up divorcing in 2000. The pair share three daughters together, although Willis went on to welcome two more with his current wife and model, Emma Heming. 'Landman' was primarily shot in the Fort Worth area of Texas, a location familiar to Sheridan. He's used the region as a backdrop for several of his other series as well, including 1883, Yellowstone, and Lawmen: Bass Reeves, reported People. (ANI)
