Jenny Been Around the Block! Secrets of Jennifer Lopez's FOUR Failed Marriages Exposed — From 'Circus' Nuptials to 'Not Counting' Weddings
Jennifer Lopez's First Marriage to Ojani Noa Was the Shortest
In February 1997, Jennifer Lopez tied the knot with her first husband, Ojani Noa, just months after they met while she was filming Blood and Wine in Miami.
However, their marriage only lasted until January 1998.
Jennifer Lopez's Marriage to Cris Judd Also Did Not Last Long
Lopez moved on with dancer and choreographer Cris Judd following their meeting in Spain when he was tapped to direct her Love Don't Cost a Thing music video.
Speaking with Oprah Winfrey, Judd recalled seeing Lopez for the first time.
During an appearance on Where Are They Now? he said: "So, when Jennifer walks in, I shake her hand and we kinda look at each other — and in my head, I'm like, ‘Oh, my God, I'm going to marry this woman."
They exchanged vows in September 2001 before they called it quits in June 2002.
Judd later broke his silence after their breakup, saying: "Your privacy is breached. You're no longer a normal person. (Our wedding) was a circus. I think several people got arrested trying to climb up a mountain … trying to sneak in. We actually rented the airspace."
What Jennifer Lopez Said About Her First Two Marriages
In a video for her fourth concert tour, It's My Party, the Let's Get Loud singer reflected on her first two marriages and her realizations after going through divorces.
Lopez said,: "I was very young the first two times I tried to get married. I would say try to get married."
She further explained she would not like to "count" those marriages since they were short.
The singer added: "It seems like in this life, you're always surrounded by people, you're never lonely, but it's very lonely.
"So you always want somebody with you. Somebody. And so, I felt like if I got married I felt like I would always have somebody, but that's not how life works. That's not how it goes.
"It's a bad reason to get married, not the right reason, it's the wrong one. The right one is when you find somebody who really makes you better."
