Breaking News: Too Much Heartbreaking As Jennifer Lopez Experience From ‘I Do’ to ‘I Don’t’: Inside Her 4 Failed Marriages… See more
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
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.
“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,'” he said in an episode of Where Are They Now?.
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.
“I was very young the first two times I tried to get married. I would say try to get married,” Lopez said, explaining she would not like to “count” those marriages since they were short.
She 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.”
Lopez married Marc Anthony in 2004, months after they began their whirlwind romance in September 2003. Her memoir, True Love, claimed that he predicted their marriage as soon as they saw each other in 1998.
“One day you’re going to be my wife,” Anthony said, according to the book.
They welcomed two children during their marriage.
