Jennifer Lopez - five proposals, three weddings and a versatile career
The Latin diva never stops loving and working to achieve the happiness and success she has today.
Jennifer Lopez is one of the most attractive and hottest stars in Hollywood. She was voted "The Most Beautiful Woman in the World" by People magazine in 2011. Jennifer Lopez has a rich love life with many men surrounding her. She has been through three marriages.
In 1997, the singer met Ojani Noa, a waiter at a hotel in Miami. At a party celebrating the end of the film Selena, Ojani Noa grabbed the microphone and proposed to Jennifer a diamond ring on the dance floor. She accepted, the two married that same year but divorced in January 1998. They were still at odds after the breakup, Jennifer even sued Noa when he tried to release a sex tape with steamy scenes of the two.
In 2001, she met dancer Chris Judd while filming the music video Love Don't Cost a Thing. The two married in late 2001 and divorced in 2003.

In 2004, Jennifer made headlines again when she secretly married star Marc Anthony. They had known each other since the late 1990s, before Marc's first marriage and Jen's second. They were considered the ideal Latin couple. In November 2007, they announced they were expecting their first child, later confirmed to be twins. The couple announced their separation in 2011 - a month after their seventh wedding anniversary - and finalized their divorce in June 2014.
In March, when interviewed by James Corden on The Late Late Show, Jennifer revealed that in addition to her three marriages, she had received five marriage proposals but turned them down. Although she did not reveal the identities of each person, Jennifer had experienced many deep love affairs.
She dated high school sweetheart David Cruz for 10 years from 1984, when Jennifer was 15, until 1994. She also dated Puff Diddy from 1999, but they split in February 2001 after he allegedly cheated on her. Their two-and-a-half-year relationship made headlines when they were both arrested in connection with a shooting outside a club in New York, USA in December 1999. Police found a gun in the front seat of their car, leading to Jennifer being charged with possession of a firearm. The charges were dropped after the singer proved she was in the back seat while the car was moving. More trouble and information about Jennifer being cheated on caused them to "go their separate ways".
In 2003, the singer began a relationship with Ben Affleck. The two met on the set of the film Gigli and quickly fell in love, leading to a proposal within a few months. The relationship was publicly dubbed Bennifer. Ben appeared in the music video for Jenny from the Block - a song from the singer's third studio album This is Me…Then. They also co-starred in the 2004 film Jersey Girl. In January 2004, just four days before their planned wedding, Jen broke off the engagement, explaining that she needed to focus on herself and her career.

The relationship between Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck took up a lot of press in the mid-2000s. |
Many people believe that her current boyfriend - Casper Smart - also proposed to Jennifer. The two have been dating since October 2011. Casper Smart is a dancer, 17 years younger than Jennifer (Casper is 29 this year while Jennifer is 46). The age difference does not make them different, but Jennifer looks younger when she is with her lover. They had a breakup but soon got back together. Casper has a lot of affection for Jennifer Lopez's two children.
The Puerto Rican beauty admitted that she still thinks about getting married again. "We fell in love, broke up, got back together. I still think about getting married and having a long life with someone. I love The Notebook. My dream is to grow old with someone," she told W magazine in April.
Career never stops
Jennifer Lopez was born into a family of three sisters, living in a small apartment where her mother often encouraged her children to perform their talents for the whole family to see. From the age of 5, Jennifer began learning to sing and dance. After graduating from high school, she attended Baruch College in Manhattan, USA, while working for a law firm to earn money to pursue art. She only studied for one semester and then dropped out to focus on her dream and began auditioning to become a dancer. After being rejected many times, Jennifer was chosen as a backing dancer for many music videos and gained attention after appearing in Janet Jackson's music video That's The Way Love Goes in 1993.

Once noticed, Jennifer began to act. Her first television role was in Nurses On The Line: The Crash of Flight 7, followed by the films My Family and Money Train in 1995. Her participation with Robin Williams in Francis Ford Coppola's 1996 comedy Jack catapulted Jennifer Lopez to stardom. Jennifer's success came in 1997 when she was nominated for a Golden Globe for Best Actress for her return to the film Selena. She became the first Latina actress to earn over a million dollars for a role.
In 1997, Jennifer starred in the horror film Anaconda with Jon Voight - Angelina Jolie's father. The film was a box office success despite receiving negative reviews from critics. She continued to win with Out of Sight in 1998. Jennifer also starred in many films such as The Cell (2000), The Wedding Planner (2001), Monster-In-Law (2005), Parker (2013), Home (2015) and Lila & Eve (2015)...
The fame of the movie brought Jennifer Lopez advertising contracts. With money, Jennifer started investing in music. Her debut album - On The 6 - released in June 1999, reached the Top 10 on the US charts. Songs on the album such as If You Had My Love and Waiting for Tonight were nominated for the Grammy for "Best Dance Recording" and two Latin Grammy nominations.
To date, the singer has released seven studio albums, including an all-Spanish album, Como AmaUnaMujer, released in 2007. The album, produced by Jen's then-husband Marc Anthony, topped the Billboard Top Latin Albums chart for several weeks. Her most recent album, AKA, was released in 2014.
Despite her busy acting and singing career, Jennifer Lopez has founded her own production company, Nuyorican, named after her half-New York, half-Puerto Rican heritage. She also has her own fashion line and perfume brand. With that, she has become one of the most versatile stars in the world. In 2010, the singer was a judge on the 10th season of American Idol. Jennifer is in the Top 10 richest singers in the world with a total asset of 315 million USD.
Beautiful, rich, talented, happy with a young man and two children, at the age of 46, Jennifer Lopez is one of the most admirable female artists in the world.
