Office Romance: Shutting Down Brett Goldstein Rumours
Lopez and Ted Lasso star Brett Goldstein were confronted about rumours of a fling, shutting down speculation in a joint appearance on the Today show. Ted Lasso veterans Goldstein and Joe Kelly wrote the Netflix rom-com Office Romance specifically for Lopez and said they wouldn't make it unless she was in it. In the film, Lopez plays Jackie Cruz, a CEO at a major airline, who falls in love with new company lawyer Daniel Blanchflower (Goldstein). Their secret affair puts both at risk of destroying their careers when they "stop playing by the rules and start following their hearts."
Full Relationship and Marriage Timeline
Lopez has been married four times: to Ojani Noa (1997–1998), Cris Judd (2001–2003), Marc Anthony (2004–2014), and Ben Affleck (2022–2025). Her relationships have included high school sweethearts, music moguls, athletes, and actors.
David Cruz (1984–1994): Lopez and Cruz were high school sweethearts together for ten years, from 1984 to 1994. Despite going their separate ways, they shared a close bond.
Ojani Noa — first husband (1997–1998): Lopez met Noa when he was working as a waiter at Cuban superstar Gloria Estefan's restaurant. They married in 1997 but divorced less than a year later. In 2007, Lopez won a lawsuit against Noa, keeping him from publishing a tell-all book about their time together. In 2009, she sued to prevent him from releasing a video recording from their honeymoon.
Sean "Diddy" Combs (1999–2001): In 1999, Lopez began a relationship with music mogul Sean "Diddy" Combs. The couple met during a music video production and dated until 2001. Their relationship endured the pressures of public scrutiny and a nightclub shooting incident in 1999, which brought major media attention.
Cris Judd — second husband (2001–2003): Lopez met Judd when he joined the crew for her "Love Don't Cost a Thing" music video. Their marriage lasted nine months.
Ben Affleck — first era (2002–2004): The media-dubbed "Bennifer" relationship began with a widely publicised 18-month romance from 2002 to 2004, during which they were engaged. Lopez and Affleck co-starred in Gigli and Jersey Girl. They got engaged in 2002, postponed their 2003 wedding with just a few days' notice, and split in early 2004. Lopez described it as "my first real heartbreak — it felt like my heart had been torn out of my chest."
Marc Anthony — third husband (2004–2014): Lopez and the Grammy-winning singer, who had duetted on her debut album On the 6 in 1999, married in summer 2004. During their seven years together, the couple starred in El Cantante, embarked on a joint tour, and in 2008 welcomed twins Max and Emme. In 2011, amidst rumoured infidelity, they separated, and their divorce was finalised in 2014. This remains her longest marriage, a decade that also gave her her only biological children.
Casper Smart (2011–2016): After her split from Marc Anthony, Lopez dated dancer Casper Smart, who was 18 years her junior. The couple started dating in late 2011 and had an on-and-off relationship, including a brief split in 2014. They ended things for good in 2016 after Smart reportedly cheated on her. He notably choreographed many of her performances during their time together.
Alex Rodriguez — "A-Rod" (2017–2021): Lopez and Rodriguez met at a Yankees game in 2005, and she has claimed they felt "weird electricity". They got together in 2017. In 2019, the couple announced their engagement with photographs taken by the beach. The wedding was postponed due to the pandemic, and in 2021, they announced they had broken up.
Ben Affleck — second era, fourth husband (2021–2025): In May 2021, shortly after Lopez's split from Rodriguez, she and Affleck sparked reunion rumours with a trip to Montana. They rekindled their romantic relationship in early 2021 and married in July 2022. Determined to make it down the aisle, they were married twice — first in a drive-through wedding in Las Vegas attended by their children on both sides as witnesses. Lopez filed for divorce after only two years, on 20 August 2024.
