J. Lo’s First Husband Isn’t Convinced Her Marriage to Ben Affleck Will Last

When it comes to marriage, this isn't Jennifer Lopez's first time at the rodeo, and one of her ex-husbands is sharing his two cents on her newest nuptials.
Two weeks after Bennifer officially tied the knot, the actress’ first husband, Ojani Noa, wished them well while sharing his own thoughts regarding if they'll actually be able to make it last "forever."
"I wish her and Ben the best, but I’m not convinced it will last," the Cuban actor and personal trainer, who was married to Lopez from 1997-98 told the Daily Mail in an interview published Saturday. "Jen loves being in love but she’s been engaged six times. Ben is husband number four. I was husband number one and she told me I was the love of her life. When we lay in bed on our wedding night, she said we would be together forever," even divulging that the star later told him she knew the first night they met she was going to marry him.
Noa expressed happiness for the newlyweds, but added that he thinks she’s "someone who will be married seven or eight times."
"I can’t see her ever settling down with one person," he admitted. "She pushes herself to constantly go forward in her professional life, which is why she’s had a three-decade career, but she also moves on in her private life."
An obvious hopeless romantic, J. Lo—now officially Jennifer Affleck by law—was also previously married to Cris Judd, then Marc Anthony, with whom she shares 14-year-old twins, Max and Emme. Last year, she broke off her engagement to baseball star Alex Rodriguez.
Apparently, the Marry Me actress has a way of making her guys feel super special, as her ex recalled often feeling like "Mr. Cinderella" while they were together.
Noa continued to go down memory lane, admitting that their relationship eventually became complicated by what he referred to as the "parasites who feed off celebrities" as she rose to instant super-stardom after the March 1997 release of Selena. "She went from Jen to being J. Lo, this big business bringing in millions," he said, noting that they fell in love when she was already famous, but that her fame catapulted to new heights during their marriage.
"For years, it was too painful to talk about. I wanted to lie low and live my life. But when I saw she got married to Ben, who is a good guy, the feelings came flooding back," Noa expressed.
Lopez and Affleck were previously engaged in 2002 before splitting up two years later. The couple rekindled their romance last year before deciding on a Las Vegas wedding in July after a three-month long second engagement.
Whatever is in the cards for these two, we're keeping our fingers crossed for J. Lo on her fourth marriage journey!
