Jennifer Lopez, known as “Jenny from the Block,” recently got married to Ben Affleck, and her fans have been raving about it.
USA Today reported that the wedding, which took place at Affleck’s home in Georgia on August 20, 2022, was a fairytale wedding that the couple had been waiting for.
Lopez’s previous marriages have been a topic of discussion in recent times, especially her marriage to former backup dancer Cris Judd.
The marriage, which lasted less than a year, saw Judd walk away with a massive divorce settlement.
According to Marie Claire, Lopez paid Judd $14 million to keep quiet about their relationship after their divorce.
Lopez and Judd got married in 2001 after Judd directed her “Love Don’t Cost a Thing” music video.
Their relationship ended after nine months due to the paparazzi’s intrusion, which Lopez found challenging to handle.
Lopez wanted Judd to keep their relationship private, and she was willing to pay any amount to make that happen.
Lopez paid Judd $14 million, which he received in yearly installments to keep his mouth shut about their marriage.
A friend of Judd’s revealed that Lopez “doesn’t want her bedroom secrets splashed across the press,” so the singer had to pay up.
Judd didn’t get the money all at once, and he was only paid if he kept quiet about their relationship.
Lopez doesn’t even count her marriages to Judd and her first husband, Ojani Noa, as actual marriages.
In a 2003 interview with Diane Sawyer, Lopez said, “I’ve been married twice, but I haven’t had a marriage yet,” explaining that it had more to do with her than her former partners.
She added that Judd and Noa were wonderful people whom she loved very much.
Noa, on the other hand, doesn’t think Lopez’s marriage to Affleck will last.
He told the Daily Mail that he believes Lopez will be married seven or eight times and that Affleck is “husband number four.”
Noa’s divorce settlement was a mere $50,000, which may be why he’s not rooting for the newlyweds.
Lopez’s marriage to Affleck is her fourth trip down the aisle, and she’s ecstatic about it.
According to a source, Lopez was reportedly in a rush to marry Affleck because she was afraid he might get “cold feet.”
It’s not the first time Lopez has tied the knot with someone from her past, as she was engaged to Affleck back in 2003 before they called it quits.
Lopez and Affleck’s nuptials have been long-awaited by their fans. Their wedding was two decades in the making, and they finally got the fairytale wedding they wanted.
Lopez is still basking in the afterglow of her star-studded wedding, but it’s clear that her past relationships will continue to be a topic of discussion.
In summary, Jennifer Lopez paid Cris Judd $14 million to keep quiet about their relationship after their divorce, and she doesn’t count her marriages to Judd and Ojani Noa as actual marriages.
Noa doesn’t think Lopez’s marriage to Affleck will last, and their wedding was a fairytale that the couple had been waiting for.
Lopez is happy with Affleck, and her past relationships will continue to be a topic of discussion.
