Newsypeople – In a recent interview, Jennifer Lopez’s ex-husband Ojani Noa has made shocking claims about the demise of their brief marriage. Noa, who was married to Lopez from 1997 to 1998, has accused music mogul Sean “Diddy” Combs of playing a role in their split.
According to Noa, Diddy’s involvement in Lopez’s music projects contributed to the breakdown of their relationship. During an appearance on Despierta America, Noa stated that part of the reason for their divorce was Diddy’s responsibility. He explained that when Sony paid Lopez millions for her debut album, Diddy was set to produce several tracks on the record.
Noa revealed that he was busy running his restaurant in Los Angeles while Lopez was shuttling between Miami and New York to work on the album. This distance took a toll on their relationship, with Noa feeling left behind as Lopez’s star rose to new heights.
Their whirlwind romance began when Noa worked as a waiter at Gloria Estefan’s Miami restaurant. They met when Lopez was filming Money Train and Blood and Wine, but he had no idea who she was at the time. Their relationship blossomed quickly, with Noa recalling intimate moments after the premiere of Blood and Wine.

However, as Jennifer Lopez’s fame grew, particularly with her role in Selena, Noa felt his world turned upside down. He claimed that assistants would often tell him Lopez wasn’t available when he tried to contact her, and images of her with Diddy circulated, causing tension in their marriage.
Noa also revealed that Lopez allegedly told him she couldn’t have children yet because it would interfere with her career. He recalled a heated argument when he confronted her about dating Diddy, with Lopez insisting it was just business.
Their marriage ended abruptly, with Noa claiming he was even asked to fake his relationship status during a Chicago interview with Oprah Winfrey in 1997. After their divorce, Lopez went on to marry Cris Judd, Marc Anthony, and most recently Ben Affleck, whom she is currently divorcing after two years of marriage.
Noa’s claims shed light on the challenges faced by celebrities in maintaining relationships as their careers soar to stratospheric heights. While Lopez has never publicly addressed these allegations, Noa’s account provides a unique perspective on the pressures and sacrifices that come with fame.
