Jennifer Lopez’s first husband, Ojani Noa, says that during their marriage she cheated on him and focused more on fame than their relationship. His public message comes after Lopez’s recent interview where she said she’s never truly been loved.
What Happened?
Lopez, 56, recently appeared on The Howard Stern Show. In that interview, she said that while her ex-partners gave her “everything,” she learned that they were not capable of truly loving her.
Ojani Noa, 51, married Lopez in 1997. Their marriage lasted just 11 months. He responded on Instagram with a strong message:
“Stop putting us down. The problem is not me. The problem is you.”
He accused Lopez of being unfaithful and said she lied to keep up her public image. He wrote:
“You are the one who couldn’t keep it in your pants. … I was honest, faithful to you, never cheated on you.”
He added that she chose fame and fortune instead of him. He claims that’s why he divorced her:
“I couldn’t stay anymore and deal with the constant lying.”
What Noa Claims?
- He says he truly loved Lopez, moved out of state to support her, and put her first.
- He says he was a “good man” in the marriage and stayed loyal.
- He says Lopez “begged” him to stay married to maintain her image.
- He wants her to admit the truth and stop portraying herself as the only victim.
Lopez’s Side
Lopez has not responded publicly to these recent accusations. Her representatives have not commented.
Why This Matters?
This is drawing attention because it contrasts Lopez’s recent claim that she’s never been truly loved with Noa’s counter-claim that he did love her. It brings their brief marriage back into the spotlight and raises questions about how fame, trust, and relationships mix in the spotlight of celebrity life.
What to Know?
- Lopez has been married four times (including to Noa).
- Her other marriages were to Cris Judd, Marc Anthony, and Ben Affleck.
- Her relationship timeline and her comments about love add context to this new controversy.
- Noa’s post is very direct and emotional; it shows deep resentment and frustration.
