She met her second husband Chris Judd in 2000 when he was a backing dancer for her ‘Love Don’t Cost a Thing’ music video. The couple had a whirlwind romance and married in September 2001 but things soon fizzled out and filed for divorce just 10 months later in July 2002. Chris Judd has since stayed out of the limelight and been happily married to his wife since 2009.

The singer had known third hubby Marc Anthony for many years before they tied the knot. It wasn’t long after JLo split from Ben Affleck the first time that she married the singer in 2004. The couple were married for seven years and in that time welcomed twins Max and Emme in 2008.

The former couple announced their split in 2011 and have since been co-parenting their children. Marc Anthony is still singing and has appeared in several movies since they split. He has also been married twice (Shannon De Lima 2014-2017 and he married current wife Nadia Ferreira in 2023).

More recently his home in the Dominican Republic caught fire. The house was damaged but the singer nor his family were home so no one was hurt.

As for Ben Affleck, well second time round didn't seem to work out for him and Jennifer Lopez but could he rekindle his romance with ex-wife Jennifer Garner?  According to his IMDB profile the actor is currently working on nine projects so he will most likely throw himself into his work and forget all about JLo.
