Singer and actress Jennifer Lopez has been in the headlines due to divorce rumors between her and her husband Ben Affleck, as well as her past relationship with controversial rapper Sean P. Diddy. The actress’ personal life has been cause for a lot of speculation as rumors of her marriage have been making the rounds.
Lopez had a two-year relationship with P. Diddy which began in 1999 and was highly publicized due to their arrest in the same year. Though she has expressed her love for the rapper, Lopez mentioned that she was initially taken aback when he said, ‘I love you’ to her very early in their courtship.
Jennifer Lopez Was Surprised At Sean P. Diddy’s Confession
Sean P. Diddy Combs has been facing multiple charges of s*xual assault, with his properties being searched by authorities earlier this year after allegations of s*x trafficking (via Times Now World). The rapper has been on the bad side of the law multiple times and has courted controversy over the past few years.
His constant legal troubles have led to his past being brought up, which included a two-year relationship with pop star Jennifer Lopez. The two artists reportedly met during the music video of ‘If You Had My Love’ and then began dating. The two also made headlines when they were arrested at a club in 1999 (via NYT).
While the couple eventually broke up, Lopez revealed in an interview that she was surprised by how close Diddy had gotten after only a short courtship. She said (via The Source),
Immediately, he let me know that he liked me, right away. He was like, ‘I love you.’ I was like, ‘What? OK.’ It was just very fast. But we did have a connection. We were both very ambitious and both kind of had the same ideas about our careers. We loved working, and we wanted to do great things.
The actress and singer also mentioned that he acted as a mentor to her at the early stages of her career as he had extensive knowledge of the music industry.
Jennifer Lopez Mentioned That She Loved Sean P. Diddy But They Had Different Ambitions
Jennifer Lopez has been vocal about her relationship with Sean P. Diddy on multiple occasions and has spoken about their incompatibility before. The two reportedly broke up due to Diddy’s infidelity and his ‘lingering feelings’ for his on-and-off partner Kim Porter (via The Source).
Lopez and Diddy broke up after two years of dating but the On the Floor singer mentioned in an interview that she loved him but they had different ideals for life. She said (via The Source),
We just didn’t have the same kind of ideals about life, and family, and stuff like that. It just wasn’t a good relationship for me. It didn’t have so much to do with him as it had to do with me at the time. I had to learn to care about myself a little bit more and put up certain boundaries of what I would accept and what I wouldn’t accept. Really, he was just being himself.
Lopez would go on to marry Cris Judd, Marc Anthony, and most recently Ben Affleck.
