When it comes to celebrities and their ever-happening love lives, Jennifer Lopez is probably one of the most talked of in Hollywood. Now enjoying married life with beau Ben Affleck, JLo has had her fair share of heartache. And recent events have brought the famed actress’s troubled past back into the limelight.
Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs, Lopez’s ex-boyfriend has had his homes in Los Angeles and Miami raided by the Department of Homeland Security due to multiple cases of s*xual assault against him. This, combined with what JLo has said about some of her past relationships in her documentary titled, The Greatest Love Story Never Told, has opened a can of worms.
Was Diddy Jennifer Lopez’s Abusive Ex?
The famous rapper Diddy, who was in a relationship with Jennifer Lopez in the initial days of her musical career has been accused of assault. The actress has previously shared her relationship with the rapper in detail.
There’s been some discourse on her being abused or manhandled in some of her previous relationships. The actress herself has spoken up about feeling she was being “thrown around” and “manhandled” by boyfriends in her documentary (via The Mirror). However, she chose against name-dropping the person.
JLo has recently cleared Diddy’s name from such allegations. As per an insider report published by The Daily Mail (via The Mirror), Lopez was referring to a different ex-boyfriend and not Combs. However, the Maid in Manhattan actress has revealed that the Bad Boy For Life rapper was the first man to ever be unfaithful to her in a romantic relationship (via The Mirror).
Diddy: The First Man To Cheat On Jennifer Lopez
Lopez started dating Sean Combs in 1999. After being in a highly talked about relationship for a few years, the couple decided to go their separate ways in 2001. Speaking to Vibe Magazine in 2003, JLo spoke the tale of Combs’ infidelity towards her. She said (via The Mirror):
“It was the first time I was with someone who wasn’t faithful. I never caught him but I just knew. He’d say he was going to a club for a couple of hours and then never come back that night.”
This experience, the actress said, took a toll on her. She said (via The Mirror):
“I was totally crying, crazy and going nuts, it really took my whole life in a tailspin.”
In the end, love prevails. Having gone through so much heartache and pain, from abusive relationships to infidelity to a broken marriage, JLo finally found happiness with husband Ben Affleck. Her history with Affleck dates back to the early 2000s, but unfortunately, fate did not want the two lovers to unite just yet; fast forward to 2021 when they rekindled their romance and got married in 2022.
