The drama surrounding Jennifer Lopez’s love life has taken another explosive turn.
After the singer claimed in an interview that she had never been “truly loved,” her ex-husband Ojani Noa fired back with scathing accusations, alleging infidelity, manipulation, and hypocrisy.
His emotional message has reignited public curiosity about one of Lopez’s most controversial relationships.
Lopez appeared on "The Howard Stern Show" last week, where she made a startling confession that quickly sent shockwaves through Hollywood.
When asked if she’d ever been “truly loved,” Lopez replied, “What I learned, it’s not that I’m not lovable — it’s that they’re not capable. They don’t have it in them!”
The star’s words appeared to reference her ex-husbands and partners, including Marc Anthony, Cris Judd, Ben Affleck, and Ojani Noa.
Lopez elaborated, saying that while her former partners gave her everything they could, it never felt real.
She said, “They gave me all of it, every time — all the rings, all the things I could ever want, right? Tried to give me the houses, the rings, the marriage — all of it.”
However, her remarks didn’t sit well with Ojani Noa, the man who was there “at the beginning” of her career.
What started as an emotional confession from Lopez turned into a public war of words after Noa accused her of rewriting their history.
In a lengthy Instagram post, Noa, 50, directly addressed Jennifer Lopez’s claims, calling her out for dishonesty and playing the victim.
His message was brutally direct, accusing the singer of cheating and manipulating the narrative for sympathy.
“Stop putting us down. Stop putting me down with your victim card. The problem is not us. Not me,” he wrote. “The problem is you. You’re the one who couldn’t keep it in your pants.”
He didn’t hold back, insisting Lopez had indeed been loved, several times over.
He wrote, “You have been ‘loved’ a few times. You have been married four times. And have had countless relationships in between. You’ve had good relationships… Me for example.”
Noa went on to defend his character, describing himself as the faithful and supportive partner she failed to appreciate.
“I was in love with you… I moved out of state to support, protect and care for you. I’m an amazing, loving person, great human being. Honest, faithful to you, never lied, never [misbehaved], never cheated on you. I was good to you. I’m too good of a [man] for you.”
The former model and personal trainer claimed that Lopez’s ambition ultimately destroyed their marriage.
He shared, “You decided to lie, to cheat on me and even though I stayed… You begged me to keep the marriage intact to avoid bad press… But you went for the fast lane of your career/stardom not caring about me, you wanted to continue cheating and lying.”
His message ended with a furious final line, “Tell the truth for once… You should be embarrassed, ashamed of yourself.”
Jennifer Lopez’s interview didn’t just spark outrage from Noa but also reopened discussion about her complicated romantic history.
Her candid admission that none of her past partners had truly loved her came across to some as a jab at all four of her ex-husbands, especially Ben Affleck, whom she divorced earlier this year.
During the SiriusXM interview, Lopez told Stern that her recent split from Affleck had been unexpectedly liberating.
“The divorce was the best thing that ever happened to me,” she said per the Daily Mail. “It really made me journey into — I mean, I had a religious coach, I had a therapist, a couple’s therapist, an individual therapist, I had a coach to understand addiction. I had everything. I was like, ‘I’m gonna f-cking figure this sh-t out if it kills me.’”
The two-time Grammy nominee admitted that for years, she sought love without fully loving herself first.
She said, “And while I was giving my all, I didn’t realize I hadn’t learned to love myself — and the men I was with needed to learn to appreciate the little person inside of them.”
Lopez and Noa’s relationship began in the late 1990s, when she was still on the rise as an actress and singer.
The two met while Noa was working as a waiter at a Miami restaurant and tied the knot in 1997.
Their marriage lasted just 11 months, ending in early 1998. Though brief, Noa has often described their relationship as emotionally intense.
Speaking to the Daily Mail last year, he reflected, “I was the first, the pioneer. I was there at the beginning of her career supporting her, dealing with her anxieties and insecurities.”
He added, “I was a really good husband because I believe in marriage. When we divorced, I was heartbroken. I feel when she got what she wanted, I was no longer needed.”
According to Noa, he was the one who ultimately ended the relationship, though Lopez’s team allegedly painted him as the bad guy.
“I never looked at another woman when I was with Jennifer,” he said. “But I felt like I was [being seen as] the bad guy. [Her people] wanted to make her look good because of everything that was coming out – the movie, the album, and they didn’t want any bad publicity.”
Noa claimed he received a $50,000 settlement after their split, a sum that paled in comparison to Lopez’s growing fame.
