Jennifer Lopez's ex husband Ojani Noa doubtful of her marriage with Ben Affleck

Talk about some unsolicited weighing into a discussion, and Ojani Noa falls on that list. For context, Noa — a waiter then — was married to Jennifer Lopez for 11 months, from February 1997 to January 1998. Not even a month has passed since Lopez and Ben Affleck's wedding in July, and Noa made some rather confounding and controversial statements. He told the Daily Mail that his former wife "loves being in love."

Noa talked about how Ben is the fourth husband and that Lopez has been engaged six times. He also talked about being the "first husband" and how she told him that he was the love of her life.

On their wedding night, Lopez told Noa that they would be together forever. That forever lasted less than a year. Noa blamed the end on "parasites who feed off celebrities." Not wanting to come off as too salty, Noa did say that he wished the best for Ben, but he is not convinced that the union will last.


He said that he thinks Lopez will marry at least seven or eight times and never sees her settling down with one person. Her constant drive to keep pushing her professional boundaries can act as a deterrent to her private life, or that is what Noa thinks.

It's noteworthy that things between Lopez and Noa didn't end on a high. Previously, Noa was denied permission — via court cases — to publish a book that talked about their short-lived marriage by using private honeymoon footage in a documentary.

Lopez and Affleck were married on July 16 in Las Vegas. Before their marriage, the couple was in a relationship from mid-2002 to early 2004. After crossing paths on several occasions in 1998, the pair's major meeting was on the sets of Gigli. The relationship was highly publicized and given the portmanteau "Bennifer," the first of its kind in tabloid branding of celebrity couples.

They were engaged to be married in September 2003, but "excessive media attention" forced the wedding to be postponed on four days' notice. The pair split in January of the following year.

The newlyweds haven't commented on Noa's thoughts, which is unlikely they will. After all, there's zero negativity in the honeymoon period, and they are living their best life in Paris.
