Jennifer Lopez UNCOVERS the shocking truth: The bizarre and outrageous hobbies of Diddy, featuring some jaw-dropping celebrity names that will leave you speechless
Jennifer Lopez has been in the news lately due to the breakup of her marriage to Ben Affleck. However, the recent arrest of hip hop mogul Sean “Diddy” Combs – Lopez’s ex-boyfriend – has once again put the spotlight on her tumultuous relationship with Diddy in the late 90s – along with a list of all the other celebrity relationships Sean Combs has had with the mogul, friends who attended his “White Party.”
Jennifer Lopez and Sean “Diddy” Combs dated from 1999 to 2001 – between the end of J.Lo’s marriage to first husband Ojani Noa and her marriage to second husband, dancer Cris Judd.
What did Jennifer Lopez say about her relationship with Sean “Diddy” Combs?
Jennifer Lopez was one of many stars who was mentored by Sean Combs in the late 90s and 2000s. They began dating in 1999 and the relationship ended in 2001. The singer and actress has spoken glowingly of Combs in recent years. In a 2014 interview with Access Hollywood, she said that Combs “gave me a lot of advice and taught me a lot,” adding that “there’s still a lot of mutual respect and admiration there.”
According to USA Today, these comments came after Diddy announced Jennifer Lopez as the winner of the “best butt” battle (with another candidate being Kim Kardashian).
But in fact, Lopez’s comments around the time of her split with Diddy weren’t all that positive. In 2003, Lopez confirmed in an interview with Vibe magazine that they broke up because Diddy cheated on her and that the relationship had caused her significant emotional distress.

“It was the first time I was with someone who wasn’t faithful. I was in that relationship with Diddy, I was crying, I was going crazy, I was going nuts, it really turned my whole life into chaos,” she said.
Speaking about her brief marriage to Cris Judd, Lopez said: “After I got out of a very passionate relationship, I met someone sweet, someone who was refreshing.”
In 1999, Sean “Diddy” Combs, then 31, was arrested following a shooting at a New York City nightclub in 1991. At the time, Combs was accompanied by bodyguard Anthony “Wolf,” 21-year-old rapper Jamal “Shyne” Barrows and his 30-year-old girlfriend, Jennifer Lopez.
