Jennifer Lopez has never shied away from being open about her quest for love.
The 52-year-old actress and singer, who previously described her relationship journey as "very up and down", has been married three times, been engaged twice more, and dated some of the biggest names in Hollywood in between.
Jennifer, whose Netflix special Jennifer Lopez: Halftime is now streaming on Netflix, made it clear she hadn't given up on love, telling Harper's Bazaar in 2018 that she "would love to grow old with somebody in a committed relationship".
Currently engaged to Ben Affleck for the second time, here's a look at Jennifer Lopez's full relationship history.
Ojani Noa
Jennifer Lopez married producer Ojani Noa in February 1997, in what ended up being a short-lived marriage. They divorced only 11 months later.
In August 2007, a permanent injunction was issued forbidding Noa "criticising, denigrating, casting in a negative light or otherwise disparaging" his ex-wife.
Sean 'Diddy' Combs
Lopez started dating hip-hop legend P Diddy, then known as Puff Daddy, in 1999 after meeting on the set of a music video.
The pair split up in 2001, with Lopez alleging in 2003 interview with Vibe magazine that Diddy was unfaithful during their relationship.
Meanwhile, the former rapper only had good things to say about the Selena actress, saying she was one of his greatest loves, "without a doubt."
The pair also seem to be friendly terms, being seen embracing each other backstage at Lopez's Las Vegas residency, All I Have , in September 2018.
Cris Judd
Dancer Cris Judd and Jennifer Lopez met on the set of her Love Don't Cost A Thing music video, tying the knot in September 2001.
However, by June 2002, after less than a year of marriage, they split up, with their divorce being finalised in 2003.
Speaking of why their marriage ended, Judd told Us Weekly: "When you sign up to get married, you can't just walk away.
"Everyone has baggage and problems. It's whether you want to deal with those problems."
Judd has since remarried to Kelly Wolfe, with whom he has a daughter, Vivienne.
Ben Affleck
Famously nicknamed "Bennifer" by the media, Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck met while filming Gigli and got engaged in November 2002.
However, they called off their wedding four days before the event and then split up in January 2004.

Affleck went on to marry Jennifer Garner, with whom he shares daughters Violet and Seraphina, and son Samuel. They divorced in 2018 and by May 2021 Lopez and Affleck had rekindled their romance.

Beau 'Casper' Smart
Four months after splitting from Anthony, Jennifer began dating backup dancer Beau 'Casper' Smart in November 2011. Lopez later hired Smart as the creative director for her Las Vegas residency.
The pair's relationship hit a rough patch in 2014, after gossip site The Dirty claimed it had evidence of Smart exchanging messages and photos with a transgender model.
Lopez and Smart broke up in June 2014, but had an on-and-off relationship till 2016. There doesn't seem to be any hard feelings between the former lovers, with Smart describing Lopez as " phenomenal" during a 2017 interview with Us Weekly.
