Jennifer Lopez has opened up about love and relationships in a recent interview, but her remarks have drawn a strong response from one of her former husbands.
When speaking with Howard Stern earlier this month, the singer reflected on her past relationships and the challenges of maintaining love under public scrutiny.
Lopez, who finalized her divorce from Ben Affleck earlier this year, admitted that fame has often complicated her personal life.
She said: “I wanted to share my life with someone, I want someone to be there when I’m having my big, important moments on the red carpet, I want someone to be there when... we’re going to the store, whatever it is.”

During the interview, Stern asked Lopez if she had ever 'truly been loved'.
The 56-year-old answered: “No… 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.”
Lopez added that her former partners 'gave me what they had, they gave me all of it, every time', while acknowledging that she 'didn’t love' herself during those times either.
The comments didn’t sit well with her first of four husbands, Ojani Noa, who shared a heated message on Instagram soon after the interview aired.
The 51-year-old former model, who was married to Lopez from 1997 to 1998, accused the pop star of distorting the truth about their relationship.
In a carousel post, Noa said: “Let me just say, stop putting us down. Stop putting me down with your victim card.
Further, Noa added: “The problem [is] not us. Not me. The problem [is] you. [You’re] the one who couldn’t keep it in your pants.
“You have been ‘loved’ [a] few times. You have been married 4 times. And have had countless relationships in between.
“You had has good relationships… Me for example.”
Noa went on to claim that he had been loyal and supportive throughout their marriage. He continued: “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.”
Noa claimed that he had left his family and career behind to help Lopez pursue her early ambitions, only in the end, she allegedly ‘chose fame and fortune’ over their marriage.
The post ended with: “Tell the truth for once. Let the people know you are the problem. You should be embarrassed, ashamed of yourself.”
