Highlights
- Ojani Noa, Jennifer Lopez's first husband, is now an actor, model, presenter, entrepreneur, writer, producer, and personal trainer, and lists an OnlyFans page on his Instagram profile.
- Lopez's second, lesser-known marriage to backup dancer Cris Judd, lasted from 2001-200
- Despite her high-profile relationships, Lopez rarely mentions her first two husbands, and Noa's only connection to her now is as a footnote explaining who Affleck is.
When Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck got back together after several years apart, many people were excited to see the couple rekindle their romance. After all, even though their relationship failed the first time they were together, it seems so far that second time is the charm.
On the other hand, Lopez has often seemed to be completely over her other past relationships. For example, Lopez once took a brutal shot at her ex-husband Marc Anthony, who also is the father of her children.

On top of Lopez seemingly being completely over her most recent ex-husband, the other two men she walked down the aisle with earlier in her life seem to be far behind her. A perfect example of this is the fact that Lopez does not talk about her first husband anymore.
On the other hand, after Lopez walked down the aisle with Affleck, her first husband, Ojani Noa, notably predicted their marriage would not last. With that in mind, it begs an obvious question, what is Noa's life like now that he and Lopez have been divorced for years?
Updated on June 23, 2023: Ojani Noa is loving his life, even though Jennifer Lopez is no longer a part of it. Thanks to his social media, we can tell he enjoys spending plenty of time outside, whether he is traveling, swimming, or golfing. Noa is also adding more credits to his resume as an actor, with two new titles in the works. Mirame Asi is a film that was just recently completed but has yet to be released, and Motel is currently in pre-production.
Who Are Jennifer Lopez's Two Forgotten Husbands?

While Lopez has been involved with many stars over the years, she married a pair of anonymous men earlier in her life.
Back in 1997, when Lopez's Hollywood career was really starting to take off, she married a man named Ojani Noa in February. Completely unknown to the masses when he met Lopez, Noa reportedly was a waiter at the time.
Of course, Lopez and Noa's marriage was not meant to last. Just short of a year after Lopez and Noa walked down the aisle, their marriage ended in January 1998.
A few years after Lopez's first marriage ended, she surprised many people when she yet again married an unknown man in 2001. Always referred to as Lopez's former backup dancer, her second husband was a man named Cris Judd.
After Lopez and Judd got married in September 2001, they broke up in May 2002, and they finalized their divorce in January 2003.
Where Is Jennifer Lopez's First Husband Now?
After Jennifer Lopez and Ojani Noa's marriage ended, most people seemed to forget that he existed at all. In fact, the only reason that Noa tends to come up now is to explain why Ben Affleck is Lopez's fourth marriage.

Of course, just because most people forgot about Ojani Noa does not mean that he has not had an interesting life since his marriage to Lopez ended.
Unlike his ex-wife, Noa has never remarried, according to reports. On the other hand, there is one thing that he seems to have in common with Lopez: he is multitalented.
On Instagram, Noa lists himself as an "Actor/Model, Presenter, Entrepreneur, Writer, Producer, Personal Trainer." As far as Noa's acting credits, IMDb lists his credits as Rappin-n-Rhyming, Vendetta: No Conscience, No Mercy, and some stunt work in the 2022 video Celebrity Boxing Miami Pay Per View. Noa's sole producing credit on IMDb is for a title called Eye See Me.
Based on all the videos of himself in the gym that he posts, Noa's main profession seems to be that he is a personal trainer.
Whether Noa considers himself to mainly be a personal trainer or not, one thing is very clear: he has stayed in very good shape, and he is trying to make money off that. After all, Noa's Instagram profile includes a link to his OnlyFans page.
Long before Noa adopted so many careers, he was a 15-year-old who fled an oppressive Cuban regime on an inflatable boat. Clearly grateful for the life he now has in America, Noa paid tribute to his adopted homeland on social media after he became a citizen.
"Finally: After 30 years and 2 attempts and many obstacles, many ups and downs I can PROUDLY said that I’m officially an AMERICAN CITIZEN."
"1- I want to thank the USA 🇺🇸for giving me the greatest opportunity to live in FREE COUNTRY. The land of opportunity, the land of the brave, the land of FREEDOM. I’m deeply happy and greatfull that after 30 years I can said “IM AN AMERICAN CITIZEN. Proud to be an American where at least I know I’m FREE. There ain’t no doubt I Love This Land. GOD BLESS THE USA."
He finished it off with a message to all: "Don’t Ever Give up."
