J-Lo’s engagement to her high-school sweetheart David Cruz is not well-known (and often missed), but a 2009 biography of her life by James Robert Parish says that they were engaged at some point. Lopez and Cruz began dating when they were 15 and 16 respectively. Their relationship lasted 10 years before they broke it off when Lopez landed her breakthrough role in Selena (1997), according to Complex.
Lopez is also known for her tumultuous relationship with Sean Combs from 1999 to 2001, which included an arrest in December 1999 where they were charged with criminal possession of a weapon at a NYC nightclub in Times Square. The charges against Lopez were dropped within an hour, but Combs was only acquitted of the charges in March 2001, after which the couple broke up.
As for other dalliances, the Atlas actress also had an on-and-off-again fling with backup dancer Casper Smart from 2011 to 2016 and a string of dates with Drake in 2016.
