While reflecting on their split, Noa hinted at Combs’ role in the background of their relationship, sparking questions about the early days of Lopez’s career.

Jennifer Lopez’s ex-husband Ojani blames Diddy for their divorce
Jennifer Lopez’s first husband, Ojani Noa, recently attributed part of their divorce to her connection with Sean “Diddy” Combs.
Speaking on Despierta América, Noa explained that their brief marriage began to unravel when Lopez collaborated with Combs on her debut album, On The 6. He claimed that the growing distance during this time contributed to their marital challenges. The influence of Combs also played a significant role in their difficulties (via Page Six).
Noa elaborated on the difficulty of maintaining a relationship while Lopez’s career took off, revealing that he felt deceived as she divided her time between Miami and New York while he managed a restaurant in Los Angeles. He noted that while he tried to visit her, the physical and emotional separation reportedly fueled misunderstandings. The translated interview from Spanish suggests there may be nuances lost, which could affect the full context of Noa’s statements.
Additionally, Noa asserted that his career suffered post-divorce, alleging Lopez took steps to prevent him from securing work in television and other industries. He expressed frustration, claiming she had fabricated accusations against him that influenced potential employers. Despite these allegations, Lopez has not publicly addressed her ex-husband’s claims about Combs or the impact on Noa’s career.
Lopez and Combs began dating shortly after her split from Noa. Their relationship lasted two years and ended in 2001. Today, Combs faces significant legal challenges, including recent allegations of sexual misconduct, which he denies.
As the public revisits Lopez and Combs’ past, conversations highlight the complications surrounding Lopez’s early career. They also touch on her past relationships and the influential figures involved.
