Jennifer Lopez is used to seeing her name splattered across social media timelines. But we highly doubt she anticipated the level of chatter she’s getting now thanks to a recent interview she gave about her past relationships — and it’s not looking too good for her!

As you well know by now, throughout J. Lo’s decades long career, she’s been romantically tied to a few men. While we know she dated some famous faces like Alex Rodriguez, Sean “Diddy” Combs and more, she only tied the knot with four men: Ojani Noa, Cris Judd, Marc Anthony, and, of course, Ben Affleck. Despite her lowkey impressive relationship history on the surface, things apparently weren’t going so well.
In a new interview with Howard Stern released on Thursday, the “Monster-In-Law” star shockingly revealed that in spite of all the partners she’s been with –she’s never truly felt loved by any of them.
“What I learned is, it’s not that I’m not lovable. It’s that they’re not capable…They don’t have it in them. They need to appreciate the little person that’s inside of them. They need to love them,” Lopez said.
She continued: “And they gave me what they had! They gave me all of it, every time! All the rings, all the things I could ever want. [They] try to give me the houses, the rings, the marriage, all of it.”
Lopez agreed with Stern when he said that those previous partners didn’t love her and she added on that she didn’t love herself and therefore wasn’t in a space to where she could properly see it.
Naturally, once J. Lo’s words began circulating on social media, countless people were quick to drag the “Maid in Manhattan” star, alleging that she’s been the problem in all her relationships.
“I couldn’t wait to get onto bronx lady. JLo, you refuse to have genuine self-love. You barely allow yourself to experience being single because i can tell you thrive on co-dependency emotionally. That’s why your relationships fall flat,” one user said on X/Twitter.
“Four marriages and somehow they are the problem while you’re the common denominator. Y’all can’t be fr,” said another.
Over on TikTok, one user noted: “At some point you have to ask yourself what is it about ME that I’m allowing myself to get into these types of relationships again and again. It isn’t pretty, but you have to do it.”
Added another: “But why have all her divorces led their ex’s to very successful marriages after her? I see a pattern and it’s okay to admit that it might be you JLO.”
However, there were some folks who came to “The Wedding Planner’s” defense and quickly pointed out just how problematic some of her exes were.
“Ppl will say she’s the problem when these exes include: – a convicted sex offender/criminal, – an insane man a court had to stop from publishing private/illegal content about her, – a mentally ill alcoholic no one said she’s great at picking but the problem is mostly THEM,” one user explained on X/Twitter.
Said another, “She’s right! She was the one who broke up with all of them. She knew better than anybody else who they really are and what they put her through.”
One other user on TikTok explained: “How do y’all not get it? She is taking ownership because she’s admitting she participated in relationships with men who weren’t capable!! And she knew they weren’t! That was her mistake, cuz why would you willingly be in a relationship with a person who can’t love you the way you love them?”
