Even though Jennifer Lopez has been married four times, the first man she married 27 years ago is still giving her advice. During a recent interview for Daily Mail, Ojani Noa, Lopez's first ex-husband, gave some advice to the singer amid her divorce from actor Ben Affleck.
Noa said that J. Lo should "stay single, 12 months off. If she meets someone new, maybe keep it private and never get married. She has a great career and is a hard-working, beautiful woman, but when you're with someone, you should spend quality time with them and not think about being in front of the camera. I would just say to Jenny: you have to be yourself in order to find yourself.”
Noa, a personal trainer, actor and producer based in Miami, has never been married since divorcing Lopez in 1997.
"I have no bad feelings at all. I will always be her friend. I sympathize with both of them because divorce is difficult." he said.
Noa and Lopez met in 1996 — before Lopez became an international celebrity — while she was in Miami filming Blood and Wine. After filming, Noa was invited by Lopez to a club where their love first blossomed. Almost a year after they met, the two got married and lived together in Los Angeles. But after only 11 months, the couple broke up.
