Jennifer Lopez has maintained a level of celebrity over the past few decades that not many A-listers can compare to. She hasn't entirely done this through acting or music. There's one thing that Jennifer excels at that has kept her as a superstar, and it's her public image. No one can deny that what really keeps Jennifer a household name are her star-studded, tabloid-covering relationships.
What gets lost in all of that is real relationships are occurring. There's more to it than where these couples are vacationing at, or what their exact status is at any given moment. Real chemistry happens between these people. One way people show their affection and love is through gift-giving, and Jennifer, as rich as she is, has certainly spent a fortune on her famous exes. Forbes has reported Jennifer's net worth to be $400 million, so she has no reason to keep it frugal. Other than to protect her own heart, maybe.
Here are some things she's purchased for her famous exes, and what things some of her exes have gifted to her in return.
8 Jennifer Lopez's First Marriage With Ojani Noa Ended With The Oddest Gift Of All
Jennifer's first big relationship was her marriage with Ojani Noa. For the majority of the 90s, J-Lo was relatively unknown. She danced for In Living Color, and had many small roles in feature films. However, Jennifer broke out in 1997 due to her starring role as the singer Selena in the classic self-titled biopic. That same year, she got married to Ojani, and the two events cemented Jennifer as a rising star. This couple just couldn't stay out of the limelight.
That was until they parted ways. In 1998, the two got divorced from each other. According to Express, there were rumors that Ojani cheated on Jennifer, which was the cause of their relationship's demise.
It's unknown what Jennifer ever gifted Ojani, but Jennifer's biggest gift received from the relationship would be a court settlement of over $500 thousand. According to Reuters, this was after Jennifer sued Ojani over a book that was supposed to expose Jennifer. Some of the information was deemed as "intimate", and not only did Ojani have to cough up the money, he wasn't allowed to release any personal information about Jennifer.
Since his marriage to Jennifer, Ojani's life has changed in a lot of ways.
7 Ben Affleck Still Has The Watch Jennifer Lopez Gave Him 20 Years Ago
Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck may no longer be exes, but there was a 20-year gap between their first relationship and their current one. Both of them have changed a lot, and seem to be a lot more mature in their dating ways.
However, while their new relationship is a lot more safe and secure than it was all those years ago, they haven't lost sight of their passion. This is evident in the fact that Ben was caught recently out in public wearing a gift watch that Jennifer gave him years ago. The same watch appeared in Jennifer's "Jenny From The Block" music video, in which Ben had a cameo. It's not just some boring watch either - it was a Franck Muller with an embedded Chrome Hearts bracelet.
6 Jennifer Lopez Still Has Her First Engagement Ring From Ben Affleck
After their romance heated up in 2002, it dominated the media in 2003. Ben and Jennifer first got engaged in 2003, and their notorious Gigli movie was released in theaters that year as well. Gigli completely tanked at the box office and was another wasted role from Jennifer's prime. It even resulted in the firing of Jennifer's business team. It may have even resulted in the cancelation of their wedding, which was followed up by their official breakup in 2004.
Despite the disastrous end to a passionate relationship, the two didn't entirely throw everything away. Ben kept Jennifer's gifted watch, while Jennifer actually kept their original engagement ring. It was a pink diamond worth over $2 million.
5 Diddy's Bizarre Wedding Present For His Ex Jennifer Lopez
Before J-Lo dated Ben, she actually saw rap mogul Diddy for some time. They were an iconic couple due to how they dressed, and their relationship was pretty influential for their younger fans.
The weird thing is, despite Jennifer leaving Diddy for Ben, there seems to be no hard feelings at all. Diddy actually planned on gifting Jennifer and Ben a "pair of Rolls-Royces". People magazine reported this back before the hyped wedding was set to take place, so it's both unknown and unlikely that he actually did purchase the cars for them.
4 Jennifer Lopez Does A Lot For Marc Anthony On Father's Day
Jennifer rebounded really quickly from Ben, marrying Marc Anthony the same year she ended things with the Daredevil star. They lasted for a decade and had multiple kids together. The biggest gifts Jennifer has given Marc haven't been anything worth a lot financially. However, they share the gift of twins together. Jennifer celebrates Marc with social media posts every Father's Day, complimenting the male singer on his wonderful parenting.
The couple had a lot of ups and downs throughout their relationship, including a lawsuit from their longtime maid. Marc recently spoke out following Jennifer and Ben's recent wedding, too.
3 Jennifer Lopez Let Casper Smart Keep His Luxurious Gifts
While most of Jennifer's relationships were with men the same age as her or older, Casper was actually 18 years younger than J-Lo. During Jennifer's time with Casper, she gave a lot of luxurious gifts to him. She also has let him keep the gifts despite their unfortunate break-up.
According to E! News, Jennifer bought Casper a custom Dodge Ram truck worth an undisclosed amount of money. In return, Casper actually got Jennifer a cute and personal necklace for her birthday.
2 Jennifer Lopez And Drake Wore Matching Necklaces
After seeing Casper, Jennifer dated Canadian rapper Drake, another man that was rather young for her. The romance did receive some attention from the media. Drake rapped about their romance in 2018's Diplomatic Immunity, and was set to feature Jennifer on his 2017 album before they quietly broke up.
Drake and Jennifer bought matching $100 thousand Tiffany necklaces when their love was at it's peak. Around that time, Rihanna actually unfollowed J-Lo on Instagram - perhaps from being outright jealous.
