Jennifer Lopez's alleged infidelity has been brought to light by her ex-husband, Ojani Noa, over 25 years after their divorce.

Noa, who was married to Lopez from 1997 to 1998, was apparently rattled by his ex's recent appearance on The Howard Stern Show, where she said that men from her past were incapable of loving her. The Cuban actor blasted Lopez in an Instagram post on Friday (October 18) and alleged that she had pulled the "victim card."

"The problem [is] not us. Not me. The problem [is] you," Noa wrote. "You the one who couldn't keep it in your pants. You have been 'loved' a few times. You have been married 4 times. And have had countless relationships in between. You have had good relationships.. Me for example."

Noa added that he was "in love" with the Kiss of the Spider Woman star, recounting that he moved out of state to "support," "protect" and "care" for his former wife. "I'm an amazing, loving person, great human being. Honest, faithful to you, never lied, never [misbehaved], never cheated on you. I was good to you. I'm too good of a [man] for you," he continued.

The entertainer claimed that Lopez chose "fame and fortune" over their marriage, which resulted in its downfall. "You decided to lie, to cheat on me and even though I stayed."

Noa also alleged that Lopez "begged" him to keep their marriage intact to avoid "bad press." "But you, you [went] for the fast last of your career/stardom not caring about me. You wanted to continue cheating and lying," Noa wrote. "I couldn't stay and deal anymore with the constant lying, that's why I left you, that's why I divorced you."

Noa ended by urging Lopez to "tell the truth for once" and called her the "problem." "You should be embarrassed, ashamed of [yourself]," he concluded.

Lopez, who divorced Ben Affleck in 2024 after two years of marriage, is on friendly terms with the actor and filmmaker, who she credited with helping her land the lead role in her latest film.

On The Howard Stern Show, Lopez said that her former husbands gave her everything she "could ever want" and called her recent divorce the "best thing" that she's been through. Lopez has also been married to Chris Judd and Marc Anthony, with whom she shares 17-year-old twins. The vocalist was also briefly engaged to Alex Rodriguez.
