In 2003, Lopez opened up about her relationship with Diddy (and eventual ex-husband Cris Judd) to Vibe. The article is no longer available on the Vibe site, but it’s excerpted by Entertainment Weekly.
”It was the first time I was with someone who wasn’t faithful,” Lopez told Vibe magazine, according to EW. ”I was in this relationship with Puff where I was totally crying, crazy, and going nuts, it really took my whole life in a tailspin.”
EW reported that Lopez did not deny knocking on hotel doors to find Combs. ”I can’t remember right now, but I won’t say it didn’t happen,” she told Vibe, according to EW. ”I never caught him but I just knew. He’d say he was going to a club for a couple of hours and then never come back that night.”
In that interview, she described why she left Diddy: “I had to think, do I want to be home with kids in 10 years wondering where somebody is at three in the morning?”
She explained that she then met Cris Judd, the backup dancer with whom she would have a short marriage. ”Coming out of a torrid relationship, I meet this sweet person who’s so refreshing,” she told Vibe, according to EW. ”But marriage is not just about love. I thought I had learned that in my first marriage…. I loved Cris, still love him, he’s one of the best people. This wasn’t an easy thing to walk away from, but we didn’t have what it takes to make a marriage work…. Cris knows the last thing I ever wanted in this (expletive) world was to hurt him.”
