Get ready for a juicy dose of Jennifer Lopez's tumultuous romantic history! The 55-year-old pop sensation has had her fair share of whirlwind romances, dramatic breakups, and rekindled flames. And now, it seems like she's finally done trying her luck with marriage - at least for the time being!

As JLo brought her Up All Night tour to a stop, a fan in the audience caught her attention with a sign that read: "JLo, marry me?" The sassy superstar didn't hesitate to respond, shaking her head and saying, "I think I'm done with that. Yeah, I tried that a few times." Talk about a subtle hint at her complicated love life!

For those who might not be familiar with JLo's romantic escapades, let's take a trip down memory lane. Her first marriage was to Ojani Noa, a producer she met in 1997 while he was working as a waiter at a Miami restaurant. That union lasted only 11 months before they called it quits.

Fast forward to 2001, when JLo married dancer Cris Judd on the set of her "Love Don't Cost A Thing" music video. Unfortunately, that marriage didn't fare much better and was finalized just nine months later in July 2002.

But things took a dramatic turn when JLo met singer Marc Anthony in 1998 while he was performing in the Broadway musical "The Capeman." The two became friends before tying the knot in 2004. They welcomed fraternal twins Max and Emme in 2008, but unfortunately, their marriage ended in divorce in 2014 after seven years of trying to make it work.

In a candid interview with W Magazine in 2016, JLo reflected on her failed marriages, saying, "When my [third] marriage ended, it was not easy to find forgiveness. It wasn't the dream that I had hoped for, and it would have been easier to fan the flames of resentment, disappointment, and anger." She also acknowledged that finding forgiveness took a lot of work, especially since Marc Anthony is the father of her children.

But JLo didn't give up on love just yet! She got engaged multiple times, including to ex-fiancé Alex Rodriguez in 2019. Unfortunately, they called off their engagement in April 2021, and JLo quickly moved on with Ben Affleck - again!

Yes, you read that right! The two rekindled their romance after nearly two decades since calling off their first engagement in the early 2000s. They got married in July 2022, but unfortunately, their second marriage ended in divorce just two years later.

Ben has three kids with his ex-wife Jennifer Garner - Violet, Fin, and Samuel - making JLo's rekindled romance a bit complicated. However, sources close to the former flames revealed that they're remaining friendly for the sake of their children.

In December, a source told TheScholarlyNote.com that Ben and JLo "know they will be in each other's lives because of the kids and are remaining friendly." And at a recent premiere event, Ben couldn't help but gush about JLo, saying, "For the record, Jennifer Lopez is spectacular, great to my kids, great ongoing relationship with them... I love her kids. They're wonderful. She's [an] enormously important, tremendous person with a lot of integrity, who I adore and am grateful to."

And now, it seems like JLo has finally had enough of marriage and is taking some time for herself - at least for the time being! As she navigates this new chapter in her life, fans can't help but wonder what's next for the iconic pop star.
