Years after their breakup, the couple has resurfaced in the news. Jennifer has remained silent regarding Sean ‘Diddy’, who is currently behind bars facing serious federal charges, including sex trafficking and involvement in prostitution.

In September, the music mogul was indicted on three criminal counts, accused of sexually abusing women and coercing them into drug-fuelled sex parties through threats and violence. Sean Combs is set to stand trial for racketeering and sex trafficking on 5 May 2025.

Reports indicate Combs has twice been denied bail, with prosecutors voicing concerns about potential witness tampering.

He has pleaded not guilty to all charges. Amid Diddy’s escalating legal issues, interest in his past relationship with Lopez has reignited.

During their relationship, Sean Diddy and Jennifer Lopez were both at the peak of their music and acting careers.

Their red carpet appearances regularly made headlines, though they never took the plunge into marriage.

Speculation has swirled for years as to why they never wed, with some theories pointing to Diddy’s relationship with his ex, Kim Porter.

Another notable reason is Diddy’s well-known fear of commitment. In a 2018 interview with Andy Cohen, he confessed he could never see himself getting married.
