Who is her new boyfriend? do you know them?
Ever since she entered the spotlight, Jennifer Lopez's love life has been scrutinized under a microscope.
From her decades-spanning romance with Ben Affleck to her rumored dalliance with Drake, Lopez's list of suitors continues to captivate the public's imagination.
It's a fascination that her ninth studio album This Is Me ... Now and the accompanying movie-musical bolstered.
The singer nods to the many high-profile relationships that preceded and followed her most recent relationship with Affleck, and she also acknowledges her hopeless romantic tendencies. As she says while narrating the trailer for
Ahead, we track all of Lopez’s marriages, engagements, and relationships—from her partnership with singer Marc Anthony to her broken engagement with Alex Rodriguez.
Ben Affleck (2021—2024)
“Did you ever imagine your biggest dream could come true?” Lopez asked in a special edition of her fan newsletter, On the JLo. “Saturday night while at my favorite place on earth (in the bubble bath), my beautiful love got on one knee and proposed. I was taken totally off guard and just looked in his eyes smiling and crying at the same time trying hard to get my head around the fact that after 20 years this was happening all over again, I was quite literally speechless and he said, ‘is that a yes?’ I said YES of course that’s a YES.”
The two officially tied the knot in a surprise Las Vegas ceremony in July 2022. They celebrated the nuptials with a second, more extravagant wedding in Georgia the following month.
At the tail end of that year, Lopez announced the forthcoming release of
Affleck has similarly been open about his adoration for his wife since their unexpected reunion.
“She is incredibly knowledgeable about the way fashion evolves through the culture as a confluence of music, sports, entertainment and dance,” he told
And during a red carpet event, he told Entertainment Tonight, “She’s brilliant and [she] helps me in every conceivable way.”
Unfortunately, their second chance quickly soured into a second break-up. In August 2024, Lopez filed for divorce from Affleck, citing April 26, 2024 as the date of separation. The news followed months of speculation over their marital status, with the two reportedly living under separate roofs and spending much of the summer apart from each other.
Alex Rodriguez (2017—2021)
In a 2019 interview with Sports Illustrated, Lopez reflected on meeting MLB player Alex Rodriguez for the first time at a 2005 Yankees game in New York City: “We shook hands, and it was this weird electricity for, like, three seconds … Three to five seconds of looking at somebody right in their eyes, and getting stuck.”
But it would be over 10 years before the two eventually reconnected and started dating. “I was having lunch somewhere and I saw him as he passed by. Afterwards, I went outside, and for some reason I felt like tapping him on the shoulder,” Lopez recalled in 2017, during a guest appearance on
Throughout their yearslong romance, J.Lo and A-Rod made multiple high-profile appearances together at events like the Met Gala, the Golden Globes, the Oscars, and the Grammys. Rodriguez also accompanied Lopez to her performance at Joe Biden’s presidential inauguration in January 2021.
They announced their engagement in 2019, but plans for their wedding were postponed due to the outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020. Then, in April 2021, the couple announced their split. “We have realized we are better as friends and look forward to remaining so,” they said in a joint statement at the time. “We will continue to work together and support each other on our shared businesses and projects. We wish the best for each other and one another’s children. Out of respect for them, the only other comment we have to say is thank you to everyone who has sent kind words and support.”
At the time, a source for E! News elaborated on Lopez’s reasoning for ending the engagement. “After months of questioning things and fighting, Jennifer felt like she could no longer trust Alex anymore,” the insider said.
Drake (2016)
Lopez was rumored to be dating Drake after the rapper was spotted cheering her on at her “All I Have” Las Vegas residency in December 2016. What followed was a streak of now-deleted cuddly Instagram posts, which included a photo of Lopez lying across Drake’s lap and another snap of the two embracing at a party. “She’s having fun,” a source told
Lopez finally put the rumors to rest during a 2017 interview on The Daily Show. “Let me clear this up,” she said. “I am not with Drake.”
Drake seemed to reference the end of their fling in a 2018 track titled “Diplomatic Immunity,” on which he raps: “2010 was when I lost my halo / 2017 I lost a J.Lo.”
Casper Smart (2011—2016)
Lopez began dating Casper Smart, who worked for her as a backup dancer, shortly after her split from Anthony in 2011. A source told People that the romance with Smart, who is 18 years her junior, was “a fun fling” and “not meant to turn into anything more.” The two developed an on-again, off-again relationship before ultimately calling it quits in 2016.
Although initial reports claimed that the breakup was amicable, an insider later told People that Smart had cheated on Lopez. “She kicked him out because he cheated on her and he got caught,” the source said. “It happened two years ago, and he promised he would never do it again, and once he did, she was done.”
Do not charge your phone battery to 100%. this is the recommended charge level.
Why You Shouldn’t Charge Your Phone Battery to 100%
Most modern smartphones use lithium-ion batteries, which have a limited number of charge cycles (typically 300–500 full cycles).
Charging your phone to 100% every time — and especially keeping it plugged in after it’s full — can shorten your battery’s lifespan over time.
🔋 What Happens When You Charge to 100%
When your phone reaches 100%, the battery is under high voltage stress (around 4.2 volts per cell).
This stress generates heat and chemical wear, slowly degrading the battery’s internal materials.
Over months and years, this causes:
-
Battery capacity loss (it won’t hold charge as long)
-
Faster overheating
-
Possible swelling or battery malfunction
✅ Recommended Charging Range
Experts recommend keeping your phone between:
-
20% and 80% for everyday use
This range minimizes voltage stress and helps your battery last longer.
⚡ Common Charging Habits Explained
1. Should You Keep the Charger Plugged In All the Time?
❌ No.
Leaving your phone constantly plugged in keeps it at 100% charge, maintaining high voltage and temperature, which ages the battery faster.
✅ Instead, unplug once it reaches around 80–90%.
2. Can You Charge Overnight?
⚠️ It’s not ideal.
Modern phones stop charging when full, but they trickle-charge throughout the night to maintain 100%. This means the battery is constantly cycling between 99%–100%, generating heat and stress.
✅ If you must charge overnight, try using a smart plug or optimized battery charging mode (available on iPhone and Android) — it pauses charging at 80% and completes it before you wake up.
3. Can You Use Your Phone While Charging?
⚠️ Occasionally, yes — but not habitually.
Using your phone while charging generates extra heat, as the battery is both charging and discharging simultaneously.
Over time, this accelerates battery wear and may also heat internal components.
✅ If you must use it, remove any case and avoid heavy apps (like gaming or video calls) while charging.
🧊 Bonus Tips for Battery Longevity
-
Avoid exposing your phone to extreme heat (like direct sunlight or car dashboards).
-
Use original chargers and cables.
-
Turn on battery saver mode when the battery is low.
-
Don’t let your phone fully drain to 0% often — that strains the battery cells.
🔍 Summary
| Habit | Safe or Not? | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Charging to 100% | ❌ | Causes voltage stress |
| Keeping plugged in | ❌ | Maintains high heat & wear |
| Charging overnight | ⚠️ | Trickle charge wears battery |
| Using while charging | ⚠️ | Generates excess heat |
| Charging between 20–80% | ✅ | Ideal for battery health |
