Ain’t It Funny? Jennifer Lopez has made her personal life an open book … literally. The “Booty” singer, 45, has penned a new tell-all memoir, True Love. In it, she recounts the first time she met singer and third husband Marc Anthony back in 1998.

While his words proved prophetic, Lopez dated several other men before tying the knot with Anthony in 2004. In 1998, the pop diva divorced her first husband Ojani Noa. She then moved on to rapper and producer P. Diddy before marrying backup dancer Cris Judd in 2001 for less than nine months before divorcing. Her most famous romance, however, came in 2002, when she fell in love with and got engaged to actor Ben Affleck, sparking the nickname “Bennifer.”
