LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: Jennifer Lopez's first husband, Ojani Noa, has accused her of cheating on him with Sean 'Diddy' Combs in a new explosive interview.

The actress, 57, and Noa were married for only a year. They tied the knot in February 1997 but ended their marriage in January 1998. In a recent interview, Noa looked back on their relationship and made several allegations about what he claims led to their split.

Ojani Noa says 'everything was great' after marrying Jennifer Lopez

Now speaking with The Sun, Noa has claimed, “She [Lopez] cheated on me with Diddy.”

Recalling the time after their marriage, the personal trainer living in Florida shared, “Everything was great and we were so in love. I was in charge of launching a nightclub in LA called The Conga Room which was part-owned by Jen, while she went off to make her debut album — On The 6 — in New York and Miami.”

“That was when Diddy was drafted in to help produce several tracks. They knew each other way before the media reported they did,” he said.

Noa further alleged that soon his then-wife began “hanging out with Diddy more and more, and I started seeing her less and less. Then the rumours started. I still had a lot of friends working in Miami hotels who would call to say they had seen them hanging out and leaving together.”

Lopez’s first husband noted that she initially denied cheating and claimed to be out with the jailed rapper because of work.

“But then a picture appeared in the US magazines of her sitting on Diddy’s lap at the pool of Miami Beach Hotel. We started to fight really badly as I knew she was cheating on me,” he stated.

Noa also accused the singer’s public relations team of falsely showcasing their marriage as perfect.

Lopez had reportedly told millions of viewers on the 'Oprah Winfrey Show' that she was “happily married.”

“We went to the Oscars and she was using me so she could pretend to everyone that everything was OK. It wasn’t. So we got divorced,” Noa added.

Following their divorce, the 'Office Romance' star reportedly officially started dating Diddy. But the relationship ended two years later in 2001.

Shedding light on those difficult times, Noa told the publication, “It was the year she dumped him. We were still friends and we had decided to start over again. Everyone makes mistakes and deserves to be forgiven once.”

“She had tried to dump Diddy before and he had threatened her and her family. He turned up to her assistant’s birthday party in Los Angeles — which Jennifer had thrown for her — and everyone was shocked,” he explained.

Noa also added that he “went over to him and told him to leave and he told me to back off. Jennifer got in between us. She said he would leave but he didn’t. I got upset with her and at the end of the night she got in his car and left.”

Noa further claimed that a few weeks later, Diddy turned up at Lopez’s house to threaten her.

“She said she was scared and afraid so I instantly left work and came over. As I drove in he started shouting and telling her he knew I was inside. That’s when I fronted him up. Jennifer was on the balcony and told me not to as she was worried,” Noa recalled.

He also revealed to The Sun that Lopez wanted to call the police, but officers reportedly arrived before she did because “a neighbour must have called them.” According to Noa, Diddy left before they could detain him.

“She had said to me before that he could do bad things. But I told him to his face that he was a coward. That’s why he was always with bodyguards with guns because anyone could take him one on one,” Noa stated.
