Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck‘s divorce continues to garner a lot of attention and opinions from the estranged couples, fans, and family. Even JLo’s former husband has a few thoughts and unsolicited advice on the subject.
As Ben and Jen work through the details and stress of their impending divorce, the I’m Real singer’s first ex-husband, Ojani Noa, has some advice for his former wife. Ojani and JLo were married in 1997-1998. Their marital bliss lasted less than a year, and the two parted on hostile terms. However, Ojani feels he gained enough knowledge and experience during that time to offer solid advice to his ex.
Since the two ended their short union years ago, Ojani, like everyone else, has watched Jennifer’s publicly documented love life continue to crash down around her. Now that Jennifer Lopez is approaching her fourth divorce, according to the Daily Mail, Ojani Noa thinks it may be best for her to take a breather.
Noa advises his ex to,”Stay single for a while, take 12 months off. If she meets someone new, maybe keep it private and not get married again. She has an amazing career and she’s a hard-working, beautiful woman, but when you’re with someone, you have to spend quality time with them and not think about being on camera.”
Ojani Noa Understands Ben Affleck Stress With Being Married To Jennifer Lopez
Jennifer Lopez’s ex also understands and is compassionate toward Ben Affleck. He has walked in Ben’s shoes and says you can only pretend so much. Sooner or later, it all comes to light. Noa adds that he feels the same way Ben feels about being constantly shoved into the spotlight.
“I can tell you in my own experience, we would have disagreements in the car and then 20 minutes later, we’d have to sit and pretend everything was fine. But you can only pretend so much,” Ojani continued.
“When we were going through hell and going out as a couple, I was in a bad mood too. Because I knew inside we were not good. I hated going on the red carpet. She would try and get me to come and I’d say: ‘No way. I’m not going to pretend.’”
Over the weekend, Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck were spotted together, sparking fan curiosity. The pair joined together to take JLo’s twins and Ben’s two younger children on a family lunch outing. This is the first time the former couple has been together publicly since announcing their divorce.
Whether or not JLo will follow her first ex-husband Ojani Noa’s unsolicited divorce advice remains to be seen. However, Jen’s previous track record regarding love and marriage, it appears highly unlikely.
