Jennifer Lopez's first husband, Ojani Noa, opened up to The Daily Mail recently, sharing his thoughts on his former wife's recent marriage to Ben Affleck. Noa met Lopez while he was waiting tables in Miami after fleeing Cuba as a refugee, and the pair were later married in 1997.

"Ben is husband number four. I was husband number one and she told me I was the love of her life. When we lay in bed on our wedding night, she said we would be together forever," he told the publication.

Noa continued, "I wish her and Ben the best, but I'm not convinced it will last."

Lopez's former husband added, "I think she's someone who will be married seven or eight times. I can't see her ever settling down with one person. She pushes herself to constantly go forward in her professional life, which is why she's had a three-decade career, but she also moves on in her private life."

Four months after he slapped Chris Rock at the 94th annual Academy Awards, Will Smith is attempting to make amends. On Friday (July 29th), the King Richard actor released a video apology to Rock.

"I reached out to Chris, and the message that came back is he's not ready to talk, but when he is, he will reach out. I will say to you, Chris, I apologize to you. My behavior was unacceptable, and I'm here whenever you're ready to talk," Smith said in the YouTube video.

The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air actor shared that he was "fogged out" following the infamous slap—and this is why he didn't apologize to Rock during his acceptance speech for Best Actor.

"Disappointing people is my central trauma. I hate when I let people down, so it hurts psychologically and emotionally to know that I didn't live up to people's image and impression of me. The work I'm trying to do is I am deeply remorseful, and I'm trying to be remorseful without being ashamed of myself," Smith said.

He added that he's "trying not think of himself as a piece of s–t."

Rock continued, "Even me getting smacked by Suge Smith … I went to work the next day, I got kids."

"Enemies of these missions seek to destroy you, in order to delegitimize your voice and purpose. This is not a new tactic…it's as old as history…yet, how easy it is now more than ever to slander people and cherry pick and piece together strands taken out of context, "opinions", or complete fabrications. And how some people believe it or stay silent out of fear."

The couple is currently expecting their seventh child together.
