Jennifer Lopez’s Ex-Boyfriend of 10 Years Passed Away Due to This Serious Health Condition

While the world struggles to cope with the global pandemic, the survivors of David Cruz are also grieving for his loss. If the name doesn’t ring a bell, he was Jennifer Lopez’s former boyfriend for a decade.

David was 51 and he died due to heart disease, the New York City Office of Chief Medical Examiner revealed. Isa, his partner of 18 years, described him as kind and loving and said he was a doting father as well to the children.

Yes, long before Alex Rodriguez came into the picture, the singer was in a relationship with David. In fact, we can say that they were high school sweethearts because they had been together since she was 15.

They had dated in the ‘90s and decided to call it quits just as Jennifer’s career was taking off – starring in the biopic Selena as the titular character catapulted her to stardom. When they were still together, David accompanied the songstress in red carpet events.

The last outing they were pictured together was in 1995 in Culver City, California at the premiere of Money Train, where J. Lo played the role of Grace Santiago. According to reports, David was then a film production assistant.

Other Relationships

After David and Jennifer broke up, she went on to date more prominent names in the industry. In 1997, she tied the knot with Ojani Noa, whom she met at a restaurant where he worked as a waiter.

Their relationship was marred with nasty rumors and later on, it was revealed that they indeed had a bumpy marriage. In less than a year of being Mr. and Mrs., they decided to split, which is why the celebrity doesn’t count it as a legit union.

Then, Jenny from the Block met Cris Judd on the set of the music video shoot for Love Don’t Cost a Thing in 2001 and they immediately got engaged. They shortly tied the knot and as expected, what they had didn’t last long.

The backup dancer said it was hard being married to the star because it put him in the limelight, although he already knew this from the start. While this was the case, Cris said it wasn’t the reason for their split, rather things simply didn’t work out.
