Cris Judd and Jennifer Lopez: JLo Former Husband Says it Was 'Love at First Site' [VIDEO]
It's been almost a decade -- and two husbands -- since Jennifer Lopez was married to her second husband, Cris Judd. But that doesn't mean that the former backup dancer can ever stop talking about her!
During a recent episode of "Oprah: Where Are They Now?", Judd sat down with the iconic talk show host to discuss his brief, but passionate, marriage to the "If You Had My Love" singer and former "American Idol" host, who is currently in a relationship with Casper Smart.
Judd said that their relationship began when they met on the set of Jennifer's video for her hit song, "Love Don't Cost A Thing." "So when Jennifer walks in, I shake her hand and we kinda look at each other -- and in my head, I'm like, 'Oh my God, I'm going to marry this woman,'" he said.
Even though their subsequent marriage would play out in the press, Judd said that when they first began dating, he kept it on the low. "Whenever we would leave a place we would leave separately," he said. "I guess the first introduction to me being with her was when we were at the Oscars. It was just bedlam. I've never seen so many people concentrated in one place, especially cameras. I knew she was there to do a job, and so I was just that guy who was just by her side."
When the duo got divorced nine months later -- Jennifer was the one who filed, citing "irreconcilable differences" -- Judd said that despite the blame being placed on Lopez's "Gigli" co-star Ben Affleck (a blame, he said, was due in no small part to his father saying as much to the press, which caused their year-long alienation), he refused to discuss their relationship in the press. "During the time when we were separated and we were going through divorce, I was getting a lot of calls to interview and naturally, everyone wants to know the dirt about your marriage and what went wrong," he said. "And I never wanted to do that because that's no one's business."
