Cris Judd – who was married to Jennifer Lopez for just nine months – has opened up about their whirlwind romance, saying he found it tough dating the Dance Again singer.
The couple met when Cris was asked to direct the music video for J-Lo’s* Love Don't Cost A Thing* in 2000.
“You know it's very tough. Your privacy is breached. You're no longer a normal person,” Cris explained.
“[Our wedding] was a circus. I think several people got arrested trying to climb up a mountain... trying to sneak in. We actually rented the airspace. You kind of sign up for that, you know?
“You kind of have to take it and accept it and embrace it. Once you stop fighting it, it smoothes itself over. If you try to keep that privacy, it drives you nuts and that's why people break.”
Cris, 45, and Jennifer finally divorced in September 2002 but Cris told Us Weekly the privacy issues weren’t the reason for the breakdown of their marriage, adding: “It had no bearing on the outcome. Unfortunately, it just didn't work out.
“I can't give you the answer as to why her relationships don't work. I think that it's that it is work. It's whether you want to work on it or not. Everyone has baggage and problems. It's whether you want to deal with those problems. When you sign up to get married, you can't just walk away.”
