Now that Sean “Diddy” Combs is facing legal trouble, his past romance with Jennifer Lopez is back in the spotlight. Diddy opened up about the end of the relationship that led him to go to therapy in an old interview.
Jennifer Lopez has been making headlines lately after her divorce from Ben Affleck, her failed comeback, and her unprecedented tour.
But then Diddy was arrested on multiple sex trafficking and fraud charges, and attention (once again) turned to her past with that man.
Diddy is still awaiting trial, scheduled for 2025 after denying three bail requests amid charges against his past parties by the Feds.
Diddy and Lopez couldn’t have been in the spotlight more since the infamous club shooting during their 1999 to 2001 relationship.
During discussions with the press, Diddy also spoke about how his split from Lopez affected his mental strength and became the main reason why he had to attend therapy sessions.
He says therapy taught him how to deal with personal tragedies as well as some emotional obstacles in his relationships.
Diddy said in the interview, as quoted by Contact Music, “I’ve been called bipolar – I’m not; I just have very strong mood swings,” Diddy shared in the interview.
He continued, “I went to therapy when BIG passed away, but most of my therapy was about love and relationships. I went to therapy about my relationship with Kim [Porter]about my relationship with Jennifer. Therapy helped me get through a lot of those situations.”
A few weeks ago, in 2007, Diddy came out publicly to Essence and claimed that his relationship with Lopez was partly due to him expressing his feelings for Porter, the mother of his four children. He called Lopez “the perfect couple” but admitted he wished their romance would rekindle Porter’s feelings for him.
Meanwhile, a source told Page Six that although Jennifer Lopez knew about the talk about her past with Diddy and their beef, she did not publicly answer any questions about it.
While not linking her to Diddy’s current legal challenges, her interest in their past has attracted the public.
