Chris Paciello

He’s originally from Brooklyn, New York, and over the years, has been connected to several well-known women like Madonna, Naomi Campbell, and Sofia Vergara. The relationship with J.Lo wasn’t serious.

A Positive Future
After finishing his prison sentence, Paciello worked to change his life. He opened a restaurant called Bianca, located in the Delano Hotel in South Beach, Miami. He told reporters that he regrets his past actions. He’s now focused on building a better life, and he feels thankful to the Miami community for giving him a second chance.
Wesley Snipes
In 1995, Lopez was rumored to be spending time with actor Wesley Snipes. They acted together in the film Money Train, a movie about two transit officers in New York City. Around that time, they were often seen attending events together. This led to speculation that something more might be happening. However, people close to Lopez said that while Snipes was interested, she wasn’t looking to start a relationship with someone older at that stage in her life.
Great Success
