As they were: Jennifer and Diddy dated for two years from 1999
Jennifer and Diddy began dating in 1999 but the high-profile relationship ended two years later soon after they were both arrested over a nightclub shooting in New York.
She revealed in a tell-all interview last year that the incident was one of her lowest moments.
‘That was one of the worst nights of my life,’ she said. ‘It was devastating for me to have lived through that.’
Jennifer also revealed that the relationship was never able to recover, adding: ‘It started out as something very pure and innocent. But it did get ugly – it did get sordid.
‘We did fall in love and we were very close. He became a mentor as well and he really nurtured me.
‘But my relationship with him was always something I knew would end.’
After their split Diddy admitted he was going to find it hard to cope after the break-up.
He said in 2001: ‘Jennifer is somebody I will always love.
‘It’s hard being a celebrity in a relationship. We will meet again some day. My heart is strong.’
And Jennifer and Diddy certainly looked to be amicable as they chatted inside the party.
