Diddy will always cherish ex-girlfriend Jennifer Lopez. The rap mogul says he often regrets his romance with the “Jenny from the Block” star didn’t work out.

He tells Playboy magazine, “I met Jennifer and it was a perfect match. We definitely loved each other? We’re still cool. I’ll always cherish her. There are people who come into your life that you’ll always love and respect. She’s definitely one of them.”

“I feel as though we changed each other’s lives.”

The couple spent more than two years dating. They split in 2000.
