Her Marriage and Ex-Husband:

For those of you who have not known about her wedding, she had married investment banker Al Reynolds on November 13, 2004.

When asked for her thoughts on an interview she gave to huffingtonpost.com on 2011, she simply mentioned:

"Several years ago I made an error in judgment by inviting the media into the most intimate area of my life,"

But one of her friends was bolder enough to share her statement in the same interview, she said:

 "Al was never there for Star," "He hasn't made any money in the last three years. He has been living off of her.

Her husband, Al also clarified himself in a statement published on people.com in 2008  in his ‘MySpace’ page writing his side of the story. He had also written:

"What I want people to know is that I am not the caricature portrayed by the media.”

He said ending his post with:

“So ... Please don't try to define me; don't try to categorize me; and most of all, don't label me. Instead, JUST GET TO KNOW ME. And if you see me, just call me Al." 

Jones filed for divorce after she got tired paying Al's bills and according to the media's speculation, Reynold backlashed over corporate sponsorships of their million-dollar wedding. The rumor about him being gay surfaced as other reason behind their divorce.

Where is Al now?

If you are wondering where he is now, then we are not sure. His interview with ‘essence.com’ in 2009 revealed that he was a Professor at the Florida Memorial University. He also laid to waste of his false image as a freeloader and gay rumors in that interview. But Al Reynolds did come out as bisexual in 2017. 

Her Boyfriend and Dating?

The American lawyer has passed the dating phase and is already engaged to Richard Lugo who works in the state attorney office. She went public about her relationship with him back in 2016 during s 8th Annual Children’s Museum in Newyork. The actress introduced Richard has her family member and further added:

“I’m not married, but we’re together.”

The multitalented Star Jones is very straightforward. Much like her revelation about her boyfriend she announced her engagement in the same way.

We’re engaged [and] not talking about it. He’s wonderful. I’m happy and that’s all anybody outside of my family needs to know."

She has already started planning the wedding and even gave a hint of it by posting a whimsical picture on her Instagram.
