A California judge on Wednesday formally ordered the former husband of Jennifer Lopez to pay the singer-actress $545,000 (Rs 2.21 crore) for trying to publish a tell-all book about their relationship.Los Angeles Superior Court Judge Michael Solner upheld the earlier ruling by a court-ordered arbitrator, a permanent injunction barring Noa from disclosing information about their relationship for personal gain, and ordered him to turn over all materials related to the book. The 38-year-old singer-actress married Ojani Noa in 1997 when her career had not taken off. The former waiter is now a restaurant and nightclub manager.The couple divorced 11 months later but still kept a friendly relationship until Lopez fired Noa who managed her Pasadena eatery for six months in 2002.Noa then filed against her a wrongful-termination lawsuit which was solved out of the court. He received a settlement of $125,000 (Rs 50.7 lakh) that mandated he not disclose information about their relationship.But Noa revealed in a January 2006 article in the New York Post that he planed a book titled The Unknown Truth: A Passionate Portrait of a Serial Thriller, which would describe the details during their marriage. He had offered not to publish the book if Lopez paid him 5 million dollars, according to Lopez’s suit.Lopez married her second husband, dancer Chris Judd, in September 2001 and divorced from him the following July. She married New York-born singer Marc Anthony in June 2004, five months after she broke off her highly publicized engagement to actor Ben Affleck.
