David Cruz, who dated Jennifer Lopez for about a decade when she was first becoming famous, has died at the age of 51, reports TMZ.

According to the website, Cruz died of heart disease on Saturday, March 21, at Mount Sinai West Hospital in New York City.

Cruz’s partner Isa tells TMZ, “He was kind and loving. He never held on to anything and was always very open. He was a devoted father, he helped raise his step-son who is now in the Marines. He loved the Yankees and Knicks. He loved going to the theatre with me. My favorite moment was family date night because it wasn’t just special for me but for the kids as well. He always made sure to end things with an ‘I love you.’”
