After the divorce, Canseco was linked to worldwide known singer Jennifer Lopez. Lopez was rumours to have cheated on her fiancé, Alex Rodriguez, with Canseco, but the gossip turned out to be false.

Portions of Jessica’s autobiography were even featured in Playboy magazine, as a cover story for their September 2005 publication. She also appeared in “Entertainment Tonight” and “Good Morning America” to promote it.
