Ali Landry moved to end her marriage to Mario Lopez about two weeks after their April 24, 2004, wedding. Contemporary reports attributed the split to Landry learning that Lopez had been unfaithful; in a later account, Landry described discovering that he had cheated with multiple women. The accounts differ on whether she filed for divorce or sought an annulment, and the sources reviewed do not settle the legal terminology.
Why did Mario Lopez and Ali Landry split?
The commonly reported reason was Lopez’s infidelity. A May 2004 Washington Post item said Landry was seeking an annulment after allegedly learning he had cheated. Its account relied on unnamed friends and sources speaking to Us Weekly and People.com, rather than a direct interview with either spouse.

CBS News later reported that Landry filed for divorce two weeks after the wedding, attributing the infidelity account to a People source. These reports describe what was alleged at the time; they are not independent adjudications of the claims.
What did Landry say about the discovery?
In a 2022 interview on the Unfolding Leadership podcast, Landry discussed the discovery. A 2026 Parade retrospective reproduces her description of cheating involving multiple women, with some relationships lasting one year and others two. Landry called the experience “devastating.” This wording is quoted through Parade’s account of the podcast interview, not from a podcast transcript reviewed here.

How did a six-year relationship end in a two-week marriage?
Lopez and Landry had dated for about six years before marrying on April 24, 2004, at Las Alamandas resort outside Puerto Vallarta, Mexico, according to CBS News. The marriage ended almost immediately: CBS said Landry filed two weeks after the wedding, while the Washington Post’s contemporary report described her as seeking an annulment.

The sources use different legal descriptions. CBS reported a divorce filing; the Washington Post called it a bid for an annulment, as does Parade’s retrospective. Without a court record establishing the precise filing and final disposition, it is safest to say Landry moved to end the marriage rather than treat either legal term as settled.
