Noa was due to appear at the hearing of multi-million lawsuit filed by Lopez alleging that he tried to sell potentially embarrassing home videos from their honeymoon.

Legal papers, obtained by the media states that the warrant will be enforced and Noa will be held by police if he fails to show up for his next hearing in September this year.

The former American Idol judge was married to Noa for just a year and divorced in 1998.

Lopez is now dating backing dancer Casper Smart following her split from separated husband Marc Anthony.
