Relationship timeline of Ben Affleck and Jennifer Lopez
Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck fans were overjoyed when the news hit that the two actors got together after nearly two decades in 2021.
The couple first fell in love on the set of Gigli in 2001. At the time, Jennifer Lopez was married to dancer and actor Cris Judd. However, they filed for divorce in July 2002, and soon after, she began a relationship with Ben Affleck, leading to the couple being dubbed "Bennifer."
Ben appeared in the music video Jenny from the Block, the lead single from Lopez's album This Is Me...Then. They also appeared together in the 2004 movie Jersey Girl.
Lopez and Affleck got engaged in November 2002, but in 2003, the actors postponed their wedding due to excessive media attention. The following January, they shocked the fans by breaking off the engagement.
In June 2004, Jennifer Lopez married singer and actor Marc Anthony and gave birth to twins in 2008. On the other hand, Ben Affleck tied the knot with actress Jennifer Garner in 2005, and the couple shares three kids.
Both marriages ended in divorce. Lopez ended her marriage in 2014, and Affleck got divorced in 2018. They dated other people but kept mentioning each other from time to time. Affleck told The Hollywood Reporter about his bond with Lopez in 2012:
"We don't have the kind of relationship where she relies on me for advice, but we do have the kind of relationship where there'll be an email saying, 'Oh, your movie looks great.' I remember when she got 'American Idol.' I said: 'This was really smart. Good luck.' I touch base."
In 2021, after nearly two decades, the couple got together and soon got engaged for the second time. In a 2022 interview with People, Jennifer Lopez talked about their rekindled romance in an interview, she said:
"We both were like, 'Wow, we're so happy and we don't want any of that to come into play again.' We're older now, we're smarter, we have more experience, we're at different places in our lives, we have kids now, and we have to be very conscious of those things. We're so protective because it is such a beautiful time for all of us."
The couple married in an intimate ceremony in Las Vegas in July 2022. A month later, they had a grand ceremony in Georgia.
Separation rumors started spreading while Lopez promoted her movie Atlas and attended the Met Gala by herself in May 2024. After fans spent months wondering what was happening behind the scenes, in August 2024, after their second marriage anniversary, news broke that Jennifer Lopez had filed for divorce.
Lopez and Affleck collaborated on the former's Prime Video musical documentary, This Is Me...Now: A Love Story. Fans enjoyed their playful bickering. Now, time will tell what is next for the "Bennifer" couple.
