Ben Affleck and Jennifer Lopez were in a relationship from 2002 to 2004 after they met on the sets of Gigil in 2001. The relationship created a massive buzz among their fans with tabloids referring them to as ‘Bennifer’. Lopez had filed for a divorce from her second husband Cris Judd when she began dating Affleck in July 2002. Further, they also appeared in a music video together and got engaged thereafter in November 2002 with their wedding slated for September 14, 2003. However, their wedding was postponed with notice because of ‘excessive media attention’. As the duo split up, later on, Lopez revealed that media attention was one of the parting reasons. After a long break from each other, the duo has started dating again in April 2021.
