Ben Affleck and Jennifer Lopez’s romance started nearly two decades ago. The two first met in 2001 on the set of Gigli, a rom-com that was released in 2003. There were rumors that the two are dating and Jennifer Lopez was cheating on her then-husband, Cris Judd. As things worked between them, the two got engaged in November 2002 and went public with their relationship after the singer left her husband. However, things took a turn as Bennifer, a term coined by the fans for the two, later decided to call off their engagement after dating for roughly two years.

Reports say that the romance between Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck began on the sets of Gigli when the singer was still married to Cris Judd. The affair went on for two years until JLo filed for a divorce from her then-husband. Ben Affleck got engaged to the singer in November 2002 and she got legally separated from Cris Judd in January 2003. Although she denied any cheating allegations, it’s hard to believe that the singer was not disloyal to Cris Judd. Cris Judd’s father even bashed the singer claiming that she was unfaithful to his son.

The two then got married in July 2022 in Las Vegas and jetted off to Paris for their honeymoon with their kids. They didn’t stop there as they decided to get married again in the presence of their family and friends at Ben Affleck’s Georgia estate in August. The singer reportedly planned out the whole wedding herself, from the decorations to the dresses, she picked out everything. After getting married, the two went to Italy on their second honeymoon. However, sources claim that there are complications in their relationship (again) just a few months after their wedding.
