Ben Affleck and JLo’s Storied Romantic History
If Affleck and Lopez do end up getting a divorce and officially separating, it wouldn’t be the first time that they went through a breakup. The pair has a long and storied romantic history that dates back over 20 years.
Back in late 2001, Affleck and Lopez became friends on the set of “Gigli”, a movie that they co-starred in. A few months later in July 2022, they began dating. It was a highly publicized relationship and “Bennifer” was all over the news throughout their relationship.
They dated for a few years and actually were engaged in late 2002. However, they eventually called off the engagement and ended the relationship. According to Lopez, one of the reasons why they split is that Affleck was uncomfortable with the media attention and scrutiny.
Despite the breakup, Affleck and Lopez remained friends and often spoke highly of one another in the press. After his divorce from Garner, the two eventually rekindled their romance and got back together in April 2021, which is around 20 years after they first started dating.
