On January 7, 2025, it became known that Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck officially divorced. The most discussed in Hollywood love story has come to its finale.
Jennifer Lopez is becoming something like a magnifying glass for her chosen ones: whoever the star appears in public with, he is immediately “dissected” by the media and fans of the singer. A huge army of her fans remember all the facts about her former and potential lovers, and more accurately than Wikipedia. Needless to say, the Internet stores data about Jennifer’s first marriage, concluded in 1998 with former waiter Ohani Noa?
Naturally, Lopez’s romance with Ben Affleck is still being discussed on the web. Not only because their couple – Bennifer – has become one of the most popular in the world show business, but also because of their unexpected reunion, which is happening before our eyes. After breaking up with Alex Rodriguez, the singer promptly married Ben Affleck, but it seems that it was a bad idea.
Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck Dating
Jennifer’s fans have speculated about this possibility since their breakup in 2004. After all, the relationship of the stars seemed almost perfect! Ben and Jennifer met in 2002 on the set of the movie “Gigli” and fell in love with each other. Lucky did not prevent even the titles of the worst actor and actress, which they were awarded at the awards “Golden Raspberry” for the joint tape. Affleck and Lopez were absorbed in their romance, and the press – themselves.
Journalists called them “Bennifer”, and this neologism became so popular that got into the dictionaries of the English language. The paparazzi followed the couple relentlessly – and in the future it would become a big problem for them. But at that moment, the lovers were happy: a few years later, Jennifer recalled that she was “just very good with Ben”.
By the way, not all fans of the stars took their relationship seriously, reasoning that they do not fit each other. Affleck and Lopez thought quite differently: they found it amazing that they received the same upbringing, grew up in similar families and grew up with shared values. “Brilliantly intelligent. Loving, charming, affectionate,” Jennifer admired Ben. Plus, the singer’s mother, Guadalupe, approved of her chosen one – and very timely.
Engagement of Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck
That same year, 2002, Affleck proposed to Lopez. Everyone remembers the engagement ring? The actor presented the bride with a custom-made Harry Winston jewelry with a pink diamond in six carats, which he personally chose. The pleasure cost him 1.2 million dollars – the next grooms of the singer had to try very hard to outdo Ben. But at that moment of total happiness and harmony, they did not think about the fact that there would be others in their lives.
The next year became a real test for the couple. The attention of the paparazzi to their personal life was so unbearable that it leaked even Jennifer’s creativity. In her video Jenny from the Block, she ironized over how reporters everywhere followed her and her lover, but in reality they were not up to laughter. They canceled their wedding scheduled for September 14, 2003, the day before the ceremony.
Affleck and Lopez stated that their celebration was upset by the restless press. When they began to consider whether to make three fake weddings to distract journalists from their personal celebration, the lovers realized that this could not go on. But taking a break from their fame can be difficult, to say the least. “We felt something that was supposed to be a joyous and sacred day could be ruined for us, our families and our friends,” they complained and postponed the wedding.
Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck’s breakup
Alas, the ceremony date moved to the 32nd day of the month of never-never – after a brief reunion following the upset celebration, Jennifer and Ben did end their relationship. The actor made one request to the press at the time: that at least this time they leave them alone. Later, Affleck recalled that Lopez got the most in the media: they talked about her in the context of sexism and racism and did not spare slander.
“If you wrote that now, you would literally be fired for what you said,” he angrily said. The actor continued to defend the singer even after their breakup, though they both went their separate ways: he married Jennifer Garner, who bore him daughters Violet and Seraphina and son Samuel. Lopez married Marc Anthony, in union with whom twins Max and Emmy appeared. But even this relationship was not destined to become “long and happy”: Ben divorced in 2018, Jennifer in 2014.
Chapter Two
Despite the painful breakup, the former lovers remained loyal friends. Whenever the opportunity arose, Affleck praised the star, and once even demanded an Oscar for her role in the movie “Strippers.” He shared that he still keeps in touch with the singer and continues to respect and admire her.
In 2022, Bennifer’s story got a high-profile continuation – the lovers got married. However, happiness did not last long – first there were loud quarrels, thousands of articles about how Ben painfully perceives the revelations of his wife in the press and her public lifestyle. In 2024, it became known that Ben and Jennifer decided to divorce, and in early 2025 in their marriage was put at the end.
