The start of Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck’s relationship can be traced back to 2002. They appeared in the film Gigli, which received a negative response from the critics and did not do well at the box office. The lead actors fell for each other on the sets of the film.

The well-known singer decided to do another film with Ben Affleck. Affleck proposed to Jennifer with a ring which was a 6.1-carat pink solitaire. Ben was then seen in Jennifer’s iconic “Jenny From the Block” video.

The couple were seen at the premiere of Gigli. But they postponed their wedding date through an official statement mentioning the excessive media attention surrounding the wedding. They felt that they were compromising the happiest day of their lives.

Later, Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck stated that they had separated with no reason being mentioned. Lopez then married Marc Anthony and split from him five months later. Affleck started dating Jennifer Garner at the same time. They tied the knot in a private ceremony.

Jennifer and Marc’s divorce was finalized in 2014. Jennifer started dating Casper Smart in 2011. In an interview with HuffPost Live, the singer said that she has no regrets about Ben.
