Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck’s Relationship Timeline

J.Lo and Ben kicked off their romance in 2001 after meeting on the set of the romantic comedy “Gigli.” Although the film didn’t gain too much success, the two actors’ on-screen chemistry quickly moved into real life. By the end of summer 2002, “Bennifer” decided to go public with their relationship and quickly became the paparazzi’s favorite target.

Fast-forward to November 2002. Ben took their relationship to the next level and popped the question, asking for J.Lo’s hand in marriage. The proposal was highly publicized, as Ben adorned his woman with an eye-catching 6.1-carat pink diamond ring from Harry Winston. However, their romance didn’t last long. Days before their September 2003 wedding, Ben postponed the ceremony due to the increase in media attention. J.Lo and Ben had officially called off their engagement by January of the following year.

Shortly after their split, “Bennifer” continued their lives, finding new partners. In 2004, J.Lo found love in Marc Anthony and welcomed twins Emma and Max. As for Ben, the 51-year-old actor went on to marry actress Jennifer Garner in 2005 and share three kids: Violet, Seraphina, and Samuel. While J.Lo and Ben enjoyed their time with their spouses, the two marriages eventually ended.

Seventeen years after their initial breakup, J.Lo and Ben shocked the world in 2021 by rekindling the former spark. The couple was spotted together in Montana, leading to a slew of reconciliation rumors. By July, the two made it official once again with an Instagram post during J. Lo’s 52nd birthday. To fuel the fire, “Bennifer” made their first red carpet appearance since reigniting their relationship at the Venice Film Festival.

The couple took another jab at marriage after Ben proposed in 2022. This time, he chose to complement the moment with a green diamond ring, which happens to be J.Lo’s favorite color. “Bennifer” tied the knot with a lavish ceremony at Ben’s Georgia estate.

Despite their recent fairy-tale wedding, rumors of an impending divorce between Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck are swirling. The couple has remained silent, offering no comments on the circulating reports.
