When did JLo and Ben Affleck date?

Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck first became Bennifer in 2002.

They met on the set of Gigli—a film that would go on to become a box-office bomb—while Jen was married to her second husband, Cris Judd.

Jen filed for divorce from Cris in June 2002 and her relationship with Ben took off shortly after the divorce was finalized.

Ben proposed to Jen with a 6-carat pink diamond ring in November 2002, however, the two called it quits two years later.

Why did JLo and Ben Affleck break up?

In 2003, JLo and Ben Affleck began filming Jersey Girl together.

The film, which was released in March 2004, was also a box office bomb.

In September 2003, just a few days before they were set to walk down the aisle, JLo and Ben Affleck called off the wedding.

They blamed 'excessive media attention' for their canceled nuptials.

They still stayed together as a couple until January 2004, when JLo and Ben ultimately announced they were done for good.

Jen wouldn't speak much about the relationship again until 2016 when she reflected on the demise of their relationship.

She said at the time: "I think different time, different thing, who knows what could've happened, but there was a genuine love there."

But that 'different time' came soon enough.

Are JLo and Ben married?

Bennifer fans were thrilled to see the pair back together in 2021 after posing for an intimate photo on JLo's Instagram.

In July 2021, an insider told PEOPLE the rekindled couple "are madly in love" and "the loves of each other's lives".
