Everything Ben Affleck and Jennifer Lopez Have Said About Their Relationship Over the Years

Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck's relationship inspired her 2002 hit "Dear Ben," and their romance provided even more inspiration when it was rekindled two decades later.

The couple were first linked in the early 2000s, with Lopez confirming their engagement to Diane Sawyer in November 2002.

The twosome eventually called off their wedding in early 2004. While Lopez married Marc Anthony later that year, Affleck moved on with Jennifer Garner. The duo both welcomed kids with their new partners.

Lopez and Anthony, who share twins Max and Emme, split in 2014 after a decade of marriage. Affleck and Garner — parents of Violet, Seraphina and Samuel — split in 2015 after 10 years of marriage, finalizing their divorce in 2018.

While both Lopez and Affleck went on to have high-profile relationships following their respective divorces, the twosome sent social media into a tizzy when they were spotted together in April 2021 following Lopez's split from Alex Rodriguez. Nearly one year after the pair reconnected, Lopez confirmed they had gotten engaged. They tied the knot in July 2022.
