As a reminder, Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck were a couple from 2002 to 2004. Very much in love, they got engaged after three months of relationship and the actor appeared more in love than ever with the singer in his clip Jenny From The Block. The singer had also dedicated an entire album to her love affair with the actor: This is me… Then (in 2002).
To everyone’s surprise, the couple nicknamed “Ben’nifer” separates suddenly. The actor quickly becomes a couple with actress Jennifer Garner and marries her in June 2005. Thereafter, they have three children: Violet Ann (born in 2005), Seraphina Rose Elisabeth (born in 2009) then Samuel (born in 2012) Only a few months after her breakup with Ben Affleck, Jennifer Lopez had married her side with her best friend Marc Anthony.
In 2014, she explained how she had fallen into the arms of the singer just after her separation from Ben Affleck, during an interview with Maria Shriver for the TodayShow : “That’s when one of my best friends, who I’d known for years and really loved, and who I was in sync with, came into my life and told me ‘I’m here’“. Together, the couple had twins, Max and Emme (born in 2008).
However, Jennifer Lopez has never really forgotten Ben Affleck, who had been, according to her, her “first big heartache“.”It gutted me (…) It took me two years to get back on my feet“, she explained to the magazine Vanity Fair, evoking his very painful break with the actor of the film Pearl Harbor.
