Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck are back together. We remember how it was 17 years ago

Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck are back together. We remember how it was 17 years ago

The resumption of the romance of 51-year-old Jennifer Lopez and 48-year-old Ben Affleck may be the most high-profile reunion of the star couples in many years. The union of the couple, who met 17 years ago, was one of the brightest and most popular with the public. Ben and Jennifer were perceived as one and even gave them the nickname Bennifer, which was formed from their names. The development of the relationship between the singer and the actor was followed with great curiosity by their fans, and when the couple announced their engagement, their fans, of course, were delighted. However, much to their disappointment, the wedding never took place — Ben and Jennifer canceled it shortly before the scheduled date of the celebration. After that, they were together for a while, but then they broke up. Since then, each of them has gone his own way, while maintaining friendly relations. Recently, the first rumors about their romance appeared, followed by photo confirmations and other details of their romantic relationship. What will result in their second attempt to build a relationship and how far the lovers will go, time will tell. In the meantime, we suggest indulging in nostalgia and remembering what a couple Bennifer was in the early 2000s.

Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck met in 2002 on the set of the movie "Gigli" and soon began dating.

A few months later, they worked together on Lopez's music video for the song Jenny from the Block.

In November 2002, they announced their engagement. They planned to have a wedding in September 2003.

They made their first red carpet debut as a couple in December 2002, appearing together at the New York premiere of Mistress Maid.

In 2003, they continued to delight their fans with joint appearances and in January they attended the Sundance Film Festival in Utah.

In February, Lopez supported Affleck at the premiere of the film "Daredevil", in which he, by the way, starred with his future wife Jennifer Garner.

The following month, they posed together on the Academy Awards red carpet.

In July, they seemed incredibly happy at the premiere of the film "Gigli", on the set of which they met.

In September, Jennifer and Ben were supposed to get married, but they canceled the wedding, announcing the postponement of the date.

Due to the excessive media attention on our wedding, we decided to postpone the date. When we realized that we were seriously considering hiring three fake brides to distract the paparazzi, we realized that something had gone wrong. We felt that the day that was supposed to be the happiest day of our lives could be compromised. We realized that what was supposed to be the most joyful and sacred day for us and our loved ones could be ruined,

- they said.

They did not announce the date of the future wedding.

Despite the postponement of the wedding, the couple continued to meet and appear in public together.

In January 2004, it became known about their separation. A rep for Lopez said she broke off her engagement to Affleck. The official reason was not announced. Ben and Jennifer themselves said that it was all the fault of the excessive media attention to them, which they constantly faced during their relationship.

In May 2021, it became known about their reunion. To be continued.
