Ben Affleck and Jennifer Lopez started dating each other summer 2002 and became engaged in fall 2003.
They went their separate ways, but stayed in contact and spoke positively about one another.
However, their relationship ended in early 2004, reportedly because at the time, Lopez was ready to “settle down and have kids,” but Affleck wasn’t ready to give up on “his bachelor lifestyle just yet.”
Cut to Affleck’s divorce from Jennifer Garner and breaking up with Ana de Armas, and Jennifer Lopez ending things with Alex Rodriguez, the actors who starred together in Gigli and Jersey Girl romantically reconnected, with Lopez confirming in July that they were dating again.
