Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck, known as "Bennifer," first met on the set of "Gigli" in the early 2000s. Despite the film's poor reception, their real-life romance blossomed, leading to an engagement in 2002 shortly after Lopez's divorce. However, the couple called off their wedding in 2003 due to intense media scrutiny and split in early 2004. After nearly two decades apart, they rekindled their relationship in July 2021 and married in Las Vegas in July 2022. Despite their renewed commitment, recent rumors suggest they may be facing difficulties and living separately, casting doubt on the stability of their marriage.

00:00 With rumors of relationship trouble swirling, let's take a look back at where Jennifer Lopez
00:04 and Ben Affleck's romance began, and why they're having trouble now. Actress Jennifer Lopez,
00:10 also known as J-Lo, and actor Ben Affleck, first met back in the early 2000s on the set of the film
00:16 Giggly. Ironically, the film failed dramatically, with many critics commenting on the lack of
00:21 chemistry between Lopez and Affleck, but they definitely didn't feel the same way. Lopez
00:27 divorced her second husband, Chris Judd, in June of 2002 and got together with Affleck shortly after.
00:33 Just five months later, Affleck proposed and the pair were set to tie the knot in September of
00:38 2003. The couple called off the wedding just days before, blaming it on "excessive media attention."
00:45 But then they went on to split in January of 2004. But that was not the end of Affleck and
00:50 Lopez's story. Not even close. For better or for worse, we'll let you decide. The pair got back
00:56 together in July of 2021, only to move towards marriage almost as fast as the first time. But
01:01 this time around, the couple did go through with officially tying the knot, as they were married
01:06 in Las Vegas in July of 2022. However, fans suspect the marriage may be short-lived, as multiple news
01:12 outlets are reporting there's trouble in paradise and Affleck and Lopez are now living separately.
