Bennifer | Act II
Breaking up with Ben Affleck in 2004 was “the biggest heartbreak of my life,” Jennifer Lopez would recall years later. “I honestly felt like I was going to die. It sent me on a spiral for the next 18 years where I just couldn't get it right.”
She would unexpectedly have the chance to make it right in 2021, when their paths collided once again.
A lot of drama, breakups, children, and scandals would have to happen for both of them first, though, before they could get to that point.
2007
October 2007
Ben addresses the Bennifer relationship in comments that generate some “Ben says JLo was bad for his career” headlines.
“(The relationship) was probably bad for my career. What happens is this sort of bleed-over from the tabloids across your movie work. You go to a movie, you only go once. But the tabloids and Internet are everywhere. You can really subsume the public image of somebody. I ended up in an unfortunate crosshair position where I was in a relationship and [the media] mostly lied and inflated a bunch of salacious stuff for the sake of selling magazines. And I paid a certain price for that. Then, in concert with some movies that didn’t work…” (Source)
In response to the headlines, Ben comes back to clarify:
“It not only makes me look like a petulant fool, but it surely qualifies as ungentlemanly. For the record, did she hurt my career? No.”
This same month, Jennifer confirms rumors that she is pregnant.
2008
February 2008
Jennifer and Marc Anthony have twins, Emme and Max.
October 2008
Jennifer and Marc renew their wedding vows.
December 2008
Just two months after the vow renewal, Us Weekly claims Marc and Jennifer are on the brink of divorce after she is seen without her wedding ring.
Rumors swirled that Lopez's marriage was on the rocks after she showed up to the premiere of The Curious Case of Benjamin Button last week without her 8-carat diamond engagement ring, wedding band - or ever present husband, Marc Anthony (who was spotted in Las Vegas sans wedding band the weekend before).
Multiple sources confirm to to Us Weekly their marriage is at a breaking point.
"They both didn't wear their rings on purpose," a mutual pal of the married couple of four years (who renewed their vows in October) tells Us. "Nothing Jennifer does is without purpose."
While Anthony's rep insists to Us, "They are doing great," a source tells Us deep trouble has been brewing.
"He's very, very controlling of her," a close Anthony pal tells Us. "The skirts aren't as short. You don't see so much of that booty anymore." The new Us Weekly also reports that Anthony also picks out Lopez’s clothes and keeps tabs on her phone calls
Anthony hit NYC hotspots Bungalow 8 and Marquee, where he was spotted with his hand on a woman's thigh and overheard complaining about his wife to a group of women, "telling them, 'She's making me miserable,'" a source says.
His club spree didn't stop there: The next night, he was photographed by TMZ.com partying sans wedding band with pal Eva Longoria Parker and Russell Crowe in Las Vegas.
The couple will later say they are not splitting up, with a source reporting to People:
"The marriage is experiencing frustrations because of the added stress of the twins but they will work things out. They love each other, and that will dictate what happens. I don't think divorce is in the picture."
2009
January 2009
Ben and Jennifer Garner have their second child, Seraphina.
2010
May 2010
Jennifer is asked if she would ever go see a Ben Affleck movie:
“Would I see a movie of Ben’s? Sure! Why not?” the “Back-up Plan” leading lady told the U.K. edition of Marie Claire.
“I haven’t seen him or talked to him in a while – our lives went in two very different directions...
“But I always wish him the best and I always thought he was a good person,” she said.
2011
July 2011
More than two-and-a-half years after the initial split rumors, Marc and Jennifer announce they are getting divorced.
“We have decided to end our marriage,” they tell PEOPLE in a joint statement. “This was a very difficult decision. We have come to an amicable conclusion on all matters.”
“It is a painful time for all involved,” the statement continues, “and we appreciate the respect of our privacy at this time.” (Source)
Us Weekly, which was much more reputable and reliable at the time, claims that Jennifer’s mother had emailed Ben Affleck out of concern for her daughter leading up to the divorce.
Guadalupe Lopez, the singer-actress's mother (and plus-one at the July 9 BAFTA bash with the royals in Hollywood), sought Affleck's advice on July 12, multiple sources confirm in the new Us Weekly, out Wednesday. "Guadalupe reached out to Ben over email. She wanted advice for Jennifer," reveals a source.
"She always liked and trusted him. [Ben] replied back on email, wished her well and offered what he could," the source says of Affleck, 38, now happily married with two daughters to Jennifer Garner.
Us Weekly would also quote sources who claimed that the divorce was a long time coming due to Marc’s behavior, including cheating:
"It was a very bad marriage, and Jennifer got the courage to end things," an insider says, adding, "[Marc] was a terrible husband."
At issue: Anthony's raging jealousy over Lopez's career, his compulsion to control everything from her business endeavors and even her famous wardrobe, and, according to multiple sources, at least one extra-marital affair in 2009.
And despite her ultra-glamourous, ultra-confident persona in the public eye, Lopez "actually has low self-esteem," one pal explains. "And Marc really played into that insecurity. That's why she put up with his abuse for such a long time." (Source)
Jennifer would later say that the marriage was never quite right.
“When my marriage ended, it was not easy to find forgiveness. It wasn’t the dream that I had hoped for, and it would have been easier to fan the flames of resentment, disappointment and anger. But Marc is the father of my children, and that’s never going away. So I have to work to make things right. And that is, by far, the hardest work I do.”
“I hung in there for seven years,” the Shades of Blue actress continued. “I knew very quickly that it wasn’t the right thing.”
August 2011
Marc denies rumors that he cheated on Jennifer in an interview with ABC News.
"It was a flight attendant, it was the pilot -- I heard it was this guy sitting next to me in a rehab in Houston. I've heard it all," Anthony told ABC News in his first interview since the announcement.
"People are trying to peg it on things because it was so shocking. It was like, it must have been something…It wasn't something sensationalistic," Anthony said.
"It was a realization on both our parts… It wasn't shocking. These things happen," he said.
November 2011
Following rumors about a hookup with Bradley Cooper, JLo steps out with a new man – Casper Smart, one of her backup dancers.
2012
February 2012
Ben and Jennifer Garner have their third child, a son named Samuel.
October 2012
Ben says in an interview with The Hollywood Reporter that he and J.Lo still exchange messages from time to time.
"We don't have the kind of relationship where she relies on me for advice, but we do have the kind of relationship where there'll be an email saying, 'Oh, your movie looks great.'
"I remember when she got American Idol. I said: 'This was really smart. Good luck.' I touch base. I respect her. I like her. She's put up with some stuff that was unfair in her life, and I'm really pleased to see her successful."
2013
January 2013
On January 13, 2013, Jennifer and boyfriend Casper Smart can be seen standing and clapping for Ben when he wins Best Director at the Golden Globes.
February 2013
At the Oscars on February 24, 2013, Ben gets flak for saying in his acceptance speech for Best Picture winner “Argo” that his marriage to Garner is “work.”
“I wanna thank you for working on our marriage for ten Christmases. It's good. It is work, but it's the best kind of work. And there's no one I'd rather work with."
Garner later defends him:
Garner told The Telegraph that she knew that some misinterpreted Affleck's comments as a sign of marital trouble. "I had a friend call and say, 'Are you OK?'" she revealed. "I know Ben, I knew he meant it as the hugest, warmest compliment in the world," Garner explained. "I think he was saying, 'Look, what we have is really real and I value it above all and I'm in it with you and I know you are in it with me.' That's the way I took it.'" (Source)
July 2013
I’m still unsure what this means, but in 2022, on an affidavit of application for a marriage license with JLo, Ben will list the date of his split from Jennifer Garner as taking place July 16, 2013. Is this when they initially separated, even though it was not made public at the time?
December 2013
Ben says he and Jennifer Garner fell in love on the set of "Daredevil." He was starting his relationship with Jennifer Lopez and she was married to Scott Foley at the time filming began.
“That’s where I found my wife,” he said. “We met on Pearl Harbor, which people hate, but we fell in love on Daredevil.”
2014
March 2014
When asked to choose between them, Jennifer jokes about letting both Diddy and Ben drown if she had to save one of them.
"You're on a raft in the middle of the ocean," show host Big Boy explained to the gorgeous star.
"Oh, that would give me so much anxiety," interrupted Lopez, 44.
"Oh, this about to give you more anxiety," Big Boy responded. "You look in the ocean, you see two people floating," the host continued. "You can only pull up one, because that's how much room you have on the raft. You look in the ocean, you see Ben Affleck and you see Diddy."
Lopez, as soon as she heard Affleck's name, started laughing. After Diddy was named as the second option, she erupted into a full fit of giggles.
"I'd let both those motherf--kers drown!" she yelled.
June 2014
Jennifer and Casper Smart split for the first time (there will be more times).
“Jennifer did not trust him," our source tells us. "The relationship had not been right for a while.”
October 2014
Jennifer says Ben was her first big heartbreak (even though she had been married twice before him).
“Right away when you broke up with Ben Affleck, Marc Anthony was there, like, two days later, and you were in,” recalled Shriver, referring to Lopez ending her relationship with Affleck in January and beginning her quick courtship with Anthony soon after. By June 2004 the singers were married.
“Right, you’re absolutely right,” said the “American Idol” judge. “It was probably my first big heartbreak, and to have one of my best friends who I’d known for years who I actually love and did have chemistry with come into my life and say, ‘I’m here.’ What you need to know is, nobody can save you or heal you. Only you can do that for you.”
2015
February 2015
Featured on the February 2, 2015, cover of People magazine, Jennifer says she is still single after the breakup with Casper Smart the previous year.
Currently single, the hard-working star, 45, hasn’t sworn off romance for good.
“I still believe in the fairy tale,” she says. “The more I work on myself, the more I give myself the opportunity to share a really deep and meaningful relationship that can give me my fairy tale and last forever.”
On February 22, 2015, Ben and Jennifer have an interaction at the Oscars, where they are both presenting different awards. It is not caught on camera but reported by witnesses.
During the 87th Annual Academy Awards, the exes had a brief, off-camera reunion during a commercial break. After Laura Poitras's Citizenfour won the award for Best Documentary Feature, Affleck walked over to Lopez, who was seated in the front row. According to ABC News, Affleck whispered something into Lopez's ear, and she playfully smacked his arm.
March 2015
Jennifer appears to be back together with Casper Smart when they are spotted kissing.
(The news is confirmed two months later.)
June 2015
Ben and Jennifer Garner announce they are splitting up on June 30, 2015.
“After much thought and careful consideration, we have made the difficult decision to divorce. We go forward with love and friendship for one another and a commitment to co-parenting our children whose privacy we ask to be respected during this difficult time. This will be our only comment on this private, family matter. Thank you for understanding.”
According to a longtime friend of the actress, Affleck recently came to Garner “and told her he had not been committed to the marriage within the past few years,” her friend says. “Jen is a fighter. She would not give up unless there was a good reason.”
Several sources close to Garner also say that allegations of infidelity (which Affleck vehemently denies) and other troubling behavior, including drinking and gambling, took their toll on the marriage. “She loved Ben,” says another close friend. “But there comes a time when you have to say enough is enough and take care of yourself.” (Source)
Later that summer, Ben also tries to deflect a scandal about his relationship with their nanny.
Christine Ouzounian worked as Ben Affleck and Jennifer Garner's nanny for just a few months – but her relationship with Affleck quickly became something much more intimate, according to sources.
Multiple sources confirm to PEOPLE that Ouzounian, 28, told friends she was having an affair with Affleck. "Christine is in love with him," says one friend of Ouzounian's.
Affleck has denied having any romantic relationship with Ouzounian, with his rep denouncing a report as "complete garbage and full of lies." A source close to Affleck says he and Ouzounian had "a work relationship and a friendship. There has never been a romantic or sexual relationship."
2016
March 2016
JLo reflects on her relationship with Ben and the “genuine love” they had in an interview with People.
“We didn’t try to have a public relationship,” says Lopez. “We just happened to be together at the birth of the tabloids, and it was like ‘Oh my God.’ It was just a lot of pressure.”
When she first met the actor, “I felt like … ‘Okay, this is it,'” says the Shades of Blue star. “[But] sometimes I feel like what you think people are and how you see them when you love them is different than when they reveal later.”
The duo called off their wedding just one day before the ceremony, and the American Idol star went on to marry Marc Anthony, while Affleck began dating Jennifer Garner.
“I think different time different thing, who knows what could’ve happened, but there was a genuine love there,” reflects Lopez.
August 2016
Jennifer and Casper Smart break up for the final time. People reports a few months later that the reason behind the split was that Jennifer had caught him cheating on her – again.
“She kicked him out because he cheated on her and he got caught,” says the source. “It happened two years ago, and he promised he would never do it again and once he did, she was done.”
Recently, the source says “he’s been doing everything he can to get back together, working on himself and posting on his Instagram saying that ‘Life is Good’ and showing off his new leg tattoo that says ‘You must embrace the darkness to see the light.’”
“The truth is, he was cheating and now that it’s over he’s been begging to come back,” the source says.
2017
February 2017
Jennifer starts dating former New York Yankee Alex Rodriguez. (Though it is not public at the time, she says a year later that their anniversary is in February.)
In a coincidental moment, Jennifer and Alex ran into each other in Los Angeles. While they have different recounts of what exactly went down, it started with Jennifer tapping Alex on the shoulder and ended in Alex sending her a text asking her to dinner later that night. (Source)
March 2017
People reports on March 8, 2017, that Ben and Jennifer Garner have called off their divorce for now.
“Jen has called off the divorce,” a source close to Garner tells PEOPLE in the latest issue. “She really wants to work things out with Ben. They are giving things another try.”
But a source close to the couple says it was a decision they both made: “There is always a chance of reconciliation. They love each other. They also really, really love their kids, and those kids love their parents.”
The reason for the temporary divorce hold may be more obvious a week later when, on March 14, Ben announces that he has completed another stint in rehab:
“I have completed treatment for alcohol addiction; something I’ve dealt with in the past and will continue to confront,” he wrote on Facebook. “I want to live life to the fullest and be the best father I can be. I want my kids to know there is no shame in getting help when you need it, and to be a source of strength for anyone out there who needs help but is afraid to take the first step. I’m lucky to have the love of my family and friends, including my co-parent, Jen, who has supported me and cared for our kids as I’ve done the work I set out to do. This was the first of many steps being taken towards a positive recovery.”
On March 31, 2017, Alex confirms his relationship with JLo in an interview on The View.
Looks like the rumors were true after all: Alex Rodriguez and Jennifer Lopez are an item.
The former professional baseball player confirmed that he’s dating J.Lo, 47, while appearing on The View Friday morning.
“We’re having a great a time, she’s an amazing, amazing girl,” said Rodriguez, 41. “One of the smartest human beings I’ve ever met, and also an incredible mother.”
April 2017
Despite the report a month earlier that they were trying to reconcile, Ben and Jennifer Garner finally file for divorce on April 13, 2017. The final split is amicable with them filing together:
Both Jen and Ben filed pro per - without a lawyer. Her petition and his response mirror each other completely. The petition and response were filed together, which means it was coordinated.
July 2017
Ben’s relationship with Saturday Night Live producer Lindsay Shookus is made public. People Magazine quotes sources who allege that the two had an affair during his marriage to Jennifer Garner, when Lindsay was also married.
The two started having an affair in 2013, two years before Affleck and Jennifer Garner announced their separation, according to multiple sources. Shookus was also still with her husband Kevin Miller, a fellow Saturday Night Live producer, at the time. The two split a few years later.
Affleck and Shookus “full-on had an affair. They would fly back and forth, but he would mostly visit her in New York,” a source tells PEOPLE. “They didn’t hide … They would use the Mandarin Oriental [hotel]. They were regulars.”
Another source echoes the first, adding, “Both of them were married at the time. They were having secret rendezvous every time he came in to New York City and other places, too. Both of them were cheating on their spouses so they were very careful about it. Jen and [Shookus’] husband both found out about it around the same time” a few years later.
October 2017
In full celebrity couple mode now, J-Rod covers Vanity Fair together with their couple name as the headline.
“I understand him in a way that I don’t think anyone else could, and he understands me in a way that no one else could ever,” she says. “In his 20s, he came into big success with the biggest baseball contract [at the time]. I had a No. 1 movie and a No. 1 album and made history. We both had ups and downs and challenges in our 30s, and by our 40s we’d both been through so much. And more importantly than anything, we had both done a lot of work on ourselves.”
2018
August 2018
Ben has apparently recently broken up with Lindsay Shookus, because he is seen out and about in mid-August with 22-year-old Playboy model Shauna Sexton. This slew of sightings and paparazzi shots include photos of Ben accepting an alcohol delivery outside his house.
Two days after the alcohol delivery, Jennifer Garner is seen driving a disheveled-looking Ben to rehab.
Ben Affleck is heading back to rehab.
The actor, 46, is seeking treatment for alcohol addiction, PEOPLE confirms.
A source tells PEOPLE, “He is seeking treatment. He knew he needed help and was vocal about it.”
The move to enter a treatment facility came after his ex Jennifer Garner was photographed arriving at his home on Wednesday.
The Peppermint actress was seen leaving Affleck’s upset and shaking. When she returned, Garner, Affleck and an unidentified woman who arrived at the actor’s home with her were photographed in a car the actress was driving.
October 2018
Ben and Jennifer Garner’s divorce is finalized.
2019
March 2019
On March 19, 2019, Alex proposes to Jennifer while they vacation in the Bahamas.
September 2019
With a wedding reportedly planned to take place the next summer in Italy, J-Rod have their engagement party on September 27, 2019.
2020
February 2020
Alex supports Jennifer as she performs at the Super Bowl halftime show on February 2, 2020.
In a February 18, 2020, profile for The New York Times, Ben talks about JLo, saying that she should have been nominated for an Oscar for her role in “Hustlers.”
"She should have been nominated. She's the real thing," Affleck said in an unused clip from the interview, per New York Times reporter Brooks Barnes. "I keep in touch periodically with her and have a lot of respect for her. How awesome is it that she had her biggest hit movie at 50? That's f*cking baller."
March 2020
Ben is confirmed to be dating his recent "Dark Water" co-star Ana De Armas, right as the COVID pandemic begins shutting everything down in the world. They will be seen out on walks while apparently isolating together in L.A. throughout the spring and summer.
May 2020
A source confirms that J-Rod are having to postpone their wedding due to COVID-19.
Alex Rodriguez will have to wait even longer to put "El Anillo" on Jennifer Lopez's ring finger.
A source tells E! News, the singer and former pro-athlete have indefinitely postponed their summer nuptials because of the coronavirus pandemic. "They have been struggling for weeks over this decision, but with no return to normalcy in the near future, the couple felt postponing the wedding was the safest and smartest choice," the insider reveals. "Guests have recently been notified that the wedding will not be happening in late summer as anticipated."
According to the source, Jennifer and Alex planned to host their wedding in Italy and still hope to "have the wedding of their dreams" when the timing is right. The insider says they are considering new dates, but don't see the ceremony taking place anytime "soon."
2021
January 2021
In a podcast interview with The Hollywood Reporter on January 14, 2021, Ben praises JLo and reflects on how rude media coverage of her was when they were together.
“People were so fucking mean about her — sexist, racist. Ugly, vicious shit was written about her in ways that if you wrote it now you would literally be fired for saying those things you said. Now it’s like, she’s lionized and respected for the work she did, where she came from, what she accomplished — as well she fucking should be! I would say you have a better shot, coming from the Bronx, of ending up as like [Justice Sonia] Sotomayor on the Supreme Court than you do of having Jennifer Lopez’s career and being who she is at 50 years old today.”
On January 18, 2021, sources confirm that Ben and Ana de Armas have split.
"She broke it off. Their relationship was complicated. Ana doesn't want to be Los Angeles based and Ben obviously has to since his kids live in Los Angeles."
"This is something that was mutual and something that is completely amicable," another source close to Affleck and de Armas adds. "They are in different points in their lives; there is deep love and respect there. Ben continues to want to work on himself. He has three jobs lined up and he's a solid father at home. They are both happy with where they are in their lives."
February 2021
Rumors swirl that Alex cheated on Jennifer with a reality TV star, Madison Lecroy of Southern Charm. In the show’s latest reunion special, which was taped in December 2020 but not aired until February 2021, discussion amongst cast members alleges that Madison had an affair with an ex-MLB player whose name is bleeped out. The Internet quickly figures out that they are talking about ARod.
On February 3, 2021, Madison speaks to Page Six and denies any physical relationship with ARod but says they just spoke on the phone.
Rumors bubbled among LeCroy’s friends that she’d had “an affair” with the slugger — and they exploded into the public eye after Bravo’s Andy Cohen mentioned during a “Southern Charm” reunion show “a very famous … ex-MLB player.”
But LeCroy told us Wednesday that she and A-Rod have “never met up.”
She clarified they’ve “spoken on the phone.” “That’s the truth,” she said, adding they’ve “never been physical … never had any kind of anything. Just an acquaintance.”
An insider further told Page Six, “Alex and Jennifer are very happy. They’re together and building a house in Miami Beach.”
Two years later, long after JRod's split, Madison will allege more damning details about her communication with Alex.
On Thursday’s episode of Austen Kroll’s podcast, “Pillows and Beer,” LeCroy recalled her disbelief when she first got an Instagram message from the famous MLB player back in 2020.
“I’m being f–king catfished. The dude who’s dating [Jennifer Lopez] is not in my DMs right now,” she told Kroll she said to herself.
LeCroy added, “I told [Rodriguez], I said, ‘If you’re looking for a side chick,’ which clearly he was, ‘it wasn’t gonna be me.’ I’m wifey material.”
The Bravo star, 32, also claimed that Rodriguez offered to fly her to Miami on multiple occasions, sending over travel itineraries from commercial flights.
Meanwhile...
TMZ will claim that Ben reached out to JLo in early February by email, which sparked a reconnection between the two. This would be right around the time the rumors about ARod-Madison came out.
Sources with direct knowledge tell TMZ ... Ben and J Lo were in very regular contact by email starting in early February when she flew to the Caribbean to begin filming "Shotgun Wedding." We're told the tone of the emails wasn't just friendly ... but more loving and longing for Jen.
For instance, after seeing pics of Jennifer in the D.R., he wrote to tell her how beautiful she looked, and how much he wished he could be down there with her. Of course, he was busy at the time in Boston, shooting "The Tender Bar" with George Clooney -- and she was still engaged to Alex Rodriguez.
Our sources say the emails also referenced J Lo's love for Ben's writing, and included a line about him being able to "own her heart" with his pen.
We're told they continued emailing each other, back and forth, for the duration of J Lo's shoot.
March 2021
On March 12, 2021, Page Six reports that JRod have called off their engagement.
The next day, March 13, 2021, the two deny that they have broken up.
"All the reports are inaccurate. We are working through some things.”
Earlier Saturday, multiple sources close to the couple said: "They never officially broke up and had talked about it but are still together. They hit a rough patch that made them think about what they should do. They are sticking together. They are working through things.”
Alex and Jennifer are photographed kissing in the Dominican Republic shortly thereafter. Page Six reports that Alex flew to where Jennifer was filming her movie to try and salvage the relationship.
April 2021
To start off the month, Ben calls JLo the “hardest-working person” when asked to talk about her in an April 2021 InStyle cover story on her.
“I thought I had a good work ethic, but I was completely humbled and blown away by what she was committed to doing day in and day out, the seriousness in which she took her work, the quiet and dedicated way she went about accomplishing her goals, and then how she would go back and redouble her efforts," he told the publication.
He added, “She has great talent, but she has also worked very hard for her success, and I’m so happy for her that she seems, at long last, to be getting the credit she deserves.”
The Last Duel star also quipped about Lopez’s ageless appearance, adding, “Where are you keeping the fountain of youth? Why do you look the same as you did in 2003 and it kind of looks like I’m in my 40s...at best?"
In response, Lopez told the magazine, "I don't have any [beauty] secrets except JLo Beauty — and I'm giving them all to everyone with every product. Ben is funny! He still looks pretty good too."
April 15, 2021
Alex and Jennifer confirm their split after four years together, and this time they’re really over.
“We have realized we are better as friends and look forward to remaining so. We will continue to work together and support each other on our shared businesses and projects. We wish the best for each other and one another's children. Out of respect for them, the only other comment we have is to say is thank you to everyone who has sent kind words and support.”
April 30, 2021
Ben and Jennifer are seen hanging out together. Initially, a source tells People they are merely friends.
Exes Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck have been hanging out together in Los Angeles after the singer's recent split from Alex Rodriguez.
Affleck, 48, visited Lopez, 51, at her L.A. home on Friday, a source tells PEOPLE.
A separate source who knows them both tells PEOPLE, "They are friends. They have always been friends and they have seen each other through the years."
Affleck was also photographed leaving a white Escalade SUV that allegedly belongs to Lopez, according to the New York Post's Page Six.
May 2021
The day after the sighting, a source tells People that the two have a lot of love for each other.
"They have spent time together in L.A. over the past week," a source tells PEOPLE of the pair, who were in a relationship from 2002 to 2004. "They have a lot of love for each other. They have always admired each other."
Ten days later, it’s clear things are progressing swiftly as they are seen on a trip to Montana together.
Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck have been spending more time together.
Over a week after the exes were pictured at her Los Angeles home in late April, Lopez, 51, and Affleck, 48, were spotted in Montana. Sources tell PEOPLE they were pictured riding in a car together near a resort in Big Sky, where Affleck has a home. He was seen behind the wheel with Jennifer in the passenger seat. Photos of their outing were published by The Daily Mail.
"[Jennifer] spent several days with Ben out of town. They have a strong connection. It's all been quick and intense, but Jennifer is happy," a source tells PEOPLE of the pair who were later spotted arriving back in L.A. on Saturday on a private jet.
July 2021
JLo posts a picture kissing Ben on her Instagram for the first time, making things even more official.
Summer/Fall 2021
Everything old is new again, as Ben and Jen make like it's 2002 and show their love all over the world with lots of PDA and red carpet appearances.
December 2021
Ben gets backlash for saying in an interview with Howard Stern that he would still be drinking if he had remained married to Jennifer Garner.
"I'd probably still be drinking. It's part of why I started drinking … because I was trapped," he Argo director admitted to Howard Stern of feeling unhappy in his marriage to Garner, 49. "I was like 'I can't leave 'cause of my kids, but I'm not happy, what do I do?' What I did was drink a bottle of scotch and fall asleep on the couch, which turned out not to be the solution."
He then has to clarify:
“I was trying to say, ‘Hey, look, I was drinking too much, and the less happy you become, whether it’s your job, your marriage, it’s just that as your life becomes more difficult, if you’re doing things to fill a hole that aren’t healthy, you’re going to start doing more of those things.'”
For Christmas 2021, Ben gives Jennifer a book that compiles all of their love letters and emails over the last 20 years and he titles it, “The Greatest Love Story Never Told.” She will speak about this in her documentary of the same name three years later.
2022
February 2022
Jennifer covers People magazine and explains why things are different with Ben this time.
"We're older now, we're smarter, we have more experience, we're at different places in our lives, we have kids now, and we have to be very conscious of those things.
"It's a beautiful outcome that this has happened in this way at this time in our lives where we can really appreciate and celebrate each other and respect each other," Lopez says. "We always did, but we have even more of an appreciation because we know that life can take you in different directions."
No longer distracted by the pomp and media circus that surrounded their relationship before they split in 2004, Lopez says, "I think we are strong enough now to know what's real and what's not, whereas when we were younger maybe some of those outside voices were a little bit tougher for us to reconcile and survive."
April 2022
Bennifer confirm their engagement.
“It was totally unexpected. My love came in, Ben came in, and he got down on one knee and he said some things that I’ll never forget. And then he pulled out a ring and said, ‘Will you marry me?’” she recalled. “And it was the most perfect moment.”
July 2022
Ben and Jennifer get married in Las Vegas on July 17, 2022, almost 20 years after they made their first public debut as a couple.
“We did it. Love is beautiful. Love is kind. And it turns out love is patient. Twenty years patient.
“Exactly what we wanted. Last night we flew to Vegas, stood in line for a license with four other couples, all making the same journey to the wedding capital of the world. Behind us two men held hands and held each other. In front of us, a young couple who made the three-hour drive from Victorville on their daughter’s second birthday — all of us wanting the same thing — for the world to recognize us as partners and to declare our love to the world through the ancient and nearly universal symbol of marriage.
“With the best witnesses you could ever imagine, a dress from an old movie and jacket from Ben’s closet, we read our own vows in the little chapel and gave one another the rings we’ll wear for the rest of our lives.
“It was the best possible wedding we could have imagined. One we dreamed of long ago and one made real (in the eyes of the state, Las Vegas, a pink convertible and one another) at very, very long last.”
August 2022
On August 20, 2022, they have another wedding ceremony for family and friends in Georgia.
No matter what happens from here, they have already lasted longer the second go-around than they did the first.

Bennifer Is Back! Jennifer Lopez And Ben Affleck Are Dating Again
The “Bennifer” reunion was the big headline of 2021, but now in early 2023, Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck are a settled married couple. It only took them 20 years and two engagements to get there.
Their first round began in 2002, after they starred in that year's romcom, Gigli. Affleck eventually proposed to J.Lo, but they broke things off in 2004. Since then, they both went on to marry other people, have kids, and get divorced. They've also both dated other people since those divorces. A month after she ended things with Alex Rodriguez, Lopez was linked romantically to Affleck once more, in May 2021. They were married in the summer 2022 and are still enjoying their first year of being newlyweds.

Jennifer Lopez, 54, Stuns in Green Lingerie for Intimissimi Collab
Ageless Beauty Jennifer Lopez Unveils New Lingerie Collection
Jennifer Lopez, renowned for her age-defying allure, recently stunned the world by modeling in a sultry lingerie photoshoot. The 54-year-old former Fly Girl from In Living Color showcased her modeling prowess, highlighting her remarkably toned midriff in a jaw-dropping image.
Dressed in an emerald green lace bra and panties, the actress known for her role in "The Mother" was promoting her collaboration with the Italian lingerie brand, Intimissimi. Adding a touch of elegance to the ensemble, she wore a satin robe that gracefully slipped off her shoulders while posing in a high-rise apartment adorned with plush velvet sofas and a black piano.
Her half-up hairdo, with highlighted tendrils cascading over her face, perfectly complemented her polished caramel-colored makeup. As a mother to twins Emme and Max, aged 15, whom she shares with Marc Anthony, she proudly displayed her gold wedding band from her one-year husband, Ben Affleck.
Jennifer introduced her new collection, "THIS IS ME…NOW," in an Instagram caption, showcasing a transition from Verona to Hollywood, created with love by Norman Jean Roy. The collection signifies a significant chapter in the creative partnership between the Italian brand and the American icon, fusing Intimissimi's commitment to top-quality lingerie with Jennifer Lopez's distinct style.
The collection draws inspiration from Jennifer Lopez's upcoming album, "This is me...Now," which delves into her transformative journey of personal development, self-reflection, and embracing her true self.
Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck, affectionately known as Bennifer, celebrated their one-year wedding anniversary in July, rekindling their famous romance in 2021. A source close to the couple shared that the Justice League star is now "happy and content" with their marriage, with everything going well in his life.
Known for her Instagram snaps showcasing her enviable figure, Jennifer Lopez keeps fans engaged with her content, from casual selfies to fashion collaborations. She recently captivated her followers with a makeup-free bed selfie, donning a lacy green negligee and emphasizing her piercing gaze.
To commemorate their one-year wedding anniversary, Jennifer shared rare, never-before-seen photos from her wedding to Ben, alongside lyrics from her upcoming song, "Dear Ben Pt. II," displaying the deep love she holds for her husband.

Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck: A Legendary Love Story Reborn
It’s been two decades since one of Hollywood’s most notable love stories first began — the romance between Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck, affectionately known as “Bennifer.” From their initial meeting in 2002 to their rekindled romance in 2021, their rollercoaster relationship has captured the attention of fans and tabloids alike. Let’s take a trip down memory lane and explore the timeline of Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck’s enduring love.
1. Introduction
Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck’s relationship has been a subject of fascination for fans and the media. Their love story has endured multiple breakups, marriages to other people, and personal growth. Despite the challenges they faced, their connection has remained strong, leading to a rekindled romance in recent years.
2. The Beginnings of Bennifer
Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck first crossed paths on the set of the movie “Gigli” in 2001. Sparks flew between the rising Hollywood actors, and their on-screen chemistry translated into a real-life connection. At the time, Jennifer Lopez was still married to her second husband, dancer Cris Judd. However, she and Affleck went public with their relationship soon after her divorce from Judd was finalized in 2003.
3. The Rise and Fall of Bennifer
Bennifer quickly became one of Hollywood’s power couples, capturing the attention of the media and fans around the world. The couple’s engagement in November 2002, marked by a 6.1-carat pink diamond ring, solidified their status as a glamorous duo. Unfortunately, their relationship faced intense scrutiny and paparazzi intrusion, which put a strain on their romance. In September 2003, they called off their highly anticipated wedding.
4. Life After Bennifer
After their split, Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck both moved on with their lives. Lopez married singer Marc Anthony in 2004 and had twins together. Affleck tied the knot with actress Jennifer Garner in 2005, and they welcomed three children. Both couples seemed to have found happiness in their respective relationships, but fate had something else in store for Bennifer.

What Is the ‘J. Lo Effect’?
It’s hard to define but easy to identify.
By: Sarah Bahr
Aug 5, 2021
While fans of the Netflix reality show “Selling Sunset” await a new season of luxury Los Angeles real estate and interpersonal conflict, there’s been plenty to watch on social media: wedding plans, pregnancies, European vacations and budding relationships.
Just last week, one of the “Selling Sunset” stars, Chrishell Stause, revealed on Instagram that she is dating Jason Oppenheim, who, with his twin brother, Brett, owns the high-end brokerage where she is an agent. Ms. Stause captioned the post, which featured several pictures from a cast trip to Capri, Italy: “The JLo effect. 🤷🏻♀️”
The caption seemed to be a reference to Jennifer Lopez’s own recent carousel of vacation photos, the final one showing Ms. Lopez kissing Ben Affleck. But the phrase predates that post by at least a decade.
So … What does it mean?
The J. Lo effect is hard to define but easy to identify. Generally speaking, it refers to the ways in which Ms. Lopez, 52, defies most every human standard (beauty, success, age, flexibility, relevance, you name it). The expression has been invoked at various points in her career, often to express awe.
When, at age 41, she persuaded “American Idol” producers to pay her about $12 million to replace Simon Cowell, setting off a gold rush of big-name judges demanding similar paydays? “Call it the J. Lo effect,” The Hollywood Reporter proclaimed.
When she booked a Las Vegas residency at 46, yet avoided a downward slope on the fame parabola? “The J. Lo Effect,” read the Las Vegas Weekly headline.
When she obliterated the 2020 Super Bowl halftime show at 50? “The total J. Lo Effect was kind of mesmerizing,” The New York Times’s fashion critic Vanessa Friedman wrote.
Andrea McDonnell, an associate professor of communication at Providence College whose work examines celebrity gossip, said that Ms. Stause’s reference to Ms. Lopez “seems to speak to her ability to set trends, especially on social media.”
“It’s not that social media relationship announcements weren’t happening pre-Bennifer,” Ms. McDonnell clarified. “It’s more that J. Lo is such a cultural figure that we can pin other occurrences to her posts and compare them.”
But Ms. Stause’s usage also hints at a new connotation — one that refers to Ms. Lopez’s appearance-boosting effect on the men she dates.
A representative for Ms. Stause did not respond to an email requesting comment about what, precisely, she meant in her Instagram caption. Representatives for Ms. Lopez also did not reply to emailed questions about whether she watches “Selling Sunset” or is aware her name is now being invoked in a male-hotness-multiplier context.
As it turns out, there’s a scientific name for the phenomenon of females expressing greater interest in males who already have a partner — particularly a very attractive one — in both animals and humans: mate copying.
“The idea is that he must have a lot to offer in order to be dating someone who is such a catch,” said Jean Fitzpatrick, a relationship therapist in Manhattan.
Ryan C. Anderson, a researcher at Monash University in Australia who wrote a dissertation on mate copying, said the glow-up interpretation of the J. Lo effect sounded “a lot like the phenomenon.”
“By virtue of being in a relationship with a highly desirable woman, a man is conveying that he has at least some desirable traits,” Mr. Anderson said.
“It would be kind of like LeBron James endorsing a pair of basketball shoes,” he added.
Men attaching themselves to beautiful women to bask in their glow is nothing new, Ms. McDonnell said.
But Ms. Lopez is different because she is at least as powerful as Mr. Affleck, if not more so, in terms of cultural and economic capital; she is worth an estimated $400 million and is the 56th highest paid celebrity in the world, according to Forbes. And it was Ms. Lopez, with her 168 million Instagram followers compared with Mr. Affleck’s five million, who posted the big relationship reveal.
“So she’s the one putting her romance out there and having agency over her self-presentation,” Ms. McDonnell said. “Though Affleck may of course benefit from it.”
As for Ms. Stause and Mr. Oppenheim? The correlation is murkier, Ms. McDonnell said, because Mr. Oppenheim is her boss.
“So while Jason may benefit from a similar kind of ‘glow-up’ that J-Lo seems to have conferred on Ben, the power dynamics are more aligned with established gender norms,” Ms. McDonnell said.
Can the positive effects of dating someone as superhuman as Ms. Lopez last after a breakup?
“How long someone stays desirable for — how long the ‘glow-up’ lasts — is unclear,” Mr. Anderson said. “What we do know is that someone who is romantically desirable now is generally more highly valued than someone who was romantically desirable previously.”
Don’t tell A-Rod!

Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck wedded in Nevada
Genius big name couple Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck got hitched on Saturday, as per a Clark County marriage permit.
The couple, who dated and became taken part in the mid 2000s prior to separating and burning through 17 years separated, revived their relationship last year.
The couple got a marriage permit in Clark County, Nevada, on July 16, court records show. The permit was given to Benjamin Geza Affleck and Jennifer Lopez, who is additionally recognized as Jennifer Affleck.
NBC News has contacted agents for Lopez and Affleck for input on the pre-marriage ceremony.
Lopez and Affleck initially met on the arrangement of “Gigli” in 2002, as per Vulture.
They started dating sometime thereafter and by November 2002 “Bennifer,” as they became known in Hollywood, was locked in.
In any case, in 2004, Lopez declared the couple had parted.
The pair would proceed to date, and wed, different superstars during the almost multi decade partition. Lopez wedded vocalist Marc Anthony in 2004. Affleck wedded entertainer Jennifer Garner in 2005.
The two relationships in the long run finished, and Lopez became drawn in to previous New York Yankee Alex Rodriguez in 2019 while Affleck dated entertainer Ana de Armas. Both of those connections finished in 2021.
Yet again on April 8, Lopez declared she and Affleck were, locked in.

* Becoming one of the most sought-after stars in Hollywood has gone straight to Ana de Armas' head -- the cast and crew are often left waiting for the actress to emerge from her trailer on the set of the new action thriller The Gray Man -- Ana's got a lot going on and she's juggling several different projects, as well as photo shoots and phone calls with her team and people don't stay mad at her for too long, but they have nicknamed her Ana de Diva, but she isn't upset by the scathing moniker because she's a big name now, and with that comes a lot of responsibility and the way she sees it, there are worse things than being called a diva

Page 21: Matt James and Rachael Kirkconnell were spotted in NYC together, sparking speculation that the former Bachelor couple have rekindled their relationship -- the pair parted ways while the show was still airing after photos of the graphic designer at a plantation-themed college party in 2018 surfaced on social media -- Rachael made a mistake but she owned up to it and was willing to learn from it and it didn't change her feelings for Matt or vice versa and Matt was in love with Rachael too and he couldn't just turn those feelings off so no one would be surprised if they decided to reconcile

Page 28: Prince Harry overwhelmed with work -- Harry struggles to adjust after trading his cushy royal role for a variety of normal gigs -- though his job for BetterUp is primarily remote, added stress comes in the form of Harry's Spotify and Netflix deals, plus growing charity work -- Harry finds all of his new, non-royal titles fresh and exciting, but while he's a great person, some in his inner circle say Harry's kind of dumb and worry whether he can handle the pressure
Page 30: Lori Loughlin and Mossimo Giannulli life after prison -- reunited following months spent behind bars, Lori and Mossimo try to pick up the pieces -- prison definitely took a toll on Mossimo and he doesn't expect sympathy, but he's still struggling to adjust to what he went through; it really broke him down and forced him to reevaluate his life
