The pair had been dating since 2017. Lopez and Affleck first met on the set of the rom-com Gigli back in 2002. At the time, Lopez was married to her second husband, dancer Chris Judd. However, 'Bennifer' soon went public with their relationship not long after the chart-topper's <a href="https://okmagazine.com/geofence/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">divorce</a> from Judd. <img class="size-full wp-image-1263107229" src="https://img.vt.co/2021/05/D3BJFA-scaled.jpeg" alt="" width="1577" height="2560" />[[imagecaption|| Credit: Alamy]] Speaking at the time to <a href="https://people.com/celebrity/jennifer-lopez-says-there-was-genuine-love-with-ben-affleck/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">People</a>, Lopez said of meeting Affleck: "I felt like… 'Okay, this is it'." Affleck proposed to Lopez in November of 2002, but the pair canceled their wedding after infidelity rumors made headlines regarding the Good Will Hunting star. Four months later, the J-Lo's representative released a simple <a href="http://www.mtv.com/news/1484539/j-lo-and-ben-call-off-engagement/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">statement</a> at the time that read: "I am confirming the report that Jennifer Lopez has ended her engagement to Ben Affleck." But, it would appear that time heals all, and it's great to see both Lopez and Affleck looking so happy together. <h6>Featured image credit: UPI / Alamy</h6>
