They say that where there was fire, ashes remain. She passed on to Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck, who decided to pick up their romance after a 17-year hiatus. A second chance that they have just reaffirmed at the altar after a failed first commitment.
After 20 years of having started their relationship, the flash back between the two Hollywood stars was as unexpected as it was fascinating for the fans of Benifer. However, many wonder why the lovesick couple broke off their first engagement. Coming up next, we tell you.
Jennifer, 53, and Ben, 49, met on the set of the movie Gigilin 2002, but it was not long before they went from being co-stars to one of the most mediatic couples internationally.
Their relationship was intense but ended quickly, as they were together for only four months before getting engaged and separated after just over a year in 2004. After a passionate relationship, the problems began in 2003.
They had never been so in love with someone and were about to get married, but “the excessive media attention” around their relationship was such that their love story collapsed. Just one day before their wedding, scheduled for September 14, 2003, the couple issued an unexpected statement:
Given the excessive media attention surrounding our wedding, we have decided to postpone it. When we found ourselves seriously considering hiring three different “fake girlfriends” in three different places, we realized something was wrong. We begin to feel that the spirit of what should have been the happiest day of our lives could be ruined for us, our families and friends.
Four months after the announcement, in January 2004, Bennifer ended their relationship. The person in charge of sharing the sad news was JLo, who announced the separation through a statement to Associated Presswithout giving a specific reason for the break.
Today, after almost two decades of being apart, two marriages, some children and a few romances, finally, Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck rekindled the flame of love. They met again in the spring of 2021, both being single for the first time, and announced their engagement last April.
On July 16, the couple swore eternal love to each other at the world-famous A Little White Wedding Chapel in Las Vegas, Nevada. The newlyweds chose Paris as their honeymoon destination, accompanied by their children.
Until recently, US media reported that the lovebirds were planning a big wedding with family and friends at Ben’s home in the coastal town of Riceboro, Georgia, USA.
However, the love story took an unexpected turn after, on August 5, a source close to the couple reported that Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck have decided to take time apart to focus on their personal projects, so that it is not known if the large ceremony that Bennifer had planned will take place.
