Once again, it appears that Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck have re-captured—or perhaps retained this whole time, in the wake of Hollywood’s continual taste for a “big star” romance—the eyes of the public as Tinseltown’s crown-prince-and-princess pairing. The fact that they’re still super interesting even after rekindling their romance in 2021 and getting married in 2022 is just a plus. More proof that loves can survive in the entertainment industry, their relationship includes public appearances and professional collaborations.
Past of the Pair
Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck started dating in 2002 after they met while filming the romantic comedy Gigli. They undeniably had chemistry, and soon, they were one of the hottest couples in Hollywood. However, their media-hounded romance ended in 2004.
After a few years apart, both of them dating other people in the interim—Jennifer was married and divorced to Marc Anthony, and Ben was married to Jennifer Garner—they ended up getting back together in 2021. Years down the line, less than two decades ago, fate was going to do its trick again.
Their Relationship Recent Highlights
Lopez and Affleck can’t seem to stay away from each other since the reunion. They walked the Priyanka-wedding train, then posted cute Instagram stories, hung out on each other’s red-carpet arms, flashed some love at all of their fans, and allowed their families to mix and mash.
Both show similar family values: the four have a family life, when children are involved, and want to make home as much like a home for them as possible. Both their sets of twins—Lopez’s Emme and Max, and Affleck’s Violet, Seraphina, and Samuel—seen hanging out together reflect these views of both the family-driven values.
Public Appearances
Lopez and Affleck are always strolling red carpets together, whether attending Lopezian star-studded movie premieres or there to throw love at each other’s professional pursuits. When they showed up, for example, at the 2024 Academy Awards, they instantly became icons of relationship goals with mommy and daddy lovingly bending like that.

While this is true, however, Lopez and Affleck have faced these pressures head-on by staying centered on one another and their intentions together.
