Lopez, 52, and Affleck, 49, began dating in 2002, and the power couple was dubbed “Bennifer” by the media, even getting engaged that year. They called off the wedding plans in January 2004.

Rekindling their romance in 2021, the superstars made their relationship Instagram official last year.

“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 said in an interview with People magazine.

Lopez and Affleck appeared together at the “Marry Me” premiere in February, with Lopez sporting all white for the occasion.
