Jennifer Lopez recently spoke candidly about her first relationship with actor Ben Affleck. The couple met on the set of their movie “Gigli” in 2001 and got engaged shortly after. However, they called off their engagement just three days before their wedding in 2003.
In her new documentary, The Greatest Love Story Never Told, Jennifer revealed that the intense scrutiny that came with being Hollywood’s “It” couple was a major factor in their breakup. She described the massive amount of pressure as the reason they crumbled under the weight of their relationship.
Lopez shared that the end of their engagement was incredibly difficult for her, as she not only felt like she lost the love of her life but also her best friend. However, she believes that going through that heartbreak was necessary for both of them to grow and become better people.
Fast forward almost two decades later, in 2021, Jennifer and Ben reconnected and found their way back to each other. They got married in 2022, proving that sometimes second chances can lead to a beautiful love story.
In a recent interview, Lopez revealed that Ben used to sign off all their emails with the phrase “Not. Going. Anywhere.” It was a sign of his commitment and a sweet reminder that he wasn’t going anywhere. Jennifer expressed that their love is now stronger than ever, and there is no doubt in her mind that they are meant to be together.
It’s heartwarming to see how their relationship has come full circle, with Ben proposing again just months before their wedding. The ring he gave Jennifer had the words “Not. Going. Anywhere.” engraved on it, symbolizing their unwavering commitment to each other.
Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck’s love story is one for the ages. It shows that even after facing challenges and going their separate ways, true love can find its way back.
