Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck Are Living Apart Amid Breakup Rumors

"Last night we flew to Vegas," she continued, "stood in line for a license with four other couples, all making the same journey to the wedding capital of the world."

The Selena star—who shares 16-year-old twins Max and Emme with ex-husband Marc Anthony—and the Air director—who co-parents Violet, 18, Seraphina, 15, and Samuel, 12, with ex-wife Jennifer Garner—went on to have a second wedding ceremony in Georgia in August 2022.

The marriage milestone marked a full circle moment for the pair, whose romance first began in the early aughts. 

In fact, as Lopez explained to Apple Music's Zane Lowe in 2022, their 2004 breakup—which, at least in part, was the result of intense media scrutiny—was deeply painful.

"Once we called off that wedding 20 years ago, it was the biggest heartbreak of my life," she explained. "I honestly felt like I was going to die."

Lopez added that the split "sent me on a spiral for the next 18 years where I just couldn't get it right. But now, 20 years later, it does have a happy ending. It has the most 'would never happen in Hollywood' ending."

Though the duo was elated at their reconciliation, they did admit to having different perspectives on life in the public eye.

Reflecting on their early 2000s relationship in Lopez's The Greatest Love Story Never Told documentary, Affleck noted, "Getting back together, I said, 'Listen, one of the things I don't want is a relationship on social media.' And then I sort of realized it's not a fair thing to ask."

"It's sort of like you're gonna marry a boat captain and you go, 'Well, I don't like the water,'" he explained. "We're just two people with kind of different approaches trying to learn to compromise."

E! News has reached out to Lopez and Affleck's reps but has not received comment.
