Did Ben Affleck propose to Jennifer Lopez again?

Ben Affleck and Jennifer Lopez are once again a couple. They dated nearly 20 years ago and their romance took the world by storm.

The couple likes to keep their high-profile relationship private and low-key.

Bennifer, as fans call them, first met on the set of ill-fated Gigli. Ben proposed to Jeniffer, in November 2002 with a 6.1-carat pink solitaire.

Jennifer said:

”the proposal was traditional but also in a very spectacular way, as of course Ben would do it…it was very, very beautiful.”

That same year in January, the couple broke their engagement. Jennifer later got married to Marc Anthony and Ben got engaged to the amazing Jennifer Garner.

Earlier this week, JLo was wearing a ring on her finger, sparking rumors of her engagement to the actor.

Why did the couple end their engagement 20 years ago?

Ben and Jennifer were all set to marry after their engagement. However, their engagement could not stand the test of time, and parted ways.

Ben said that the barrage of negative media attention contributed to about 50% of their split.

Affleck revealed:

“The idea that people hate you and they hate you together and that being together is poison and ugly and toxic and the thing none of us want to be part of.”

A source close to the couple said:

”As hot and heavy as their relationship was, they were on very different paths at the end of it. Jennifer was ready to settle down and have kids, but Ben wasn’t keen on giving up his bachelor lifestyle just yet. In the end, she got tired of waiting for him to come around — even though it broke her heart to end things.”

Jennifer claimed that it was getting harder for the couple to deal with the media attention.

She said:

”I remember like stacks of magazines, and we were on it like every week. It was scary. It was overwhelming for both of us.”

Jennifer also said that the couple is trying to keep their relationship private because they get flashbacks of the publicity and media attention their relationship endured in the early 2000s.

However, the couple has made several public and red carpet appearances since they rekindled their romance in 2021.
