J-Lo Was ‘Crushed’ When She Ben Affleck Called Off Their Engagement—He Was Her ‘One Who Got Away’

Now that they’re back together, many fans are wondering why Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck split in the first place. Well, it seems that the exes-turned-lovers were on “very different paths” at the end of their relationship 17 years ago—but as we can see now, J-Lo “always” left a piece of her heart with Ben, according to a source who spoke to the New York Post’s Page Six.

The Hustlers star, 51, and Argo producer, 48, began dating for the first time after meeting on the set of Gigli in 2001. Bennifer, as they soon became known, got engaged shortly thereafter in 2002 and were set to wed in 2003.

Unfortunately, it wasn’t meant to be—at least not then. Jennifer and Ben called off their wedding and ultimately announced their split in early 2004.
