(dated 2002-04, broken engagement)

In 2002, he began dating actress/singer Jennifer Lopez, whom he had met prior to filming Gigli. The same year, his engagement to Lopez was announced, and the relationship between the two received a lot of attention by the entertainment media who dubbed the couple "Bennifer." The couple broke up in 2004 while they were due to get married on the 14th of September of that year, both blaming the media attention - including an alleged incident in which Affleck partied with Christian Slater and some lap dancers in Vancouver. This negative publicity and media attention was also brought along to the 2003 Gigli, which also was a box office failure.


The couple, who met on the set of their film Gigli, began dating just a few short months ago and has been keeping the paparazzi in business. She tells Sawyer that Affleck is "brilliantly smart, charming and affectionate" and that he proposed in a "traditional, but also in a very spectacular way." She describes Affleck as her "best friend."
