Lopez and Affleck were engaged in 2004, and were one of the most famous couples in Hollywood. Affleck proposed to her with a pink diamond ring. They were set to marry on September 2003, but postponed the wedding until they broke up in early 2004. Their reunion occurred in May of last year, surprising the world with their rekindled romance. They confirmed their relationship in July of last year, during Lopez’ birthday, when she shared a photo of the two on Instagram.
“I don’t think we would have got back together if we thought that was where it was headed,” said Lopez of their current relationship. “We feel like what we found again is so much more important, and how we protect that and how we live our lives.” While she said that her years with Ben were “one of the happiest times of my life,” she explained that they “were just too young to understand at that time what were really the most important things in life.”
