In the event that you've blocked out the entirety of 2002, Jennifer Lopez dated Ben Affleck and their couple name was #Bennifer. He even made an appearance in her video for Jenny from the Block. The two also featured together in 2003 crime-romance Gigli.
"I was eviscerated," she told Vanity Fair of Gigli's aftermath (and of her highly publicised breakup with Ben). "I lost my sense of self, questioned if I belonged in this business, thought maybe I did suck at everything."
She says it took her two years to get over the downfall of her relationship and the movie's bad reviews: "My relationship [with Affleck] self-destructed in front of the entire world. It was a two-year thing for me until I picked myself up again."
Nowadays, Lopez is in a relationship with Alex Rodriguez and her career is going from strength to strength. Affleck is currently dating Lindsay Shookus.
