Jennifer Lopez never broke up with Ben Affleck in 2004: ‘We Never Let It Go'

Jennifer Lopez has hinted at an untold love saga with Ben Affleck spanning two decades. 

In a recent statement, Lopez suggests that despite their separation 20 years ago, she and Affleck "never let it go" and "never told a soul" about their enduring affection during that time. 

Speculating on what could have been, Lopez implies that their unspoken bond could have been "the greatest love story never told" had they not reignited their romance, leading to their marriage in July 2022. 

This revelation comes amidst Lopez's split from Alex Rodriguez in 2021.

In a glimpse into her romantic past, 53-year-old singer unveils intimate details of her relationship with Affleck through her latest track This is me…Now

She reflects on their journey with lyrics like Different roads, two lost souls / Never thought we'd find our way back. 

She delves into their physical connection, describing moments of passion with lines such as Missing your body climbing on top of me and slipp*n' inside of me.

Lopez also offers a sequel to her earlier song Dear Ben with Dear Ben, Pt. II, which revisits their relationship 22 years later. 

Amidst the intense media scrutiny surrounding their highly anticipated wedding, th couple made a difficult decision to call off their nuptials in 2003, just days before the scheduled event. 

The couple cited the overwhelming attention from the press as the primary reason for the abrupt cancellation. 

The following year, their split was officially confirmed by representatives for both parties.

Reflecting on the breakup during a recent interview with Elle, Lopez revealed that their separation was not immediate but occurred gradually over the ensuing months.
