While Bennifer 2.0 has officially come to an end, we’ll always have a place in our hearts for the power couple. On the two-year anniversary of their unforgettable wedding, Jennifer Lopez filed to divorce Ben Affleck in August 2024 after months of speculation about the state of their relationship.
The pair’s original whirlwind romance began in the summer of 2002. The “Gigli” co-stars were quick to get engaged, but postponed their wedding in 2003, only to part ways the following year.
The former couple rekindled their relationship in 2021, after Lopez and Alex Rodriguez broke off their engagement — and fans hoped their union would last forever this time. Bennifer made it official in a small Las Vegas wedding ceremony in July 2022, and threw an over-the-top party in Georgia the following month.
Between her two wedding ceremonies, the JLo Beauty founder wore five different bridal dresses — but that’s hardly the most memorable fashion moment for the pair. Ahead, we’re looking back at their best red carpet and street style moments.
