Ever since she entered the spotlight, Jennifer Lopez’s love life has been scrutinized under a microscope. From her decades-spanning romance with Ben Affleck to her rumored dalliance with Drake, Lopez’s list of suitors continues to captivate the public’s imagination.
It’s a fascination that her ninth studio album This Is Me … Now and the accompanying movie-musical bolstered. The singer nods to the many high-profile relationships that preceded and followed her most recent relationship with Affleck, and she also acknowledges her hopeless romantic tendencies. As she says while narrating the trailer for This Is Me … Now: A Love Story: “Whenever someone asked me what I wanted to be when I grew up, my answer was always: ‘In love.’”
Ahead, we track all of Lopez’s marriages, engagements, and relationships—from her partnership with singer Marc Anthony to her broken engagement with Alex Rodriguez.
Ben Affleck (2021—2024)
Bennifer surprised fans across the world when they rekindled their romance in April 2021, nearly two decades after calling off their initial engagement. Things quickly got serious, with Affleck and Lopez getting engaged for a second time the following year.
“Did you ever imagine your biggest dream could come true?” Lopez asked in a special edition of her fan newsletter, On the JLo. “Saturday night while at my favorite place on earth (in the bubble bath), my beautiful love got on one knee and proposed. I was taken totally off guard and just looked in his eyes smiling and crying at the same time trying hard to get my head around the fact that after 20 years this was happening all over again, I was quite literally speechless and he said, ‘is that a yes?’ I said YES of course that’s a YES.”
