Affleck and Lopez began their courtship in 2002 and took on the name \u201cBennifer\u201d in public. After postponing their nuptials, the duo publicly split in 2004 and both moved on to other relationships, marriages, and children.

But the negative publicity from the movie \u201cGigli\u201d put pressure on the relationship, leading Lopez and Affleck to postpone and then ultimately cancel their much-hyped wedding.
