The star couple met in the early 2000s and became known as "Bennifer" in the press. They planned to get married in the fall of 2003, but instead went their separate ways.

In 2022, the couple finally got married in Las Vegas, after rekindling their spark a year earlier. But now, their marriage seems to be falling apart.

Affleck's documented love for donuts ended up in focus during a

for the low-price coffee chain Dunkin Donuts during the Super Bowl 2023, with Affleck playing the role of a stressed employee and J Lo as a customer. "Is this what you do during the day when you say you're working?", Lopez asks when she discovers her then-husband at the cash register.

Going viral at the Grammy Awards (2023)

The couple Affleck and Lopez went
