Jennifer Lopez on why she and Ben Affleck postponed their wedding and eventually broke up

Jennifer Lopez revealed in an interview with Zane Lowe on Apple Music that her relationship with Ben Affleck didn't end on the day they postponed their wedding in 2003. Instead, they remained together for a while after the delay, attempting to salvage their relationship.

The wedding delay caused doubts for both Lopez and Affleck about the future of their relationship, despite Lopez's desire to be with him forever. She admitted that they weren't mature enough to make it work, despite multiple attempts.

Lopez reflected that they both believed people should break up when things get difficult, leading them to eventually part ways.

Fortunately, their separation allowed them to find love and start families with other partners. During their time apart, Lopez married singer Marc Anthony and had two children, while Affleck started a family with his "Daredevil" co-star Jennifer Garner, resulting in three children.

Lopez noted that when they eventually reunited, both she and Affleck felt more confident as individuals. Their relationship now seems permanent, culminating in their official marriage in 2022.
