It's been 17 years since Bennifer ruled the world and then broke the hearts of fans around the globe by calling off their engagement.
And against all odds, Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck rekindled their romance in 2021.
Regardless of what the future holds for the A-list duo, there's no harm in looking back at simpler times when J.Lo and the "Good Will Hunting" actor dominated headlines, red carpets and just about every facet of pop culture.
Here are a dozen reasons why Ben and Jenny from the block were - and are - the ultimate Hollywood glamour couple.
