1. The Diamond Bracelet Do you know that Ben gifted a
heavily studded diamond bracelet to J Lo when they were shooting for Giggly? They kept it a secret
because it was during the time when J Lo was still married to her second husband, but things were not
really great between the two. This bracelet incident is not really out there because J Lo
legally was another person's wife back then. J Lo realized that Ben was really into her
and she already was very fed up with her second husband, so she immediately filed
for divorce after accepting the bracelet. What a magical start to a never-ending love story.
J Lo is spotted wearing the bracelet on multiple occasions, even after breaking up with Benn so,
it seems like J Lo was also not over Benn. 2. They Got Engaged
You might be drooling over the Bennifer 2.0, but do you know that the couple even got engaged back
in the 2000s? Yes, things were this serious. Benn even proposed to Jennifer in the dreamiest
way possible. They went on a vacation to Boston together, and Benn planned a perfect proposal
for J Lo with his mother. The cherry on top was that J Lo was clueless about all this.
Ben decorated the whole house with roses, and when J Lo entered, she got tears in her eyes, and she
got so overwhelmed that she almost forgot to say, "I do." The proposal was followed by a diamond
ring worth $1.2 million with a 6-karat diamond. Though their engagement did not last long,
but it was the best proposal. 3. They Postponed The Wedding
Jen-Z might not know about it, but when Bennifer postponed their wedding,
it was a real deal-breaker for all of the fans. The wedding was postponed just a day before it
was supposed to happen, and the fans did not take it well. Many fans were heartbroken and
wanted Bennifer to be the end game. It really was sad not to see J Lo walking down the aisle,
wearing the most fairy-like gown ever. The biggest reason behind their split and failed
engagement is the paparazzi because the couple was not into too much media attention, and they
literally were getting all of it. They even had to place more than 5 fake brides at multiple
locations just so they could trick the paparazzi and get a wedding they wanted. The couple did
not want their wedding to be covered by the media because they thought it was sacred and intimate,
so it had to be private but, when they had no other choice, Bennifer postponed their wedding
just one day before the wedding date. 4. They Were Facing Media Pressure
If you are assuming that J Lo and Ben parted ways because of cheating or a big fight,
then you are mistaken because the main reason for their split was media pressure.
When the couple started dating, it became the biggest news of the year because of
Ben's popularity. The media was not sparing J Lo, and pretty harsh comments were passed
on her regarding her race which made things worst. Each and every moment of their relationship was
being recorded, and they were being followed no matter what they did. It was getting harder for
J Lo to stay in a relationship where she could not get a moment of silent walk or long drive
because there were paparazzi literally everywhere. This media pressure was a lot to handle for both
of them, and they finally decided to split up, but it was mutual, and they stayed in
touch after their breakup. 5. They Both Were Married
When the couple was working together as co-stars, they both were married. After staying friends for
a while, Benn started developing feelings for J Lo, and he soon got divorced from his own wife.
He gave a lot of hints to J Lo to show that he is interested, and J Lo finally got it.
J Lo also got a divorce, and the couple got together soon. They made their public appearance
and announced their relationship proudly, and got engaged shortly. What hell of a love story it is.
6. They Remained Good Friends As you know that their engagement ended
on good terms, and there were no ugly fights or scandals that could make things worse that is why
Bennifer stayed friends even after parting ways. They often spoke in each other's favor, and Benn
even said that J Lo should have been nominated for Oscars for her movie "hustlers." Jennifer was also
there for Benn whenever he needed her, and she remained a good and supportive friend always.
Also, the couple stayed on good terms for more than a decade, and even earlier this year,
Benn raised voice for J Lo and criticized the media, saying that the tabloids said
so many mean and vicious things about J Lo that if someone says those nowadays, he would be getting
quite a big punishment. He also added that the racist and sexist headlines regarding J Lo were
a daily routine, and he just could not handle it anymore because he knew that she does not deserve
this disrespect. The couple got together soon after this interview because why not?
7. They Have Similar Background Even though people assume that J Lo and Ben
are two opposite poles and there is nothing common between them, that is why their relationship did
not work out, but that is not the case. Their background is quite similar, and the environment
in which both of them were brought up is also alike, which makes them relate to each other and
understand things without having to say them. The couple just gets each other, and they are
meant to be together not just because of their similar background but because of their boundless
feelings for each other. These feelings started the moment they bonded over different things.
Their likes, lifestyle, and love of their family were a few things that just clicked, and just
after a few months, they were planning a wedding. 8. The Strip Club Scandal
Always being in the spotlight means you cannot get off with any mistake,
and Benn did a pretty serious mistake during his relationship, which gave the tabloids a
lot to talk about, and the headlines were only talking about the strip club incident for months.
The thing was, Benn was spotted in the strip club during the shoot of his movie.
The news spread like fire, and the media was all over it. It was particularly disturbing for J Lo
because the media was cruelly dissecting their relationship, and no one would want that to happen
to their relationship. It was soon speculated that J Lo already knew that Benn was in a strip club,
and she had no problem with it because Benn is free to do whatever he wants as
long as he stays loyal to J Lo. Well, going to a strip club is far, far away from being loyal,
but who are we to say, right? 9. Bennifer 2.0
Being the biggest celebrity couple comes with its own perks, and sometimes no matter
how much you hate the perks, you have to make your peace with them. The same happened with
Ben and J Lo when they got a nickname. They were the biggest celebrity couple back then,
and the media was doing their best to poke their nose in every aspect of their relationship,
so they went on and gave a nickname to the couple; yes, you guessed it right, it was "Bennifer."
The couple was not really fond of this nickname; in fact, they hated it but, before they even
realized it, everyone was calling them Bennifer. The funny part is that the name ofBen'ss ex was
also Jennifer, irony. And that is why they had to update the nickname to Bennifer 2.0.
10. Jenny From The Block Jenny from the block is a
song sung by Jennifer back in 2002. The song features J Lo and Ben, and it pretty much sums
up the story of their relationship. J Lo based this song on the reality that how a famous girl
just wants to live a normal life. In several instances in the song,
the couple is seen being intimate and getting captured in the cameras of the paparazzi,
which depicts how they are not even able to love each other without being afraid of the media.
