Lopez has credited the intense media coverage as one of the reasons for the breakup, among other things. Notably, way back in the early 2000s, JLo and Affleck, AKA ‘Bennifer’, started dating when tabloids were starting to pick up. As a high-profile couple, this led to them being covered and almost stalked by the media.
According to reports, Affleck and Lopez broke up because they wanted different things at the time. JLo was ready to settle down and have kids, but Affleck was not at that point. The two split up in 2004, to the shock and sadness of many people.
