Jennifer Lopez (July 18, 2003) Ben & Jen: A Dateline Special

A Dateline special on Jennifer Lopez's relationship with Ben Affleck. The couple is interviewed.

[@maryammure1723]

you notice how she's calm and cool talking to pat but when she's being interviewed by Ben she's all giddy, talkative, she's talking over him that's love right there. she's just nervous around him. I'm like that when I'm in love. that's how I see it imo

[@SosaRosan]

Comparto ,cuando tenés pareja y hay Amor , hablas encima de lo que habla tu pareja y lo relacionas en tus conversaciones y no le perdés la mirada

Time stood still for them! What a great love story!

Watching the chemistry in the kitchen it's crazy how they ever broke up

[@taylor4200_xx]

Exactly, their chemistry was sooo palpable. I really believe that they'll last this time around.

[@Lluvia78462]

Yes

[@valenciamiller2928]

She still acts like this today...she is in love with this guy. I hope it works this time. I wish they could have had a couple kids. Oh well

BENNIFER is back! 2021 True love never dies ❤️

[@kelyerose]

here we are in 2021 and ben affleck is wearing the same bracelet jlo gave him 17 years ago. in my opinion ben saved that piece of jewelry praying he would get another chance with jlo., I like jennifer Gardner but jlo has always been the 1. I haven't seen ben or jlo this happy in years.

[@litastar2455]

Exactly happy years, not the hard addictions and dealing with kids

[@danipills]

This is my first time seeing this, and is all i need it today octuber 10th 2021 🤗

[@moochie5]

Bennifer is timeless.

Wow 5yrs ago. Hollywood has always wanted them together! ♥️♥️♥️♥️

[@andyaguilar5592]

Two marriages, 16 years later... They are together again.

[@indigobunting2431]

So happy for the whole family cheer to having great holidays what a treat to have your love back

[@deannharris2424]

I hope that if and when they decide to get married, they tell no one. I hope it’s only immediate family and a few close friends. If they take that step? I hope they don’t admit it until 2 or 3 years down the line. I’m so happy they have a second chance and after everything they went through the first time, I don’t blame them for being protective of their relationship.

[@_RS__]

I think if the two got engaged and then got married, they would only make it public after their 1st wedding anniversary and I think it's great that Ben and Jen are more careful and private now. The fact that the two of them don't talk publicly about their relationship this time is also good. There are few paparazzi pictures of the two together and that means the two are really more private now. I think that this time the two will make it and stay together because the two are now better at dealing with the media/ papz and they don't care what the outside thinks about their relationship. And the two probably don't want to lose each other again. I wish them both all the best and all the happiness in the world.

[@maruca94518]

Here in 2022 watching the love story ♥ #Bennifer

[@Jalil-wx7rh]

Look at God! Won't he do it?! These two love each other til the day they part. They can't run from it! 🖤

Bennifer is IMMORTAL

Their kids would’ve been so cute

[@valenciamiller2928]

[@rubyk445]

This interview is why I don’t mind they’re being tight lipped this time. What else do we need to know?

[@traceybracero1662]

No one is gonna say anything about that burnt ass chicken? Lol haha but I'm happy for them.

I do like Bennifer……BUT J-Rod really seemed to be smitten with each & their blended family🥰

[@Jalil-wx7rh]

Maybe with the blended family. With each other, I wasn't sure.

[@theKaufmanTapes]

Bennie Medina Rocks!

[@Jalil-wx7rh]

And he's been back with her for over 10 years. Now what?

[@litastar2455]

Honestly i wasn't surprised when they broke up the first time. He couldn't handle all the fame, he was a private guy. Also He ended up having alot of addictions he was dealing with and Jennifer Gardner really helped and supported him in a way that Jennifer wouldn't have been able to at the time.

[@B-ch6uk]

How will it be different this time? He still seems a bit camera shy and she is all about the fame and glory. Hope it works out but I don't see a big difference all these years later.

[@mariadel.6705]

@@B-ch6uk JLo has definitely made some changes. When it comes to her relationship with Ben and her kids, she's much more private now. She refuses to speak about Ben in interviews and doesn't post much about her personal life on social media anymore. She attends work events and has the occasional PDA session out with Ben but other than that, she's actually lived a pretty quiet and normal life since moving back to LA this year. Bennifer's biggest issues will be their hectic work schedules, his alcoholism, and his wandering eye. He couldn't stay faithful to the mother of his 3 children so it's hard to think he won't cheat on JLo even if he loves her.

[@MA-yc7pz]

@@mariadel.6705 This is very deep perspective 💯

[@altanaeliza]

@@mariadel.6705 She moved back to LA for him?

[@Nazaba09]

Thanks so much for uploading the Dateline special. LOVE Bennifer

[@JRobZaleta]

16:43-16:53 Oh my their chemistry is so unique. This video was split into several parts and some were missing, 3 and 5 I believe. People used to say 'oh they didnt get along well', 'Jen over talks Ben' and bla blah blah but now watching this unseen footage you can confirm they were such a great couple...

[@Kohinoor1994]

She is so obviously madly in love with him. Who wouldn't be.

[@sealife22]

I admire Jen... such a big heart.. lucky guy ben had that chance in a lifetime. no disrespect to the garner but jlo is the bomb. love her stregnth.

[@nikkibeacth]

I remember them together, when they broke up we suffered too.

and now they are together again 😍 bennifer 2.0

IT HURT SO BAD but it’s ok now.

yeah I see her Jenniferlopez very cute I real I love her best Jenniferlopez good movies I love it 😚💙💖💗💘

[@reece680]

That was my favorite couple

[@Mk-7again]

I see that she was the one in love, he even made weird faces when she talked about, him, the wedding and having kids together. I think she was the one truly in love, he was just living the moment...

[@lindavee783]

i wish they would have stayed together. Ben looks happy :)

[@Jalil-wx7rh]

Second Time Around! Bennifer 2.0!

[@alekak2990]

All i can see from this interview, that she loved him more than he did. They were beautiful couple though

[@Ravalos3260]

I agree! if he really loved her, he would've put a ring on it

[@KateTWSkittles]

+Rachel A. He did (they were engaged), but he cheated

[@jazinegrrrl]

Not only did he cheat on her but he dumped her and called off the engagement. Jennifer Lopez confesses this years later.

[@KateTWSkittles]

***** Idk if she actually confirmed it but there were articles everywhere with trust worthy sources that confirmed it

[@solyceres]

@@Ravalos3260 He did in November 2002.. He proposed to her with an expensive pink diamond ring, at his mother's house, in November 2002.

[@maryammure1723]

OK I finished watching this and I saw that Jen was all in with the getting married and kids. but bens body language I felt like he wasn't ready for all that, it was happening too soon. his body language gave it away he was very like distant. Jen was so in love he def broke her heart.

[@thermisgoddessofjustice8032]

Awwww you are spot on👌

[@mmar710]

never knew Jenn parents were divorced until I googled it tonight!no wonder she never talks about her dad...wow!!! also wanted to say this is the first time I am actually watching this video of bennifer after all these years!! was to busy with my own life when bennifer was happening! Just wanted to say Jen first of all sorry you suffered the negative effects of divorced parents! Also wanted to say I am so so sorry for the demise of bennifer. I can see in this video hoe much you loved Ben!!! sorry it did not worked out. I am a very strong feeling Ben was the real love of your life. have a feeling it he is available you would back to him in a heartbeat!!?

[@carmenlarose4072]

I agree she so HAPPY here... damn Jenny is sprung boy..This all happened while I was teen I wasn't really paying attention but this situation must of hurt months after the breakup they married other people.

[@lisat215]

Think we now know the answer to whether she’d taking him back 😆

[@AussieGirl235]

You were right. And now here we are

[@Nazaba09]

We’ve all known she’d always take him back.

[@maryammure1723]

there are a few things I'm getting here when Ben asked her if she was excited to be working with him and call her girlfriends lol she said no I didn't 2x that meant she was married. then she says we got along great our chemistry was there. but you know deep down they fell in love off set while working together

[@user-gc5gr6wy4k]
