Once very public about her love life, Jennifer has gone through three marriages and a failed engagement. She is the mom of twins Emme and Max with ex-husband Marc Anthony. While dating Ben Affleck, “Bennifer” gave birth to the trend of blending celebrity couples names together, and being referred to by the combination of each others’ first names. After dating back up dancer Casper Smart from 2011 to 2016, Jennifer was then rumored to be seeing Drake. She then went on to date New York Yankees star Alex Rodriguez, with whom she was in a relationship from 2017 until their engagement ended in 2021. Shortly after her split from the baseball player, the “On The Floor” singer rekindled her romance with Ben Affleck, and they eventually tied the knot in 2022. However, in 2024, they filed for divorce.
