Ben Affleck and Jennifer Lopez

Ben Affleck and Jennifer Lopez were the talk of Hollywood when they first got together back in 2002.

The pair met on the set of the film Gigli in December 2001 and began a romantic relationship the following July when Jennifer filed for divorce from Chris Judd.

Dubbed ‘Bennifer’ by the press, they were considered one of Hollywood’s golden couples until they called off their engagement in January 2004.

Then, in April 2021, Jennifer and Ben began dating again, nearly 20 years after they first met.

They announced their engagement in April 2022 and married in a Las Vegas wedding in July 2022.

Reports emerged in September 2018 that Justin and Hailey were married which the model denied on Twitter.

Katy Perry and Orlando Bloom

Katy Perry and Orlando Bloom first met at a Golden Globes’ afterparty in 2016 and began dating almost right away.

While the pair seemed hot and heavy from the get go, they split up 10 months later in February 2017.

Their reps released a joint statement saying the couple had decided to take ‘respectful, loving space’ from each other.

Rumours emerged the pair were dating again in August 2017 when they were spotted attending an Adele concert together.

They fueled rumours further in March 2018 when Katy went out to visit Orlando while he was filming TV series Carnival Row in Prague.

Katy confirmed she was no longer single during the American Idol finale in May and she and Orlando made their red carpet debut together that September. 

They have been together ever since and are now parents to three-year-old daughter Daisy Dove.

They worked hard to keep the relationship private but rumours swirled they were going through a rough patch in 2009 and reps confirmed in March 2011 the relationship was over.

The breakup didn’t appear to last too long though as Justin described Jessica as ‘the most significant person in my life’ three months later.

Their engagement was announced in December 2011 and they married the following October in Italy.

Sylvester Stallone and Jennifer Flavan

Sylvester first met Jennifer in 1989 when he was an established actor in his early 40s and she was a 19-year-old visiting Hollywood.

They dated for four years before Sly dumped Jenniferby sending her a Fed Ex letter explaining his desire to end the relationship.

Jennifer would later recall: ‘He sent me a six-page handwritten letter, in pen. It was pretty sloppy.’ 

She later learned the real reason he ended their romance was because he was having an affair with the model Janice Dickinson.

Janice gave birth to a child that was widely rumoured to be Sly’s, but a paternity test proved otherwise.

The Rocky actor reunited with Jennifer in 1995 and they tied the knot two years later.
