Jennifer and Ben got married in 2002 but divorced in 2004. They appeared together in the films Jersey Girl and Gigli. They delayed their wedding in 2003 only days before they were supposed to go down the aisle, and they divorced in January 2004. Jennifer has now spoken out about her reservations about reuniting with Ben in an interview.
Jennifer noted in an interview with People Magazine, “Before, we kind of put [our relationship] out there.” We were naive, and it was crushed a little. ‘Wow, we’re so thrilled, and we don’t want any of that to happen again,’ we both said. Now that we’re older, smarter, and have more experience, we’re at different stages of our lives, and we have children, we have to be extremely aware of those things. We’re quite guarded because this is such a special time for all of us.”
She added, “It’s beautiful the way it feels, very different than it was years ago. There’s more of an appreciation and a celebration for it, which is nice. It was, ‘Oh wow, we’re not used to this and it’s really beautiful.’ But also we’re at a different point in our lives and who we were then and what we’ve done in our lives since then.”
Jennifer continued, “I think people know that we’re artists who are going to be around for a long time and that’s nice and they appreciate that and respect that. I feel that and I appreciate that too.”
