"We began to feel that the spirit of what should have been the happiest day of our lives could be compromised. We felt what should have been a joyful and sacred day could be spoiled for us, our families and our friends."
The couple announced their split in 2004
In January 2004, a spokesperson confirmed their split and although the reason was never divulged, Jennifer has since spoken out on their relationship breakdown.
On The Graham Norton Show in 2010, JLo explained: "I love Ben, he's a great guy, but it was a lot for both of us to be under that type of siege for two years straight.
"We were on the cover of every magazine, every week, it was just a weird thing…Our relationship, I think, did suffer because of that. That's not the only reason… but I think it definitely played a part in the dynamic of our relationship."
She later revealed in her 2014 book, True Love, that her breakup with Ben was "my first real heartbreak", adding: "It felt like my heart had been torn out of my chest."
