Marry Me, the feel-good rom-com available on Peacock, stars Jennifer as a powerhouse pop singer Kat Valdez who unexpectedly marries single dad and math teacher Charlie Gilbert (played by Owen Wilson) after her fiance is caught on camera cheating in her and their global mid-concert wedding is called off.

They were set to get married in September 2003, but cancelled the wedding due to excessive media attention and eventually broke up in January 2004.

They sparked rumors of a reconciliation soon after Jen's engagement to Alex Rodriguez broke down and then went  Instagram official with their relationship in July while on a European holiday in honor of her 52nd birthday.

Jennifer is mom to 13-year-old twins Max and Emme from her marriage to Marc Anthony, and Ben has three children with ex-wife Jennifer Garner.
