The last time the pair were together was when they were first engaged during their early 2000s relationship, but neither of them had children then.

They eventually broke it off in 2004, with Ben going on to marry Jennifer Garner while JLo married Marc Anthony, with the former couple sharing three kids and the latter two.

In fact, both records cite her romance with Ben as an influence, as she told Zane Lowe: "20 years ago I fell in love with the love of my life. And I was working on an album titled This Is Me...Then," she stated. 

"And it was all about capturing that moment in time," she continued. However, soon after the record's release and eventual success, Jennifer and Ben ended their first engagement, which she described as being a very tough time in her life.
