It's not only Ben who has been married before, as JLo was married to Marc Anthony from 2004 to 2014 and the couple had twins together, Max and Emme, 14.

Jennifer also married dancer Cris Judd in 2001, with their marriage lasting around a year. She also married actor Ojani Noa in 1997 for around a year, plus she was engaged to baseball superstar Alex Rodriguez prior to reuniting with Ben.

Speaking of her wedding day, which took place 18 years after they called off their first engagement, the Marry Me actress wrote in her On the JLo newsletter: "Some old wounds were healed that day and the weight of the past finally lifted off our shoulders.
