JLo is solo again! Breaks of engagement to Ben
Affleck.
Written by Hispanicsurf.com
 January 22, 2004 -- Jennifer Lopez's string of
unsuccessful relationships continues when she and former fiancée, Ben Affleck
broke off their engagement.
A spokesperson for Lopez at Dan Klores
Communications said in a statement: "I am confirming the reports that Jennifer
Lopez has ended her engagement to Ben Affleck. At this difficult time, we ask
that you respect her privacy."
The main reason for the break-up was J.Lo's growing anger with Affleck's hard partying and wandering eye, sources said.
The last straw came Jan. 10 when he was caught on camera chatting and boozing it up with a bevy of bodacious babes in a Berlin bar with best buddy Matt Damon.
"Jennifer is a clean-living person and Ben likes partying."
Affleck's publicist, Ken Sunshine, would only say: "As usual, we never
comment on the private lives of our clients."
Lopez, 34, and Affleck, 31, have been the subject of near-constant media
scrutiny for the past year and a half.
Their romantic comedy, "Gigli," was considered the cinematic disaster of the
year before it even debuted in August. They were supposed to have married a month later, but abruptly postponed
their lavish plans "due to the excessive media attention surrounding our
wedding."
Since then, the media has followed their every move, keeping track of who
Lopez and Affleck were going, drawing a horde of paparazzi and celebrity reporters.
This would have been the first wedding for Affleck. Lopez has been married
twice before -- to waiter Ojani Noa in 1997 and to dancer Cris Judd in 2001.
