In a heartwarming gesture, Jennifer Lopez took to social media to honor Ben Affleck on Father's Day, showcasing her love and admiration for the actor. The 54-year-old singer shared a black and white snapshot on her Instagram stories from 2001, featuring Affleck in his role as Rafe McCawley in the film "Pearl Harbor."

Amidst ongoing rumors about their relationship, Lopez made sure to commemorate her husband's special day with a short and sweet shout-out accompanied by a white heart emoji. "Our hero," she wrote, expressing her sentiments. "Happy Father's Day."

Affleck, who shares three children – Violet, Seraphina, and Samuel – with his ex-wife Jennifer Garner, has been actively involved in co-parenting responsibilities. The former couple, who initially met on the set of "Pearl Harbor," tied the knot in June 2005 but eventually parted ways in 2015, with their divorce being finalized in 2018.

Lopez, on the other hand, is a mother of teenage twins from her previous marriage to Marc Anthony. The couple first crossed paths in 1998 but their romantic journey began in 2004 when they got engaged and married at Lopez's Beverly Hills home. However, their relationship encountered hurdles, leading to their separation in 2011 and eventually culminating in a divorce in 2014.

Notably, Affleck and Lopez were briefly engaged in 2002 after working together on the film "Gigli." Although their wedding was planned for 2004, it was abruptly called off. Nearly two decades later, the pair surprised the world with a midnight wedding ceremony in Las Vegas.

However, recent reports suggest that the couple has been facing challenges, with their $60.8 million Beverly Hills estate reportedly up for sale. An insider disclosed that Affleck was not fond of the house due to its location, which is far from his children. The source also revealed that Lopez and Affleck have been residing separately, highlighting the difficulties they are currently facing.

In a related event, Lopez canceled her "This Is Me... Live" tour, which was set to accompany her first solo album in a decade. Expressing her disappointment, she assured her fans that the decision was necessary and promised to make it up to them in the future.

Furthermore, Lopez released a documentary titled "The Greatest Love Story Never Told," shedding light on her relationship with Affleck. In the film, the couple opened up about the immense pressure they faced from tabloids, which ultimately strained their relationship and led to the cancellation of their wedding in 2003, just three days before the scheduled date.

Affleck reflected on the impact of media attention on their relationship, sharing that he had initially objected to the scrutiny surrounding their connection, while Lopez appeared more accepting of it. The couple admitted that they ultimately "crumbled under the pressure" and it became a contributing factor to their split.

Despite the challenges they currently face, it is evident that Lopez and Affleck continue to share a deep connection and a strong commitment to their respective families. Time will tell how they navigate the hurdles and find a path forward together.
