Ben and J-Lo 'split'
| quote: | Hollywood celebrity couple Ben Affleck and Jennifer Lopez have split up, at least temporarily, after postponing their wedding over a media frenzy, People magazine reported yesterday.
The magazine's Web site, http://people.aol.com, quoted unidentified sources as saying Affleck decided he wanted out of the relationship, but it was not certain if the break-up would be permanent.
Representatives of the pair could not be reached for comment. People magazine reported that the representatives said they had no knowledge of the break-up.
The pair, who had reportedly planned to wed today at an estate in the hills near Santa Barbara, California, said in a joint statement last Wednesday that they had postponed the nuptials because of unwanted publicity.
Lopez, 33, and Affleck, 31, are currently America's hottest celebrity couple, but doubts were cast over their engagement when stories surfaced in tabloids and magazines last month about Affleck visiting a strip club without Lopez in July. Lopez publicly shrugged off Affleck's night out.
The couple also suffered bad publicity when their first movie together, Gigli, was panned by critics and flopped at the box office in the (northern) summer.
