Lopez & Affleck split now official

It has been confirmed that Jennifer Lopez has ended her engagement to Ben Affleck.

A spokesman for the 33-year-old singer and actress confirmed the split on Thursday and asked the media to respect her privacy.

Lopez and Affleck were due to marry last September, but called off the wedding just days before it was due to take place, citing a media frenzy.

The pair met on the set of their movie 'Gigli' in 2001 and became engaged in November 2002.

Affleck can currently be seen on Irish screens in the new John Woo film, 'Paycheck'.
