Ben & Jen were deemed the super couple of the 2000s decade and their relationship coined the term "Bennifer." They dated from 2002 to 2004 and were even engaged, but called off the wedding due to the high amount of media attention.
The "Jenny From The Block" told the fashion magazine about their coupling and about how hard dating was way back when. "It was actually worse then. It was just crazy."
"Now at least I can show you who I am a little bit. Back then you just believed anything you read on the cover of a tabloid. Many times it wasn't true, or it was like a third of the truth."
