The two met on the set of “Gigli”, and he proposed in November of 2002. A day before their 2003 wedding, they cancelled it. Finally in 2004, they broke up, stating media attention was too much to handle.

“We didn’t try to have a public relationship. We just happened to be together at the birth of the tabloids, and it was like “Oh, my God.” It was just a lot of pressure,” said the actress and singer back in 2016.
