The year was 1997, and the “it” couple wasBen AffleckandGwyneth Paltrow.
The picture-perfect twosome would date until 2000, according toPeople.
The reason they split?

As the Oscar-winning actress said, “I just think we have a very different sort of value system.
Ben makes life tough for himself.
He’s got a lot of complication, and you know, he really is a great guy.

So I hope he sorts himself out” (viaInStyle).
No hard feelings, though.
Because of course both parties have moved on in the two-plus decades since they were an item.
Paltrow is married to Brad Falchuk, whileAffleck is going strong with Jennifer Lopez(viaET OnlineandHello!).
I love them both.
I hope it’s true.
That would be awesome."
