They've been separated for more than a decade now, but it looks like ex-couple Ben Affleck and Jennifer Lopez just can't help but name drop each other in their interviews. And now, fans can't help but wonder if the two Hollywood stars are secretly still in love with each other, but simply just don't want to admit it.

While Ben has definitely has a smile on his face every time he thinks of his ex-girlfriend, Lopez has just admitted that she'll always have a "genuine" love for the man that she was supposed to marry back in 2004.

According to Xpose on Friday, Lopez admits that if things worked out differently for them, they would still be together today. After being dubbed "Bennifer" by the media, Lopez and Affleck broke up because of what many say was extreme media scrutiny of their very flashy and lavish lifestyle. Affleck went on to marry Jennifer Garner while Lopez was married to Latin heartthrob Marc Anthony from 2005 until their separation in 2011.

Lopez explains, "I think different time different thing, who knows what could've happened, but there was a genuine love there.''

She added, "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.''

Affleck separated with Garner last year, although the ex-couple is still living together and raising their three children together while Lopez has been in an on-again, off-again relationship with back up dancer Casper Smart.
