It’s been 10 years since Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck called off their engagement, but Andy Cohen isn’t ready to forget the Hollywood power couple that was Bennifer.

During an appearance on “Watch What Happens Live” on Thursday, Bravo’s former head of development-turned-host grilled the “I Luh Ya Papi” about her influence on the actor, 41.

“In the moment, I was a celebrant of Bennifer. My question that I wanted to ask you is, was the transformation of Ben Affleck your doing? Did you dress him when you were dating him? Because that was the big rumor at the time,” Cohen said.

“Yeah, I did kind of like say, ‘You need to be … you’re a movie star, you should wear a suit! You should do this with your hair!'” she replied. “For sure. I mean, I do that and by the way, guys do that to girls too.”

“He obviously went along with it,” Cohen said.

“He was into it. He didn’t do anything he didn’t want to do,” said Lopez, 44.

“White cashmere overcoats,” Cohen chimed in.

“He had some good moments, good fashion moments when he was with me,” Lopez responded.

While she only had nice things to say about her former fiancé, when Cohen asked, “Who is better in bed: actors, singers or dancers?,” Lopez’s old flame took a backseat to those in the music industry. (Lopez was married to dancer Cris Judd, dated Sean “P. Diddy” Combs and was married and had children with crooner Marc Anthony.)

“I have to say that in my limited experience … I would have to say anybody involved in music, so I would say singers and dancers,” she said.

Lopez recently called it quits with Casper Smart, a backup dancer and choreographer, whom she dated for two-and-a-half years.
