MIAMI BEACH, Fla., Dec. 30 (UPI) -- Hollywood stars Ben Affleck and Jennifer Lopez were voted the decade's worst celebrity couple in an online dating poll, it was announced Wednesday.

The actor-writer-director and singer-actress were known in the tabloids as "Bennifer" when they dated for several years in the early 2000s. They ended their engagement in 2004. Affleck is now married to actress Jennifer Garner and Lopez to singer Marc Anthony.

The Web sites Date.com, Matchmaker.com and Amor.com polled thousands of single, male and female online daters and Twitter followers in the United States, asking who they thought represented the best and worst celebrity couples of the decade.

About 50.5 percent of voters named Bennifer the worst celebrity couple. Following on their heels were former reality TV stars Jon and Kate Gosselin with 11.5 percent of the vote and pop star Britney Spears and backup dancer Kevin Federline with 10 percent. Also mentioned on the worst list with smaller percentages of the vote were Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes, Angelina Jolie and Billy Bob Thornton, Charlie Sheen and Denise Richards, Guy Ritchie and Madonna, Lindsay Lohan and Samantha Ronson, Paris Hilton and Rick Salomon, and Flavor Flav and Brigitte Nielsen.

Forty-two percent of respondents to the survey voted U.S. President Barack Obama and first lady Michelle Obama the best celebrity couple of the decade. Film stars and parents of six Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie got 15 percent of the vote, while producer Ashton Kutcher and actress Demi Moore earned 11.5 percent. Other stars with smaller percentages of the best couple vote were David and Victoria Beckham, Jay-Z and Beyonce Knowles, Ellen DeGeneres and Portia de Rossi, Heidi Klum and Seal, Chris Martin and Gwyneth Paltrow, and Howard Stern and Beth Ostrowsky.
