Casey continued in the post to his 44,000 followers: "Jen, you are a gem. We love you so much!!!"
{{#rendered}} {{/rendered}}Ben and Jen first began dating in 2002 after meeting on set of the box office flop "Gigli," and were engaged later that year. Despite planning a wedding that was intended for September 2003, they postponed the nuptials and eventually called off their engagement in January 2004, only to reunite more than a decade later.
Casey, 47, was seen in Los Angeles Saturday morning in video obtained by the New York Post. When asked why he wouldn't be attending the ceremony, he responded, "I have other things."
