In sensational news coming in from the American entertainment industry, former couple Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck are back together and for good reasons! According to PEOPLE magazine “Bennifer” are in a relationship after their much-publicized split 17 years ago.
According to confirmed sources the duo took a trip to Montana together last week.
E! News said that the couple appeared separately at the recent VAX Live Concert in Los Angeles however they headed to the posh Yellowstone Club in Montana together. They stayed there for about a week.
Daily Mail captured the duo driving to Montana where Ben Affleck has a home.
JLo and Ben got engaged way back in November 2002. The ‘D day’ was scheduled for September 2003 albeit a few days before the Santa Barbara nuptials the couple decided to postpone the grand event which sent shockwaves across Hollywood.
In a joint statement the couple told ABC, “Due to the excessive media attention surrounding our wedding, we have decided to postpone the date.”
The couple broke up in January 2004.
Jennifer described it as her “first real heartbreak.”
Since then the pair traversed their own paths, got married, had children, and worked towards their individual career projects.
J.Lo then married her long-time friend Marc Anthony with whom she had children. Unfortunately, the relationship didn’t last and before long she began dating former baseball player Alex Rodriguez with whom she was last engaged.
Ben Affleck has always been a media person however his relationship with Jennifer Lopez garnered immense media scrutiny. In GQ’s words, he came to be known as the “world’s most exposed actor.” The intense media scrutiny was said to be one of the prime reasons for the couple’s high-profile break-up.
Ben went ahead and married Jennifer Garner in June 2005 however they officially filed for divorce after several years of being together in April 2017. They have three children.
Even though Affleck and J.Lo split, both continued to remain in touch as friends.
When it comes to people’s reactions to their relationship, Ben’s co-star and friend Matt Damon was careful in choosing his words. All he told Today during an interview was that both Ben and Lo were his good friends and he hopes the news of them reuniting is true.

The same reaction couldn’t be expected from Lopez’s ex-fiancé Alex Rodriguez though. A source close to E! News said that he’s saddened that she’s moved on. He truly had hopes that they would reconnect and make it work.
For now “Bennifer” seem to be on cloud number nine! A source close to In Touch said, “Ben and Jennifer are smiling from ear to ear, catching up on all they’ve been through, talking about their kids, projects, it’s like two old friends reuniting.”
