Ben Affleck and Jennifer Lopez reuniting has fans talking
Netizens are poking fun at the surprise reunion, referring to Ben Affleck and Jennifer Lopez’s tumultuous relationship. The couple began their whirlwind romance in mid-2002 and got engaged in November that year. However, they called it quits in 2004 before reconnecting over a decade later in 2021.
After rekindling their relationship, the couple tied the knot in July 2022. Two years later, Lopez filed for divorce from Affleck, citing irreconcilable differences. Two years after their highly publicized separation, the pair have reunited for Lopez’s upcoming film, where Affleck serves as an executive producer.
Fans are not holding back with their teasing comments alluding to their rocky relationship, with a user saying, “Here we go again”. One user jokingly wrote, “Plot twist – they never got divorced.” Another declared, “First time I have seen Ben Affleck looking happy with her.”
Despite the teasing comments, it appears that the relationship between the pair remains strictly professional. In a recent interview with Lee Cowan of CBS News Sunday Mornings, Lopez shared that she looks back on her divorce in a positive light. She also revealed that Affleck supported her in making her new movie, Kiss of the Spider Woman.
The upcoming musical drama film is an adaptation of Argentine author Manuel Puig’s 1976 novel of the same name. It is co-produced by Artists Equity, the production company established by Ben Affleck and Matt Damon. Directed by Bill Condon, the movie stars Jennifer Lopez in the lead, along with Diego Luna and Tonatiuh.
