Jennifer Lawrence Shares How She Really Feels About Ben Affleck And Jennifer Lopez's Reunion
Back in the early 2000s, Ben Affleck and Jennifer Lopez were deemed one of the world's most powerful celebrity couples. As you may have guessed (or most likely already know), their relationship came to an end, as most celebrity couplings do. But in May 2021, news of a possible "Bennifer" reunion came to light after the pair were photographed enjoying each other's company on numerous occasions (via People).
During an appearance on "The Bitch Bible" podcast alongside her friend, Heather McMahan, Hollywood superstar Jennifer Lawrence shared her thoughts on the rumored reconciliation. "Breaking f—— news," the actress gushed. "Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck are back together. They're in Montana. They are on vacation with each other right now." She concluded, "I'm so excited!"
Per E!, Lawrence and McMahan then went on to discuss the color of Lopez's previous engagement ring from her ex-fiancé, Affleck (yes, they were engaged at one point). The 6.1-carat pink diamond ring in question set Affleck back a whopping $2.5 million when he popped the question, via Harper's Bazaar. The bling wasn't enough to salvage their relationship, however, and after postponing their wedding day back, Affleck and Lopez eventually called it quits in early 2004.
Jennifer Lawrence isn't the only celebrity to comment on the 'Bennifer' reunion
Jennifer Lawrence is one of the most relatable celebrities out there, and a lot of us are sharing her excitement about Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck's reunion — after all, what's better than early 2000s nostalgia? But as Entertainment Weekly reported, close friend and collaborator of Affleck's, Matt Damon, also shared his thoughts on the speculation surrounding the former couple. "There's not enough liquor in the world for you to get me to say something about that," Damon said during an appearance on NBC's "Today." Speaking to hosts Savannah Guthrie and Hoda Kotb, the actor continued, "I hope it's true. I love them both. That would be awesome."
As People reported, rumors of "Bennifer" 2.0 went into overdrive when the pair were spotted taking a trip to Montana, where Affleck is believed to own a ski chalet. Speaking to the publication, a source revealed that Lopez "is happy with him and enjoys spending time with him."
"[Jennifer] spent several days with Ben out of town. They have a strong connection. It's all been quick and intense, but Jennifer is happy," the source added. Time will tell if these two are truly meant to be.
