If you’re a Bennifer fan, you may want to know when Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck got back together or at least started talking again. News broke of Ben and J-Lo’s reunion in April when Page Six reported that the former couple have been “spending” time together weeks after the Selena star’s breakup with Alex Rodriguez.
The newspaper reported at the time that Ben has hung out at least three times at J-Lo’s $28 million house in Los Angeles. To keep their meetups a secret, Ben is picked up in a white Escalade SUV at the Hotel Bel-Air by J-Lo’s security and driven to the “On the Floor” singer’s home, where he stays for a few hours before he’s returned to his car at the Hotel Bel-Air parking garage. Security picks him up at a nearby location and drops him off after spending a few hours at her house,” Page Six’s insider said.
People also reported on Monday, May 10, that J-Lo and Ben spent “several days” together in Montana at a resort in Big Sky, where Ben has a home. “[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,” a source said. People also reported that Ben and J-Lo were pictured in a car together in Montana, with Ben behind the wheel and J-Lo in the driver’s seat. After their vacation, Ben and J-Lo were seen arriving back in Los Angeles together on Saturday, May 8, on a private jet.
According to TMZ, J-Lo and Ben stayed in Bozeman, Montana, and when they arrived at LAX’s Signature Terminal together, they both took the same SUV and drove to J-Lo’s Bel-Air house. A source also told TMZ that J-Lo and Ben looked “very much like a couple.” E! News reported that J-Lo and Ben spent week at the Yellowstone Club in Montana together after filming separate appearances at the VAX LIVE concert in Los Angeles on May 2. “They were alone,” the insider said. “Just the two of them.”
So when did Bennifer become a thing again? Well, TMZ reported on Tuesday, May 11, that Ben first reached out to J-Lo in February—two months before her breakup with A-Rod. A source told the site that Ben started to email her while she was in the Dominican Republic filming her upcoming movie, Shotgun Wedding. The insider also claimed that the emails weren’t friendly but more “loving and longing” for J-Lo.

TMZ reported that, after seeing pictures of J-Lo in the Dominican Republic, Ben emailed her to tell her how beautiful she looked and how he wished he could be there with her. At the time of the emails, Ben was in Boston filming his upcoming movie, The Tender Bar, while J-Lo was still engaged to A-Rod. As for J-Lo’s response, TMZ reported that the “Let’s Get Loud” singer told her ex-fiance how she always liked his writing and how he’s always able to “own her heart” with his words.
TMZ also reported that Ben and J-Lo continued their communication until the “On the Floor” singer finished filming in April, the same month she split from A-Rod. The sources claim that there was no physical contact between J-Lo and Ben, despite the romantic emails.
J-Lo and Ben, who starred together in movies like Jersey Girl and Gigli, got engaged in 2002 months after J-Lo announced her divorce from her husband at the time, Cris Judd. The couple ended their engagement in 2004 but have remained friends. For InStyle’s May 2021 cover, Ben talked about what it’s been like to see his ex “getting the credit she deserves” in her career after all these years. “I thought I had a good work ethic, but I was completely humbled and blown away by what she was committed to doing day in and day out, the seriousness in which she took her work, the quiet and dedicated way she went about accomplishing her goals, and then how she would go back and redouble her efforts,” he said.
He continued, “She remains, to this day, the hardest-working person I’ve come across in this business. She has great talent, but she has also worked very hard for her success, and I’m so happy for her that she seems, at long last, to be getting the credit she deserves.”
