Britney Spears is pregnant, Avril Lavigne has a new album, Lindsay Lohan is getting deals again, and JLo and Ben Affleck are engaged the second time around. It’s safe to say that the early 2000s are making a return!
Twenty years after the early 2000s hit couple first laid eyes on each other on the set of Gigli, and 17 years after breaking off their first engagement and their eventual split as a couple, the accolade-studded actor is back with Jenny from the Block.
More than two decades after their first shot at romance, their second try at a relationship began in April of 2021 when Ben Affleck was spotted in a white SUV, supposedly on the way to visit JLo in her residence.
Talks of the two getting back together were still unclear, but close friends and family members said they wouldn’t be surprised if they ended up together again.
The two were again spotted together in Miami a week later, where an insider confirms that the two are finally “full-on dating and very happy together.” Over the next few months, the now-official couple was spotted a couple of times together.
In an interview on Zane Lowe’s Apple Music radio show in July, Jennifer Lopez talked about how she’d “never been better” and “the best time” of her life.
In the same month, while the two were spotted house-hunting in Beverly Hills and Bel Air, a couple’s close friend said that they were “fully committed” to a future together, and they planned on moving in together very soon.
Despite the recent activities and spots at the time, JLo and Ben did not officially confirm the status of their relationship. Although there were hints like in an interview regarding her latest song with Lin-Manuel Miranda where she said that her song was relevant and that the “message of loving one another and coming together and love, is never more relevant than it is right now,” everything was technically just a rumor.
Fast forward to a couple more events and sightings, and the rest of the world finally believes in second chances at love; the two finally confirm their engagement.
Donning a green diamond engagement ring in contrast to her first 6-carat pink diamond ring, the singer-songwriter confirmed their plans to get married soon. In a video posted by JLo on Twitter on April 8, 2022, she shows off the beautiful green ring.
In another interview, she reveals that Ben Affleck proposed on April 2 while she was in the bathtub. Lopez says she enjoyed her time in a bubble bath, and Affleck got on one knee and proposed. Long story short, she says yes, and all Bennifer fans have come out of their caves after 20 years to celebrate the two reuniting.
As of the moment, there aren’t any updates as to when the couple plan to get married or where they’ll host the wedding, but we’re sure it’s going to be just as exciting and beautiful as we’d hoped it to be 20 years ago.
