Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck ‘Plan’ to Spend More Time Together After First Hangout ‘in Years’
Newly-single Jennifer Lopez made headlines last week when she and her '00s ex-fiancé Ben Affleck were photographed spending time together at her house in Los Angeles. While multiple outlets were told by sources that they are just friends, People got new intel today about what is in store for Bennifer's future. Their hangout was not a one and done thing—and it came after the two hadn't spent time one on one together in years.
As a source explained, “They have a great time hanging out. It's been years since they caught up properly. They have lots to talk about.” The source added that since the two single stars are both in Los Angeles currently, they intend to spend more time together. “They plan on hanging out again,” the source said.
Affleck and Lopez dated from July 2002 to January 2004. They called off their September 2003 wedding, broke up, then got back together before ultimately ending their relationship for good in early 2004.
When her publicist confirmed the split, the rep touched on that: “I am confirming the reports that Jennifer Lopez has ended her engagement to Ben Affleck,” Lopez's publicist told People in January 2004. “At this difficult time, we ask that you respect her privacy.”
Ahead of Affleck and Lopez's 2021 hangout, Affleck gushed about Lopez in InStyle's May 2021 cover story on her. “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,” Affleck said of his ex and Gigli co-star. “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.”
