Singer-actress Jennifer Lopez has
had quite the struggle for her love life. Three marriages ending in divorce and
three serious relationships that never even got to the altar (one of them due
to the pandemic) are nothing to sneeze at. One of her once-partners, whom she
met on a film set in 2001, got to the point of a 2003 wedding date, which
fizzled out due to “excessive media attention” leading to the relationship
ending a year later. J-Lo described the debacle as her “first real heartbreak;”
but as she celebrated her 52nd birthday this past weekend, hope
surprisingly shone.
Yahoo News tells us that Jennifer Lopez has left hints at having
rekindled her thing with actor Ben Affleck in a social media post celebrating
her birthday last July 25, Saturday. A post on Instagram showed a series of
photos of the now-52-year-old singer and recording actress flaunting a
not-50s-looking swimsuit body accompanied by a short caption musing on what she
wants to do that day. The first three photos were nice enough poses, but photo
number 4 showed J-Lo in an embrace with the familiar figure of Affleck, with an
epic smooch punctuating it.
The money shot is the culmination
of ongoing rumors percolating throughout this year that Lopez might try for one
more with Affleck after her most recent relationship with NY Yankees player
Alex Rodriguez crashed this past April. Interestingly, the two of them got
engaged and had a wedding planned that never panned out, similar to what
happened with her and Ben nearly two decades ago. In Rodriguez’s case COVID-19
was the wedding-killer; in the case with Affleck it was the tabloid-generated fan
frenzy over the so-called “Bennifer” power couple that soured them from
continuing their wedding in September 2003, then breaking off in January 2004.
Such paparazzi-level attention is
not unique to J-Lo, as it hounded Ben Affleck on his end too. When he married
Jennifer Garner in 2005, the latter also commented on the fandom craziness,
such as a time when she deliberately ran a yellow light to escape fans pursuing
in cars only for them to blitz through the red light after her. It may be one
of the contributing factors to her eventual 2018 divorce with Affleck. Ben was
last spotted dating Ana De Armas (“Deep Water”) in 2020, but now it looks like
Bennifer is going for Round 2. Time will tell how long this time.
