I think most of us are here for the Ben Affleck and Jennifer Lopez reunion? Even if you’re angry about it, you have to admit that it’s just dumb, fun gossip. Jennifer Lopez should have more self-respect than to get back with a guy who spent seventeen years bitching and moaning about what she did to his reputation. But I tend to think that Jennifer has her own agenda – I think her hangouts-with-Ben are less about “still being interested in Ben” and more about the fact that A) she can’t be alone and B) she wants to stick it to Alex Rodriguez for cheating on her. Perhaps all of the not-so-secret Escalade trips were all for an audience of one: A-Rod. But sure, I also think it’s probably flattering for Jen that Ben seemingly wants to reconnect like this. She wants us to know that she’s enjoying herself too:
Fans haven’t seen the last of Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck! After Affleck, 48, was spotted leaving Lopez’s L.A. home on Wednesday, a source tells PEOPLE in this week’s issue the two remain the friendliest of exes 17 years after their split.
“They have a great time hanging out,” says the source. “It’s been years since they caught up properly. They have lots to talk about.”
As the two are currently in Los Angeles, the source adds, “They plan on hanging out again.”
The exes meetup came just weeks after Lopez, 51, and Alex Rodriguez released a joint statement announcing they were ending their engagement after four years together. Multiple sources confirmed to PEOPLE at the time that it was the singer who ultimately broke up with the retired baseball player.
Yeah. The A-Rod mention was the point. Jennifer is over A-Rod, she dumped him and she wants him on pins and needles about her rebounds. I also think Marc Anthony would be up for whatever games she wanted to play too – Marc has been obsessed with her for as long as Ben Affleck. As for Ben… I think he’s fine with being used. He, uh, doesn’t seem to have a lot going on. Jennifer is probably saving him from hitting up 21-year-old Insta-models on Raya. At least for the moment. Just wait until Ben tries to convince Jen to go out for some Dunkin Donuts though.

Nope. Not here for any woman who has so many obvious self-love issues placing herself in yet another toxic relationship. It’s a vomit inducing merry-go-round. Everyone that cares about her should be dragging her to therapy.
Ben was pretty hot back in the olden times. And Jennifer looks spectacular – good genes, hard word, no drugs or alcohol, no ciggies – I hope she’s not getting back together with Ben – she deserves better.
Gigli gets rightfully panned,but i really enjoyed watching them on Jersey Girl..very under rated movie.
I love Jersey Girl. Probably my favorite Kevin Smith movie besides the first Clerks
I seem to recall Kev having to cut a lot of JLo’s part from that movie after Gigli was such a disaster. Also, he talked about how Jennifer Garner hates his guts therefore… I’m not on team JGa.
(Also, Dogma is underrated.)
Looking at old pictures of Ben kissing Jen with his eyes open, was he ever really into her?
I am living for this but JLo is no dummy, this is just to totally erase ARod talk around her and she did, it’s a genius move. And Ben is so much hotter than ARod but this is a calculated, brilliant move. No one cares about Arod without JLo.
No one cares about Arod without JLo.
+1
The pic of them in the car really highlights how much subtle work she has had over time.
Naturally stunning and amazing genes, yes.
Surgery, also yes.
Ben USED to be hot.
I’m over this “men age better than women” bullshit.
It’s always said by men too.
Errrm no. Most men peak at like 25 lol
some people just age beautifully. Others peak early and it’s all downhill from there.
No matter how much she denies: She had nose tip tweakage, and it’s great work.
Throwing another opinion in, Marc Anthony having HUGE success in music right now (Latin charts). Gee JLo wanting to keep attention on her?
Maybe I’m in the minority but this to me feels more like when Jen Aniston and Brad Pitt we’re hanging out a few months ago, suddenly friendly just in time for rewards season. It was an obvious PR stunt and that’s what this feels like too.
If it’s real and she’s just using him to be petty, I truly salute her.
Better than following 29-year-old TikTok models around social media.
She’s 32 actually.
I guess he’s the rebound and hasn’t realised that yet.
Jennifer, you in danger girl. It’s all fun and games until you’re running him through the Jack in the Box drive thru on his way to rehab.
Oh wait. Wrong Jennifer.
Jack in the Box on the way to rehab…. wrong Jennifer. 😂😂😂
For my astrology bitches, they’re both Leos and I feel like that explains a lot.
🤣🤣🤣
They have a great time teasing the media, is more like it.
I think I might be more worried for Ben than I am for Jennifer. She knows exactly the game she’s playing, and she seems to have a very clear PR head about the last couple months. Ben’s been kind of a mess. His sobriety seems fragile at best, and I have zero faith that he’s getting solid PR advice.
Get them both some sort term clicks and move on.
JLO: Master PR puppeteer. Lololol.
IMHO, this isn’t so much J-Lo wanting A-Rod “on pins and needles” as Kaiser put it. Jen kicked A-Rod to the curb, and now she’s using Affleck to shove him into obscurity. This is her way of saying to A-Rod, “Have fun being a nobody, cabròn.”
That girl on Raya is 32 years old, not 21. Get something right once in a while.
Also, could you please bring an example when Ben Affleck bitched and moaned about J.Lo specifically? Like a quote or sth? He has complained about the media attention that they received during their relationship, but never her. And J.Lo has done exactly the same. They have never spoken ill of each-other. Stop spreading misinformation.
