Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck are Instagram official.
Jennifer Lopez is easily a HOT topic right now. The multi-hyphenated Hollywood A-lister just turned 52, a phenomenon that fans and social media users still cannot come to terms with, especially if her latest birthday shoot pictures are anything to go by: She looks ever-so-ageless! The star took to Instagram and posted bikini pictures of her smoke show self and with an accompanying caption that made the post even the more spectacualar- ‘52, what it do, ’- read the caption.
While she turned up the heat in the pictures, Lopez unabashedly also made one thing apparent: She is back on with her old flame and fellow showbiz heartthrob, Ben Affleck. This confirmation was a culmination of multiple headlines and footage that pointed to the fact that the two were back together, not so long after Lopez parted ways with baseball player Alex Rodriguez, who she was engaged to and made a myriad public appearances with.
The new pictures depict the loved-up pair sharing a sensual kiss in a yacht as they holiday in St. Tropez. In other snaps, the two are seen cuddled up to each other, with Affleck resting his palm on JLo’s butt, a picture that is very reminiscent, and an absolute remake, of a 2002 picture of the two on the set of JLo’s music video for Jenny From the Block.
Rumours of the two cosying up together again started swirling in May, just a few weeks after JLo’s split from A-Rod. Affleck would later be seen casually leaving JLo’s house, further fueling the rumours. They would later be photographed severally, with no official comment from them.
Before breaking up, the two were one of the hottest Hollywood couples in the early 00s, an Oscar-winning actor and a popular popstar-cum-actress, and were famously be known by the portmanteau, Bennifer.
