Jennifer Lopez ‘impressed at how Ben Affleck stepped up his game’ to prioritise rekindled romance
Jennifer Lopez is impressed with Ben Affleck’s relationship commitment as she reflects on how he’s ‘stepped up’ his game, it has been claimed.
The pair, who are reportedly firmly back on after a break of 17 years, during which time they both raised their own families, have been spotted hanging out in California, Montana and, most recently, Miami.
Ben made his way to Florida this past weekend to spend time with Jennifer, where she’s been busy working, and a source claims this dedication has gone over well with the Hustlers star who sees him ‘trying to make it work with their schedules’ as a priority.
Speaking to E! News, the insider continued: ‘He’s really making a huge effort.
‘J-Lo thinks Ben has really stepped up and loves this version of him.’
They also described Jennifer as ‘smitten’ and ‘really happy’, as well as the couple being ‘giddy together’.
Fans have also been excited to spot Ben wearing a watch that looks just like the one Jennifer famously gifted him during the Jenny from the Block music video, and which he wore throughout their relationship.
After Twitter account @jloaffleck made the connection, one user commented underneath: ‘I gotta follow because I am INVESTED.’
Bennifer headed their separate ways in January 2004, after postponing their 2003 wedding due to ‘excessive media attention’.
Ben went on to wed 13 Going on 30 star Jennifer Garner, who he shares three children – Violet, 15, Seraphina, 12, and Samuel, nine – with. They divorced in 2017.
Meanwhile Jennifer tied the knot with musician Marc Anthony in 2004 and had twins Max and Emme, 13, before separating in 2011.
Jennifer was then engaged to baseball player Alex Rodriguez until they announced they had parted ways last month.
Another insider has claimed that Ben and Jennifer’s reunion is ‘working really well for them’, commenting on their shared avoidance of alcohol now Ben is sober.
Speaking to The Sun, they continued: ‘It’s like he always held a torch for her – and she’s come back into his life at the perfect moment.’
