Matt Damon has had his say on best pal Ben Affleck’s reunion with Jennifer Lopez, insisting that he’s ‘so happy’ for the lovebirds.

The pair, dubbed Bennifer, have been living it up around Europe in the latest in a string of romantic getaways since surprising us all with the reunion of our noughties dreams.

Confirming what we’ve already known for a while, the Love Don’t Cost A Thing singer recently shared a very cosy photo kissing the Argo actor as they celebrated her 52nd birthday.

Y’know, in case we missed every single memo and hint that they’re back together.

Matt gave Bennifer his blessing once more during an interview with Extra, when talk eventually turned to their romance.

‘I’m just so happy for him,’ he insisted. ‘He’s the best. He deserves every happiness in the world. 

‘I’m glad for both of them.’

Bennifer previously dated in the early 2000s, and were engaged between 2002-2004.

During that time, they appeared on countless red carpets together, with the Oscar winner also popping up in his partner’s music video for Jenny From The Block.

However, it wasn’t to last and they cancelled their planned nuptials at the very last second, with Ben later marrying ex-wife Jennifer Garner – with whom he shares three children.

JLo also moved on, marrying Marc Anthony before announcing her engagement to Alex Rodriguez in 2019.

They split earlier this year, shortly before rumours of a Bennifer reunion first began.

The rekindled romance is said to be getting very serious, with reports suggesting they are planning to move in together ‘very soon’.

‘Ben and Jen are spending almost every night together when they’re not working. They plan on moving in together very soon,’ a source let slip to Us Weekly.

‘They’re fully committed to taking the next steps and spending the rest of their lives together… 

‘As far as they’re both concerned, they’re just blessed to have found each other and discovered true love, which most people can only ever dream about.’
