Matt Damon suggests Ben Affleck and Jennifer Lopez’s reunion is ‘true love’

Matt Damon has dropped the L-bomb when talking about Ben Affleck and Jennifer Lopez, and isn’t this all feeling like a fairytale?

Seventeen years after they ended their engagement, Bennifer are back together, and the reunited couple are touring their love around Europe on a super-yacht, as all celebrities should do.

And Ben’s bestie Matt has suggested that this isn’t just a nostalgic fling, but ‘true love’.

The Informant star appeared on SiriusXM’s The Jess Cagle Show to promote his new film Still Water when host Jess said: ‘You’re very happy for Ben Affleck and Jennifer Lopez. I know you love getting asked about that.’

Matt, 50, said: ‘Right. But how else would I be? Like, would I be unhappy? Like, “I hate true love.”’

The star continued to joke: ‘It sucks. Yeah. Yeah. I wish them nothing, but you know, hardship.’

Matt, who wrote Good Will Hunting with Ben, previously said he was ‘so happy’ for his friend, telling Extra: ‘He’s the best. He deserves every happiness in the world. I’m glad for both of them.’

It doesn’t look like Ben, 48, and Jen, 52, are experiencing too much hardship at the minute, as the pair were papped aboard on the yacht Valerie, which is worth a mind-boggling €110,000,000 (£93m).

The Gigli co-stars were pictured chatting while catching some rays on deck, with Ben sporting a grey and pink tie-dye t-shirt and aviator shades.

Meanwhile, JLo oozed Mediterranean glamour in a red and white bandeau top and a pair of white trousers.

The couple have been pictured in St Tropez, Monaco and Capri so far, and basically broke the internet by recreating the infamous bum patting scene from JLo’s Jenny From The Block video while sunbathing on deck.

While Ben and Jennifer had been pictured kissing over lunch and cuddling on strolls, they officially confirmed their relationship via an Instagram post celebrating JLo’s 52nd birthday.

After sharing a few pictures of herself looking fire in a bikini, Jennifer posted a snap of her kissing her beau, proving that Bennifer is most definitely back on.

Ben and Jen initially got together in 2002 after meeting on the set of Gigli, and got engaged in November of that year.

However, days before they were due to get married in 2003, the couple called off the wedding due to excessive media attention, and split up in January 2004.

Since then, both stars have got married and had children – Ben shares three kids, Violet, 15, Seraphina, 12, and Samuel, nine with ex-wife Jennifer Garner, and Jennifer is mum to 13-year-old twins Emme and Maximilian with her former husband Marc Antony.

However, after Ben’s split from Ana de Armas and Jennifer’s break-up from fiancé Alex Rodriguez, the exes reconnected, and needless to say, showbiz lovers the world over have lost it.
