Matt Damon has proved he is truly the biggest Bennifer fan out there with his sweet comments about Ben Affleck and Jennifer Lopez’s rekindled romance. 

It’s safe to say most of us were excited to see Ben and Jen get back together this year, but nobody is more here for it than Matt. 

The Stillwater star, 50, has always been close pals with Ben, 48, and is so happy to see him living his best life with JLo, 52. 

He told The Carlos Watson Show: ‘Oh man, no one’s pulling harder than I am. They’re both great. I just want for their happiness. They seem pretty happy right now.’

It’s not the first time Matt has gushed about his bestie’s new relationship, as he told Extra in July: ’He’s the best. He deserves every happiness in the world. I’m glad for both of them.’

Ben and Jen, who previously dated between 2002 and 2004, have been enjoying trips togetheer with their respective children since getting back together, but sources claim the pair aren’t looking to tie the knot any time soon.

A source told E!: ‘They are fully committed to each other… They have been meshing their lives and families and don’t feel the need to get engaged yet or even tie the knot. 

‘They have both been there and don’t feel it’s necessary. They are both very secure within their relationship and Ben worships her.

‘It’s truly meant to be and everyone around them thinks they are a perfect match.’

The couple have however been househunting, having been spotted looking at luxury properties in the Toluca Lake area of Los Angeles together.

A source close to Bennifer told ET Online in July: ‘Their friends wouldn’t be surprised if they move in together and ultimately end up together. They’re spending all of their free time together and making each other a priority.’

Here’s hoping their house has a spare room for Matt to stay over when he visits, too.
