Ben Affleck and Jennifer Lopez are allegedly back together after their recent splits, according to a tabloid.
Ben Affleck and Jennifer Lopez were set to get wed, but they called off their wedding. Months after they pushed back their wedding, they decided to split for good. However, an outlet linked them again after his split from Ana de Armas and her separation from Alex Rodriguez.
Ben Affleck and Jennifer Lopez reconciled rumor
Ben Affleck is “still crushing on ex Jennifer Lopez,” National Enquirer reported. It made the said assumption after Affleck commented on a report about Lopez where he called her the “hardest working person” in showbusiness.
The tabloid revisited their previous relationship where Lopez said her heart had been torn out of her chest when she and Affleck split. The report claimed that Lopez and Affleck have always loved each other.
The report also claimed that their recent relationship troubles — Affleck’s split from Ana de Armas and Lopez calling off her engagement with Alex Rodriguez — have sent them back into each other’s arms.
It also quoted an insider who said Affleck always has a soft spot for his ex-fiancee, adding that he never stopped caring for her.
Rumor debunked
Gossip Cop examined the report claiming that Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck are getting closer since their respective splits. However, the rumor-debunking site doubt that it’s true because Lopez and Alex Rodriguez only announced their split last week.
Also, it’s very unlikely because Affleck has been focused on co-parenting with his ex-wife, Jennifer Garner. Affleck and Garner share three kids together Violet, 15, Seraphina, 12, and Samuel, 9.
Affleck hasn’t been romantically linked to anyone since his split from the Knives Out star earlier this year. Meanwhile, Lopez just broke up with Rodriguez and hasn’t been linked to a new man yet.
Lopez and Rodriguez update
Jennifer Lopez and Alex Rodriguez made headlines last month after several outlets claimed they split. But they reconciled following their brief separation.
Rodriguez was spotted the day after they made headlines, and he said he was not single. He also booked a flight to the Dominican Republic and spent the weekend with Lopez. Several sources claimed they got back together and were even photographed kissing in the Caribbean.
However, last week, they released a joint statement announcing that they called off their engagement because they realized that they were better off as friends. The exes also said they will continue to work together and will support each other on their shared businesses and projects.
