Bennifer is back!
I have to admit it: I am LIVING for the reunion of Ben Affleck and Jennifer Lopez this summer. It’s giving me all the nostalgia for the early 2000s — except for low-rise jeans.
They seem legit happy to be smooching again. Plus, I never liked A-Rod’s vibe, and while it was fun at the beginning of the pandemic — Ana de who?
For better or worse, Ben and Jen were the inception of the celebrity couple portmanteau!
Long live Bennifer. I hope they get married and he directs her to an Oscar.
Here’s five questions about the “reunited and it feels so good” lovebirds.
Questions
- When Bennifer got together the first time, Jen had just divorced backup dancer Cris Judd while Ben was coming off a relationship with what Oscar-winner?
- Ben and J. Lo infamously starred together in the bomb “Gigli,” but Lopez also has a small role in what other Ben Affleck dramedy, the first film from director Kevin Smith that wasn’t part of the View Askewniverse? Spoiler: She dies at the beginning.
- Ben Affleck has a storied history with the Academy Awards, winning for co-writing “Good Will Hunting” and producing “Argo,” though he was infamously snubbed in the Best Director category. Jen’s no stranger to an Oscar snub, as many had predicted her (incorrectly, it turned out) to get a Best Supporting Actress nod for what 2019 film?
- While Bennifer was going strong in 2002, Ben Affleck made a memorable appearance in the video for which of J. Lo’s songs?
- Ben Affleck has three children with Jennifer Garner, while Jennifer Lopez has two kids with ex Marc Anthony, and new reports show that the kids are hanging out together. One point for each of those kids you can name.
