Ben + Jen = Bennifer
Yes, it's official. Bennifer is back where they belong: together. Hollywood's hottest showbiz couple knows again what they already knew back then: ‘We belong together.’
Yesterday, Jennifer Lopez confirmed the news on her own Instagram by sharing some not-so-revealing bikini photos and then showing a picture of Ben holding her tightly in his arms. After I was allowed to come off heart monitoring (I needed a moment to recover) how handsome a person can be) I did a little dance because the romantic in me loves it when old loves find each other. There wasn't really a genuine reason for the break-up other than the sickening amount of media attention. Anyway. Let's go back to how it all started.
2002: Ben and Jen star together in the romcom Gigli. That Jennifer is still married to Chris Judd and that the film is a flop doesn't interest anyone at all. Bennifer is born and that's what it's all about in the end.
Here you can take in the entire love life of J.Lo in a nutshell.
2002: Ben appears in the music video Jenny From the Block.
She on a little boat, he sniffing her pink shorts. I totally get it.
2002: Put a ring (worth 2.3 million) on it
Why wait if it feels right? Ben goes down on one knee with a Harry Winston ring worth a hefty 2.3 million dollars.
2003: Together they star in Jersey Girl
Another little flop on Jen's resume, but she knew she wasn't Meryl Streep. And she had her love to keep her warm.
2003: Marriage is postponed
Just before The Date, they issue a press release stating that they have decided to postpone the wedding. Something that should be the most beautiful day of their lives is overshadowed by media attention. She has lined up four fake weddings to shake off the paparazzi and realizes that it's actually madness. Probably there's a little gnawing and a crack underneath because in…
… January 2004 the spokesperson for Jennifer announces that it is over between Jennifer and Ben Affleck.
June 2004: Jennifer is together with her childhood friend Marc Anthony with whom she has two children and with whom she ultimately stays for ten years.
And now, after both having known other loves and having had children, they are a fact again: Bennifer.
Now just Brad and the other Jennifer and you won't hear from me again.
