Dressed like a glamorous cowgirl in Ralph Lauren, Lopez planted a masked kiss on Affleck. Both Lopez and Affleck were wearing masks, per the Met Gala mask mandate. JLo’s mask matched her gorgeous plunging neckline dress. Affleck opted for the standard tuxedo look.
People reports that a Hollywood insider says Lopez and Affleck are taking their rekindled romance seriously. “Ben wants to protect what they have,” the insider said.

JLo’s Jaw-Dropping VMAs Look
At the MTV Video Music Awards this weekend, the “Jenny From the Block Singer” rocked a peek-a-boo lace-up skirt and crop top for the occasion. “Let’s go, VMAs,” she captioned an Instagram video of her strutting in the ensemble.
Lopez presented the award for Song of the Year to Olivia Rodrigo for “Driver’s License.” While onstage, Lopez said, “Happy 40th birthday, MTV! Tonight is your party and I’ve got to tell you, tonight it feels so good to be here in my hometown for the VMAs.”
Although Lopez attended the VMAs solo, only two nights earlier she was on Affleck’s arm at the Venice Film Festival for the premiere of his film “The Last Duel.” Page Six reports that Affleck prevented an aggressive fan from getting too close to Lopez at the airport as the pair left Italy.
The Timeline of ‘Bennifer’s’ Reunion
Lopez and Affleck were an iconic Hollywood couple in the early 2000s, but the pair ended their engagement in 2004. Lopez went on to marry musician Marc Anthony and Affleck married fellow actor Jennifer Garner.
Some babies, divorces, and a broken engagement later, Bennifer was spotted hanging out again in April 2021. In April, Page Six reported that Affleck had been photographed visiting Lopez’s home on multiple occasions.
By May, they were taking trips to Montana together. With Affleck residing in Los Angeles and Lopez in Miami, the pair reportedly put in the effort to make it work. “It’s a tricky situation since they live so far from each other, but they both seem committed to making things work,” a source told People in May 2021.
In July, the pair spent a day together at Universal Studios with their children. Lopez had her 13-year-old twins Max and Emme with her while Affleck brought his 9-year-old son Samuel.
