In the past two weeks, we’ve been hit with Bennifer overload with news of them hanging out again, appearing at the same concert, and going on a weeklong romantic vacation to Montana together. Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck have brought back their media shenanigans with so much power that I think that cardboard cutout of Ana De Armas just stopped existing–it just vanished from this dimension. While Ben’s ex-wife, Jennifer Garner, seems fully intent to remain out of this storyline, sources are saying that the Bennifer 1.0 reunion is “good for both of them.” Oh yeah, this kind of publicity usually only comes around once in a lifetime. These two crazy kids managed to capture that magic twice!
After JLo’s engagement to Alex Rodriguez went belly-up, she hooked up with Ben for a revival of the OG Bennifer. The two have reportedly been talking since February, but things are certainly heating up now with fancy trips and lots of tabloid gossip. A source now tells People that JLo “is open to having a relationship” with Ben but she’s not making any plans:
“She wants to spend as much time with Ben as possible to see where this could go… They are certainly not making any plans about the future.”
“They have a strong connection. It’s all been quick and intense, but Jennifer is happy.”
Another source adds that the timing of Ben and JLo’s reunion was serendipitous:
“Ben and Jennifer were in the same mindset after their breakups… Whether they end up together or not it’s good for both of them now. And not that surprising.”
Meanwhile, E! News says that Jennifer Garner has no interest in this media show-pony extravaganza. Jen is focusing on her children with Ben and her own rebooted relationship:
However, a source tells E! News there’s one person who “doesn’t want to be a part of the circus or media attention in any way.” Ben Affleck’s ex-wife, Jennifer Garner…
“She’s trying to live her life and raise her kids and the last thing she wants to be doing is be dealing with Ben’s love life… Her focus is always on the kids’ happiness and Ben being a good father.”
Those “sources” better be careful with saying that Jennifer Garner doesn’t want any “media attention.” Because the next time she decides she wants to hit the pap stroll with her robot hamburger boyfriend and texts the paps, they’re going to hit her back with a couple of sad emojis and the note: “Oh, we thought Miss Doesn’t Want Media Attention was done with us!”
