Ben Affleck Is ‘the Love’ of Jennifer Lopez’s ‘Life’: ‘In Her Mind, They’re Destined to Be Together’

Jennifer Lopez is pulling out all the stops in a desperate bid to win back ex-husband Ben Affleck — but sources say pals are warning Ben he’d be bonkers to bless Bennifer 3.0!

The pair, who notched a broken engagement in the early 2000s and filed for divorce in 2024 after a disastrous two-year marriage, put on a tender display while promoting their new movie in New York City earlier this month.

Ben, 53, served as an executive producer on the flick, Kiss of the Spider Woman, which stars J.Lo.

The diva, 56, snuggled up to her former spouse during a surprise red carpet reunion — and he flirted right back.

“J.Lo had a wonderful time with Ben and says he’s as sexy and wonderful as ever,” an insider says exclusively to the National Enquirer.

“In her mind they’re destined to be together again, plain and simple. She’s believed that all along and now she’s even more convinced that it’s a case of when, not if, it’s going to happen.”

As readers know, J.Lo struggled to move on after Ben gave her the heave-ho. Sources previously said how he found her narcissistic and controlling, while she grew frustrated by his grumpy attitude and stubborn refusal to embrace the spotlight as the prom king and queen of Hollywood.

Following the split, the Enquirer revealed how J.Lo dabbled in no-strings hookups that went nowhere.

“None of those guys could hold a candle to Ben,” explains a source. “He’s the love of her life in every respect.”

The pair also clashed over selling their marital home, which continues to rack up huge costs, as prospective buyers balk at the eye-popping $52 million price tag.

But they were clearly in sync during their recent outing, with insiders noting the white-hot chemistry between them.

Ben fueled the reunion buzz by gushing over Jen’s performance in the film, telling Extra, “She’s fabulous, although that shouldn’t be any surprise to anyone.”

Adds an insider, “It’s common knowledge among Ben’s friends that he still finds Jen wildly attractive. The fact she’s pursing him so aggressively is no doubt a big boost to his confidence.

“It’s by no means impossible that sooner or later he’ll give her another shot. But people in Ben’s world think this would be a huge mistake, and they’re reminding him how miserable he was when they were together.”
