Jennifer Lopez stuns in sexy, low-cut gown as she makes red carpet return with Ben Affleck

The couple known as ‘Bennifer’ is officially back, with Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck appearing on a red carpet together for the first time in nearly two decades.

Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck – aka the couple known as “Bennifer” – have strutted the red carpet at the Venice Fim Fesival.

Wearing a white figure-hugging gown, Lopez, 52, was seen holding hands with Affleck, 49, who plays the role of Count Pierre of Alençon in Ridley Scott’s upcoming historical drama The Last Duel.

The pair, who were famously engaged in the early 2000s, got back together in April, after Lopez split from ex-fiance, Alex Rodriguez.

Page Six reports that prior to their red carpet appearance, Lopez and Affleck were spotted enjoying some quiet one-on-one time on the balcony of their five-star hotel.

Writing in her 2014 memoir True Love, Lopez said the end of her engagement to Affleck “felt like my heart had been torn out of my chest”.

Speaking about the relationship again in 2018, Lopez told Vanity Fair: “I lost my sense of self, questioned if I belonged in this business, thought maybe I did suck at everything”.

“And my relationship [with Ben] selfdestructed in front of the entire world. It was a two-year thing for me until I picked myself up again.”

Last year, Affleck told the New York Times that he and Loez had kept “in touch” over the years.

“She’s the real thing,” Affleck said. “I keep in touch periodically with her and have a lot of respect for her. How awesome is it that she had her biggest hit movie at 50? That’s f***ing baller.”

The last time Affleck and Lopez walked an official red carpet together was in February 2003 at the premiere of Daredevil, when they were still engaged. They split months later in January 2004.

In July, Lopez and Affleck arrived in Italy to celebrate Lopez’s birthday on a mega-yacht. The Hollywood A-listers then made their way back to Europe earlier this week for the Venice Film Festival.

Lopez and Affleck appear to be going strong and were rumoured to be shopping around for a mansion together in Los Angeles, per the New York Post.
