Jennifer Lopez reportedly continues to hold onto Ben Affleck reconciliation hopes, following their recent split. Despite finalizing their divorce earlier this year, a source suggests Lopez believes there may still be a future for herself and Affleck, keeping the possibility of rekindling their romance alive.
Lopez Reportedly Optimistic About a Possible Future With Affleck
An insider claims Lopez remains confident that she and Ben Affleck will reunite. In the words of one source,
“In her mind, they’re destined to be together again, plain and simple.”
The same insider added,
“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.”
These statements, which come after the couple’s split, indicate that Lopez is not entirely ready to move on, even if close friends say they are not officially back together.
Bennifer’s Complex Relationship History
The couple, known in pop culture as “Bennifer,” have experienced a dramatic journey over the years. Their relationship first reached headlines in 2002 with a high-profile engagement, only to be called off merely days before their planned wedding. Nearly two decades later, Lopez and Affleck rekindled their connection, leading to a Las Vegas wedding in 2022. However, this second chance at love ended two years later, when Lopez filed for divorce in August 2024. The split became official in early 2025, bringing their second chapter to a close.
Continued Professional Collaboration and Public Appearances
Despite the end of their marriage, Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck have managed to maintain a friendly relationship. Their dynamic was seen in late 2025, when the pair appeared together on the red carpet at the premiere of Kiss of the Spider Woman in New York. Lopez took the starring role, while Affleck served as producer. Observers noted her ease and happiness next to her former partner, and some witnesses remarked on the genuine warmth and affection in their public interaction, sparking rumors of a possible reunion.
No Official Reunion, But the Door Remains Open
Those closest to the couple, including friends and other sources, have stated that Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck are not romantically involved at present. Both individuals have focused on their personal projects and maintain professional support for each other. Still, Lopez’s continued optimism about rekindling their relationship means that Ben Affleck reconciliation hopes are far from extinguished. As it stands, supporters of the couple will continue to watch for any new developments, as Lopez apparently remains open to the possibility of another chapter.
