Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck are feeling the love.
The pair nearly broke the internet earlier this month when they made their highly anticipated red carpet debut at the Venice Film Festival to support Affleck’s new film The Last Duel.
As OK! previously reported, after the 49-year-old was done posing for photos, the Way Back star casually opened the door to the car behind him as a stunning Lopez emerged — and the crowd erupted into cheers. Holding hands, the lovebirds made their way down the red carpet as camera flashes followed their every move.
The reunited power couple — who claimed they canceled their 2003 nuptials due to “excessive media attention” before splitting the following year — have been happily courting attention this time around.
From recreating their 2002 yacht-sunbathing spectacle this past July to hitting Universal Studios with their respective kids, subtlety isn’t exactly their forte. (Lopez shares 13-year-old twins Max and Emme with ex Marc Anthony, while Affleck shares Violet, 15, Seraphina, 12, and Samuel, 9, with ex-wife Jennifer Garner.)
Don't expect anything to change, either. “Things just keep getting better for J.Lo and Ben,” says an insider. “All the support means so much to them."
However, sometimes the attention can be a bit too much: Affleck was forced to step in and protect his lady after an oveeager fan charged at Lopez in the hopes of getting a selfie following their appearance at the Venice Film Festival.
Still, the two were equally enamored with each other days later. After Lopez walked the red carpet solo at the Met Gala rocking a brown wild west-themed Ralph Lauren outfit, the Hustlers star found her way back to Affleck. The pair were later photographed sharing a kiss through their face masks.
As it turns out, it isn't all just for show. “Right now they’re headed to Texas, where they’ll be living while Ben films his next movie, and they’re looking for a new property to move into in L.A.,” a source says. “They feel so blessed to be living this real-life fairy-tale.”
Soon enough, the two may get their happily ever after. As OK! previously reported, Affleck was spotted browing through rings at Tiffany's in Century City, Calif., last month.
