Ben Affleck and Jennifer Lopez certainly looked like they were on cloud nine at the premiere of his new movie, The Tender Bar, in Hollywood on December 12 — and for good reason.
Nearly a year into their rekindled romance, "they’re still at the stage where they can hardly keep their hands off each other, but it’s not just chemistry," dishes a source, who says Affleck and J.Lo are both going the extra mile to keep their connection red-hot.
The Hustlers star, 52, "is constantly buying new lingerie, which Ben loves, and if she’s away from him even for a few hours, she'll take a sexy selfie and send it to him," spills the source.

For his part, the Last Duel actor, 49, "has been working out at the crack of dawn and has totally cleaned up his diet to match hers," the source says. "Ben’s happy to do it, but it wouldn’t be happening if it weren’t for Jen."
The lovebirds also have some relationship rules. "Right from the start, they agreed to be super open with each other, so they actually pencil in weekly sit-down sessions to talk about their feelings," explains the source.
When work schedules keep them apart, the handsome hunk — who’s been shooting his new thriller, Hypnotic, in Texas — "has to FaceTime Jen every night before bed," adds the source. "Their friends think it’s all a bit over the top, but Ben and Jen are so grateful to be getting this second chance. They’re not taking anything for granted!"
Affleck and Lopez's 19-year saga appears to be hitting it's peak, as they seem to be more in love than ever before. As OK! reported, the rekindled flames first connected on the set of Gigli in 2002 and began dating shortly after. The dad of three proposed to the Latin pop star later that year, but the two called it quits in 2004.
While it seemed to be the end of Bennifer, rumors began swirling in April that the former flames reconciled shortly after Lopez called it quits with Alex Rodriguez. Ever since their first sighting together earlier this year, Bennifer 2.0 has been hot and heavy, with the duo showing major PDA while out and about together, as well as on the red carpet.
