Ben Affleck and Jennifer Lopez united for a weekend getaway – and Twitter is excited | indy100

Ben Affleck and Jennifer Lopez went away for the weekend and people can’t get over it.

Pictures emerged on social media showing the exes – who were engaged in 2002 but broke up in 2004 – hanging out in a ski resort in Montana.

The old flames were even papped holding hands, sparking speculation that the ultimate noughties could be getting back together.

It comes less than a month after Lopez, 51, confirmed that she and Alex Rodriguez had called off their engagement, and also after she wrapped up filming on the romantic commedy Shotgun Wedding.

So could “Bennifer” be back on the cards? And could JLo even enjoy her own shotgun wedding?

Just because J.Lo and Ben Affleck are talking again does NOT mean you & your toxic ex could work out if you just give them another chance

Overall, the mood was of excitement:

Bennifer was the first compound celebrity couple name,the girls don't even know the pop culture HISTORY

The fact that Bennifer is a thing again is nature’s way of resetting after the Trump administration.

Lopez split from baseball player Rodriguez, 45, in April.

Around the same time, she was also spotted leaving Affleck’s home in Los Angeles. Sources said they were friends.

But it’s been a difficult year. Why wouldn’t we want to hark back to a better time of flip phones and Bennifer?
