Jennifer Lopez has officially parted ways with her former boyfriend Casper Smart and reports are now going wild that the possibility of ‘Bennifer’ happening looms very high.
The other half of ‘Bennifer’ is, of course, Ben Affleck, who, for his part, has also parted ways with his former wife Jennifer Garner in June of last year.
A number of news outlets have already hinted of the likely reunion of Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck but there are also reports saying that the “Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice” actor is indeed considering getting back together with Jennifer, but his wife Jennifer Garner that is, and not with J-Lo.
In fact, there are also rumors saying that Jennifer Garner has considered getting back together with Ben Affleck and is rumored to have put another baby in the relationship equation but she is reportedly being cautious about it, notes the Inquisitr.
Good for her career
As far as the inner circle of the “Booty” singer is concerned, her reunion with Ben Affleck would benefit her career and bring her back to her glory days when her movies and albums were No. 1.
There were reports that J-Lo is not opposed to the idea but the so-called triple threat celebrity does not want to force the issue just yet.
She did confirm though that she and Ben were in constant communications and that he has always had a soft spot for him in her heart.
However, a source interviewed by the gossip-debunking site Gossip Cop denied that a reunion between Ben Affleck and Jennifer Lopez is in the works, labeling the rumors as stupid and ridiculous.
The same source said that Jennifer Garner is expecting another baby with Ben Affleck and she has been telling her friends that she is having a baby but is just being cautious about getting back together with her former husband.
Ben Affleck and Jennifer Garner ended their relationship in June of last year after 10 years of marriage. They got married in 2005 and share three children together – Violet, 10; Seraphina, 7; and Samuel, 4.
A trial separation and a conception
In a joint statement at the end of June 2015, Ben Affleck and Jennifer Garner announced they were calling it quits. At the time, a source spoke about the former couple’s relationship and confirmed they had actually spent the previous 10 months apart as part of a trial separation.
Despite the announcement of their plans for divorce, Ben Affleck and Jennifer Garner have continued to be targeted with rumors of a possible reunion for the past several months. Due to their regular outings as a family, the rumors will likely continue.
As for Garner’s alleged pregnancy, the source went on to claim that the former couple conceived their fourth child earlier this year in Europe.
The source claimed that Ben Affleck and Jennifer Garner conceived the baby while he was working on the movie “Justice League” in London. The source added that Ben and Jennifer had begun spending more time together romantically and Garner realized there was still a lot of love between the two of them.
However, Gossip Cop, later on, came out to report that another source stated that it is not true that Jennifer Garner was pregnant with a fourth child with Ben Affleck.
On the possibility of ‘Bennifter’ happening, it is actually the close friends of the “Ain’t Your Mama” hitmaker who are pushing it because they wanted to see the songstress become part of a superstar couple again, notes Hall of Fame Magazine.
There are reports saying that J-Lo is not opposed to her friends’ idea but she believes that it would happen in due time if it meant to happen.
The reunion rumors between J-Lo and Ben Affleck started as early as last year after the split of Ben from his wife. At that time, ‘Bennifer’ was far from happening because J-Lo appeared to be singing beautiful music together then with his 28-year-old boyfriend Casper Smart.
The former “American Idol” judge has also opened up then to a British tabloid regarding how she felt devastated when Ben Affleck called off their public engagement and wedding in 2004.
In that interview, Jennifer Lopez described that her heart was torn out of her chest and that Ben Affleck crushed her soul as well as destroyed her dreams when he called off their wedding.
