After months of widely reported divorce talk drama, the unexpected happened. Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck, the estranged celebrity spouses who reportedly haven’t seen each other in person all summer, reunited at Ben’s home in Los Angeles last weekend.
It looks as if the two have reunited in some manner just days before Ben Affleck’s 52nd birthday on Thursday. So, what has brought these former lovebirds back together? Sources close to the former pair tell the Daily Mail that Jennifer became very close with Ben and Jennifer Garner’s kids and still enjoys spending as much time with them as possible.
So JLo took Ben’s son, Samuel, 12, on a shopping spree to the Century City Mall over the weekend. Upon returning him to his dad’s home, Jennifer Lopez took the opportunity to chat with Ben Affleck for a long bit.
The insider didn’t provide details on how the reunion played out after such a long period apart. Nor did the source reveal whether Jennifer Lopez sees the reunion as a positive sign of reconciliation. This uncertainty adds to the intrigue of their relationship status.
Jennifer Lopez Clings To Hope For Reconciliation With Ben Affleck Following 5-Hour Visit
Ben and Jen’s divorce news drama has been a whirlwind of conflicting reports, with many claiming that Jennifer Lopez was fighting hard to save her marriage. The reports indicated that JLo had difficulty accepting that her marriage to Ben Affleck was over.
However, those close to Ben claim he is ready to push forward with the divorce. They say Ben is eager to put the past year behind him and move on with his life. Ben wants to try to keep things on the friendliest terms. However, per the New York Post, this is where things get interesting. Jennifer Lopez arrived at Ben Affleck’s LA home at 5 p.m. and did not leave until 10 p.m.
That being said, if Jennifer Lopez remains hopeful for a reconciliation with Ben Affleck, could he be to blame for it? Of course, whatever went down between the two celebrities behind closed doors is unknown. But a five-hour visit seems a little much considering. Time will tell whether the visit was purely just a friendly family gathering or if there was a little more interesting to it.
