Ben Affleck (2022… Again!)

It is obvious that the lovebirds were not over each other. On the return of the couple, a source informed E! that Ben got in touch with Jennifer to see how she was post her breakup with Alex. They had dinner together for a couple of times in a month, and their relationship began from where they had left off. The insider asserted that the couple’s chemistry is unreal and natural.

In July 2022, Bennifer solidified their relationship in a private wedding ceremony in Las Vegas.
