Ben Affleck Just Opened Up About His Relationship With Jennifer Lopez—And He Did Not Hold Back!

Bennifer, as we like to refer to them, got back together in May earlier this year, after she and baseball player Alex Rodriguez called off their engagement. They first dated back in 2001, before parting ways in early 2004. The couple will learn whether absence really does make the heart grow fonder, as they will be spending some time apart over the next few months. Ben will be shooting the thriller, Hypnotic, in Austin, Texas, while Jen will be all the way in Canada filming her new Netflix sci-fi show, Atlas. Will their relationship survive the distance? We think so; as do insiders, who insist that the lovebirds reportedly plan on "making it work" while they are apart...

"This is their life together now. They will see each other when they can," the insider shared, before adding that LA will be the place they choose to meet up because it's where all of their children are. The "Love Don't Cost a Thing" singer shares 13-year-old twins, Max and Emme, with ex-husband, Marc Anthony – who has a hot new girlfriend, in case you didn't know! – while the Pearl Harbor actor shares Violet, 15, Seraphina, 12, and Samuel, 9, with 49-year-old ex-wife Jennifer Garner, who he was married to for ten years before they ended things in 2015.
