Fans of Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck were buzzing with excitement when the former couple shared a flirty moment on the red carpet at the Kiss of the Spider Woman event. But hold your horses, folks – it seems there's no romantic reunion on the horizon. Despite their playful appearance, sources confirm that J.Lo and Ben are not rekindling any old flames.
An insider spilled the beans to Us Weekly, revealing that Jennifer has fully "accepted" that her relationship with Ben has "run its course." According to this source, J.Lo isn't looking back. Instead, she's embracing her newfound independence, feeling more comfortable in her own skin than ever before. "There’s a sense of independence and peace about her," the insider shared, adding that she’s in a "really good headspace right now."

Another source pointed out that J.Lo is grateful for the lessons learned during her time with Ben. She reportedly has no regrets about their past and is thankful for the personal growth it brought her. Interestingly, another anonymous tipster told Page Six that J.Lo and Ben are at their best when they're not in a romantic relationship. They share a unique dynamic, role-playing as "the glamorous, gorgeous diva superstar on a pedestal" and "roguish cad," but it all crumbles when they try to take it further.
So, while the chemistry might still be there, it seems these two are better off as friends. For now, J.Lo is thriving on her own, and fans can only admire her journey to self-discovery and empowerment.
