BENNIFER: IT’S BACK ON!

WEDDING BELLS ARE RINGING AGAIN FOR THE REUNITED COUPLE

-

Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck have picked up where they left off, as insiders reveal the reunited lovebirds are already talking marriage.

While it might seem fast given J.LO only just broke off her engagement to Alex Rodriguez, she and Ben have always had a deep connection.

“Ben was Jennifer’s first big

heartbreak. They were torn apart by all the attention … The media circus that came with it turned their romance into a ‘job’,” says the source.

“Reuniting is like putting on the most comfortabl­e pair of slippers ever. She adores Ben – he’s the funniest guy she’s ever dated. It’s what they’ve both been looking for, and they can’t believe they’re
