The Accountant hunk rekindled their crashed, 2004 engagement last May with snitches spilling J.Lo’s eager to get hitched before big Ben goes off the rails again.
“Jennifer is starting to lean toward an elopement first, followed by a big bash later when the pressure’s off,” dishes an insider. “She’s terrified of Ben pulling out and running away at the last minute like he did in 2004.
“He swears that’ll never happen again, but Jennifer is still scarred by the experience and she’s thinking a small formal affair in London or Paris would be so romantic and special.”
The Argo director is said to be signing on for the upcoming Barbie movie, being shot at Warner Bros.’ Leavesden Studios in Hertfordshire this summer and his Wedding Planner star galpal has every intention to follow and keep an eye on him in England.
“Ben’s excited to turn it into a fun relocation experience for himself and Jennifer,” spills the insider. “It’ll be like a working honeymoon for them. They’re both keen to build up the ‘Bennifer’ brand in Europe, too, and so this will be a great stepping stone.
“She totally calls the shots so if she wants to elope while they’re overseas that’s what they’ll do. It will be super small. Once they’re back in California, they’ll have a glitzy bash with all their famous friends.”
