BACK IN YOUR LOVING ARMS!
Ben & J.Lo prove it’s the real thing
LOVESTRUCK Ben Affleck is head over heels for Jennifer Lopez — and the Batman beefcake is telling haters to buzz off because their rejuvenated relationship is the real deal, sources squealed to The National ENQUIRER.
Now that he’s rekindled his romance with onetime fiancée J.Lo, 51, besotted Ben, 48, is eyeing a lasting relationship, sources dished.
“They are both smitten with each other and stunned at how quickly things are moving, but are happier than they could have imagined,” an insider snitched.
“It actually makes them both laugh that some people still seem to think it’s an attention-seeking exercise because the biggest concern right now is having as much privacy as possible.”
Bennifer 2.0 was recently caught on camera stepping out for a dinner date in West Hollywood — and the reunited couple, who’d called it quits in 2004, looked plenty cozy! “They were very affectionate, very cuddly. He had his arm around her,” the insider spilled.
“From Ben’s perspective, this is the most adult relationship he’s had for a long time and a total game changer.
“The difference this time — versus 17 years ago — is night and day.”
As The ENQUIRER reported, Ben had been nursing a broken heart after Ana de Armas, 33, kicked him to the curb in January.
But when former Yankee slugger Alex Rodriguez,
45, struck out with J.Lo over his alleged roving eye, putting an end to their engagement, sources said Ben reached out to the “Hustlers” hottie and the duo found they clicked even better than before! Sources snitched the couple’s cross-country
booty calls have included hot hookups in Miami, Los Angeles and Montana, and fitness fanatic J.Lo has even lured Ben into the gym!
But according to tipsters, the “Ain’t Your Mama” singer has yet to meet Ben’s kids with ex-wife Jennifer Garner — Violet, 15, Seraphina, 12 and Samuel, 9.
And Jen’s said to be taking her time before allowing Ben to get close to Max and Emme, the 13-year-old twins she shares with ex-hubby Marc Anthony.
An insider squealed, “She’s very aware of how fond the kids were of A-Rod and doesn’t want to inflict too much dramatic change in their lives too quickly.
“Ben totally respects that and is willing to wait.”
The source dished the “Pearl Harbor” star is happy with the pace of their relationship and added, “This whole experience is changing
Ben for the better. He’s in amazing shape, acting like a total gentleman and walking around with a serious spring in his step. “Make no mistake about it — they’re both in it for keeps!”
