I literally thought of them being back together for 15 years. It was me guys, I manifested this.

[voilet]

Never knew Ben Affleck can give interview like this. He's so cute here. They both seem so relaxed and in love. Wishing them the best .

[_carolyn_]

Based on her past interviews and her past relationships, this is the most happiest I’ve seen her. I truly believe they should give it another try why not! I’m here for it!!!

[jacquiemartinez]

I have never seen Jennifer so happy, like a teenager. She was so in love with him that she was glowing. I can't forget she said that Ben was the only man who broke her heart and that only mean ONE thing: She was really in love! By the other hand, she said also that with him she can be the way she really is and that is one of the best thing that could happen to anyone in a relationship. Would be a torture to be in a marriage with someone who doesn't like the way you are. I wish the best to both with this 2nd chance in their life. ❤️

[gailhitson]

This is literally my favorite interview of Jennifer and Ben. Look at Jennifer's face light up when she looks at Ben, she literally glows. Ben looks as if he's just discovered the most fascinating girl in the world. Beautiful, absolutely beautiful.

[thelightofthebodyispineal]

She is Really Happy here! I haven’t seen her more radiant than this.

[vimleshgovender]

Omg this is the most I've seen jlo laugh ever in a short space of time. They are so loved up.

[guitarsz]

They have a LOT of chemistry. That is for sure.

[sinogarcon]

Girl couldn't stop giggling. She was totally smitten over him. But both are Type As.

[walterude]

I love how much in love she appears to be with him. And I love how he's always praising her and hyping her. I love their love, and I hope they rediscover it. I'm so rooting for them.

[gl]

The way her eyes light up and the way she glows seeing him! He was definitely the one true love for her. I’m happy they are trying it again🥰🥰🥰❤️❤️❤️❤️

[duermedespierto]

she was so excited and happy to be with him that she kept interrupting him. I hope they end up together

[csloane]

I've never forgotten this interview or how in love they so clearly were back then, . I've honestly always hoped they'd somehow, someday get back together. As pathetic as it may sound, the fact that it's actually happening just makes me ridiculously happy! Timing is everything and they've both really lived life and evolved personally and professionally. It's going to be so cool and fascinating to see them as a couple again at this stage of their lives!

[cassandrawestgate]

I feel like out of all the guys she's dated (and there's been quite a few) she seemed the most happy and smitten with Ben. I'm hoping that the rumors are true and they are actually getting back together. Who knows, maybe they are each others soulmates and god has brought them back together after all these years.

[xhpfanx]

Aww Jen was really in love. I feel like she and Ben are each other’s “lobsters” haha .. cue to Friends

[BeautifulCyprus]

Her eyes are glowing just watching him..
She was in love...
Unfulfilled love does come back in the end.
Karma karma karma

[bori]

Wow, I get it now. I never seemed her this happy. They are very cute together. I thought it was a bad idea to start dating so quickly but maybe Ben is just her soul mate. Their connection is obvious here. Let's see what happens but I wish her the best.

[replicatoria]

Explosive energy, sparkles, warmth, easiness and realness, all signs of true love. I root for Benniffer 2.0. As the news came out about them hanging out with each other, I've never felt that thrilled in my life for somebody. 😅

[mariantramirez]

She wrote in her book that Ben was her first real heartbreak and watching this gave me them feels

[truejahz]

I remember how Ben mentioned in a radio interview back in the 90’s that he had a crush on her, and he wanted to meet her.
