Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck look very much back together as the two reportedly spent a week together in Montana.
A source tells People magazine, “[Jennifer] spent several days with Ben out of town. They have a strong connection. It’s all been quick and intense, but Jennifer is happy.”
The two stars were seen in a car together near a resort in Big Sky, where Ben has a home. They were later spotted arriving back in L.A. on Saturday on a private jet.
This comes a few weeks after the two were seen hanging at her L.A. home.
Ben and Jen were engaged in 2002 but split in early 2004.
A source recently told People magazine, “They have a lot of love for each other. They have always admired each other.”

Everyone was surprised by Jennifer Lopez‘s reunion with Ben Affleck, but no one was as surprised as Alex Rodriguez.
The baseball legend was engaged to the singer up until a month ago, and a source tells E! News, “A-Rod is shocked that J.Lo has moved on. He truly thought they would be able to make it work and reconnect. He has been reaching out to J.Lo trying to meet with her and she has been very short with him.”
J. Lo and Ben pretty much confirmed their rekindled romance by taking a weeklong vacation in Montana. “They were alone,” an insider said. “Just the two of them.”
According to the source, Alex is “saddened” about his ex’s reunion with the Oscar-winner and has even reached out to her to let her know “he’s upset.”
The insider added, “She’s not interested in rekindling anything with A-Rod and is done.”

NBC won’t air the 2022 Golden Globes because of a lack of diversity within the Hollywood Foreign Press Association.
In a statement, the network said, “We continue to believe that the HFPA is committed to meaningful reform. However, change of this magnitude takes time and work, and we feel strongly that the HFPA needs time to do it right. As such, NBC will not air the 2022 Golden Globes. Assuming the organization executes on its plan, we are hopeful we will be in a position to air the show in January 2023.”
The move comes the same day Tom Cruise returned his Golden Globes in protest. He reportedly packed up his trophies for Born on the Fourth of July (best actor, drama), Jerry Maguire (best actor, comedy or musical) and Magnolia (best supporting actor) and sent them to the offices of the HFPA.
The HFPA has come under fire for not having any Black members. Though the organization insists it’s planning to make changes, including admitting 20 new members with a focus on Black recruitment, stars like Mark Ruffalo and Scarlett Johansson have called on Hollywood to “step back” from HFPA and the Globes.
