Jennifer Lopez And Ben Affleck Are Couple Goals As They Stroll Hand-In-Hand Through New York City

'Maid In Manhattan' in real life

There’s no denying that Jennifer Lopez is the queen of romantic comedies. From The Wedding Planner to Maid In Manhattan, it looks as if she’s transcended her on-screen romances into one of her own.

Since rekindling their relationship, after their 2004 split, JLo and Ben Affleck have debuted their love from Miami to Los Angeles to Venice and most recently, New York. Just like locals, the pair have been spotted walking the streets of the Big Apple together, hand-in-hand and, well, incredibly loved up.

Having performed at the Global Citizen Live concert at Central Park on September 25, Affleck reportedly hopped on a plane from Los Angeles to NYC, just to spend time with her.

While they’ve been in the city, the pair have been photographed around Manhattan making every person on Earth who isn’t in a relationship, increasingly jealous. Holding hands, kissing, laughing and hugging, if their Venice Film Festival red carpet debut wasn’t proof enough, Bennifer are well-and-truly an item once again.

The pair were last seen in public back at the 2021 Met Gala. Affleck chose not to walk the carpet with her, rather, stepping back to let her have her moment in her Western-inspired Ralph Lauren ensemble. However, once inside, the pair reunited and kissed through their masks for the cameras.

In a recent interview, Affleck openly gushed about his relationship with Lopez, explaining that he is in “awe” of her and the effect she’s had on society.

“I am in awe of what Jennifer’s effect on the world is,” he told AdWeek. “At most, as an artist, I can make movies that move people. Jennifer has inspired a massive group of people to feel they have a seat at the table in this country. That is an effect few people throughout history have had, one I will never know and one I can only stand by and admire with respect.” 

As for what Lopez wore on her Manhattan voyage with Affleck, she opted for a gorgeous teal, plaid wool coat with a similar plaid maxi wrap dress and aviator sunglasses. While Affleck sported a dark grey and blue monochromatic moment in a charcoal, wool blazer, black button up and matching trousers.
