Ben Affleck and Jennifer Lopez are once again at the center of swirling speculation after a viral blind item reignited rumors about their post-divorce relationship. According to unverified claims circulating on TikTok, the former power couple may still be seeing each other behind the scenes—even as Affleck is allegedly linked to supermodel Irina Shayk.
The buzz stems from a blind item shared by a popular celebrity gossip account, suggesting that a well-known actor-director remains publicly loyal to an on-again, off-again ex while secretly spending time with a foreign-born former A-list model. TikTok users were quick to connect the dots, identifying the trio as Affleck, Lopez, and Shayk, though no concrete evidence has surfaced to support the claims.
The account implies that Affleck has been quietly meeting with Lopez while attempting to keep any alleged involvement with Shayk under wraps. Shayk, a Russian supermodel who previously dated Bradley Cooper and shares a child with him, fits the blind item’s vague description, fueling further online speculation.
The rumors have reignited fascination with “Bennifer,” a relationship that has captivated tabloids for more than 20 years. Affleck and Lopez first fell in love after meeting on the set of the 2002 film Gigli. Despite the movie’s failure, their romance exploded into one of Hollywood’s most closely watched relationships. Overwhelmed by media attention, they postponed their planned 2003 wedding and ultimately ended their engagement in early 2004.
Both stars went on to marry other people. Affleck wed Jennifer Garner in 2005 and had three children, while Lopez married Marc Anthony the same year and welcomed twins. Years later, Lopez became engaged to Alex Rodriguez before calling it off in 2021.
Their surprise reunion that same year felt like a Hollywood fairy tale. Affleck and Lopez quickly rekindled their romance, got engaged again in 2022, and married in a low-key Las Vegas ceremony followed by a lavish celebration in Georgia. But the second chapter didn’t last. Lopez filed for divorce in August 2024, just two years after their wedding, following months of speculation about separate living arrangements and visible strain.
Now, gossip accounts claim Lopez is focused on reinvention as she heals from the breakup. The unconfirmed chatter suggests she’s undergoing a personal reset—both emotionally and physically—as she prepares to re-enter the dating world. Some rumors even describe a so-called “revenge makeover,” though none of these claims have been substantiated.
Whether the alleged secret meetings with Affleck are real, exaggerated, or pure internet fiction remains unclear. What is certain is that Bennifer continues to fascinate fans, proving that even after divorce, their story still has the power to dominate headlines and spark intense online debate.
