Ben Affleck and Jennifer Lopez have been maddeningly coy about their relationship since they were first spotted together after their respective splits in May, but these new images leave no question that things are indeed romantic between the two.
Lopez recently ended a 4-year long relationship with former baseball star Alex Rodriguez in April following rumors of infidelity, and Affleck split from actress Ana de Armas in January before the old flames found their way back to each other.

Enjoying an outdoor dining experience at Nobu in Malibu last Sunday, the couple couldn’t keep their hands off each other in the first public display of affection since rekindling their romance.
Page Six reported that the couple was not alone, rather celebrating Lopez’s sister Linda’s 50th birthday, but the images show that the two may as well have been out to a romantic evening alone.

Both Lopez and Affleck are reportedly thrilled to be back together, with a source close to the songstress saying, “Jennifer always saw Ben as the one that got away.”
Apparently, Lopez isn’t the only one happy to have Affleck back in her life, with reports revealing that the superstar’s mother is also overjoyed to have Ben back in the picture. According to People, “In the past, Jennifer’s mom and Ben were very close.
Guadalupe loved Ben. She was sad when they couldn’t work things out years ago. She is thrilled that they are back together now.”

While the reunion is still relatively fresh, Lopez is packing up her Miami rental home and is reportedly planning to move herself and her twins Max and Emme (13) to Los Angeles to be closer to Affleck.
The couple won’t be living together, but it will make the relationship much easier once the pair are living in the same state. Bennifer 2.0 seems to be going the distance!
