Looks like Bennifer 2.0 is happening… if you believe what all these anonymous tipsters are claiming.

Entertainment Tonight spoke with a source close to the couple and attested that Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck are crazy for each other.

“[Jennifer] has been telling her friends nice things about Ben and they’re having a lot of fun together,” the insider spills. “They feel very comfortable with each other, but are also completely smitten, and it still feels like having a new crush after all these years.”

When dishing about their holiday plans, the source goes on to reveal, “Their plans are to stay in Miami through Memorial Day weekend.”

Lopez and Affleck were photographed hanging out in Miami last weekend, with a second source telling the outlet locked lips while working out together.

According to the second insider, “They went to do their workouts with separate trainers, but were not trying to hide their relationship by any means.  They stayed close to each other while working out and were hugging, being playful together, and shared a kiss in between sets.”

Ben and Jen met in July 2002 on the set of Gigli, but their subsequent relationship became the most lasting legacy of that box office bomb: the pair saw their names combined into Bennifer, and even saw Affleck give Lopez a 6.1-carat engagement ring in 2003.

They nearly made it to their 2003 wedding, which was postponed, and then the pair ultimately split in January of 2004. 

The couple went their separate ways: Lopez married singer Marc Anthony in 2004; Ben married Jennifer Garner in 2005. Both respective marriages ended after 10 years.
