Lopez and Affleck first began dating 2002 and got engaged that year. However, they postponed their wedding in 2003, then eventually split in 2004. In May this year, 17 years after the breakup, the couple were photographed spending time together in Montana.
Over the next two months, Lopez and Affleck were spotted together on several occasions accompanying each other to restaurants and the gym, often with arms around each other. On June 14, pictures of the couple kissing while on a date were obtained by Page Six.
The first photo of the couple’s rekindled romance taken by anyone other than paparazzi or press was posted by Lopez’s friend Leah Remini on July 23, who added a picture of the three of them as part of a slideshow on Instagram documenting her 51st birthday.
