    Grand romantic gestures are par for the course around this time of year for celebrities – and this year, they didn’t disappoint. With many stars sharing cute throwback pictures with their loved ones online and sharing heartwarming messages, others went above and beyond with boat loads of roses and custom decorations. (Kanye West also sent his former wife Kim Kardashian a truck full of flowers, so there’s that.)

    From a meaningful video montage of Bennifer moments cut together by Oscar winner Ben Affleck to gigantic Disney sculptures, read on for more on how celebrities celebrated love on Valentine’s Day.

    Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck

    Ben Affleck made sure this Valentine’s Day was an extra special one for Jennifer Lopez, especially as it’s the first one they’ve had together since they last split in 2004. According to Harper’s Bazaar, Lopez shared the actor had given her an early Valentine’s Day present in her newsletter On the JLo: a personalized music video set to her song “On My Way.” She shared that the video was “very special and very personal,” full of moments from their early days in the 2000s. 

    She wrote, “Watching it made me think about the journey of true love, its unexpected twists and turns, and that when it's real, it actually can last forever. This seriously melted my heart.”
