Jennifer Lopez is one of the most talked-about women in the world, making viral news for everything from her stunning performance at President Joe Biden's Inauguration to being responsible for the invention of Google Image search.

The most recent J-Lo news has of course surrounded her split from A-Rod, and now reported reunion with Ben Affleck.

Yes, really.

There is speculation that 'Bennifer' could be back on - what a throwback.

Bennifer - Ben Affleck and Jennifer Lopez - were one of the golden couples of the early noughties.

After meeting on the set of their film, Gigli, in 2002, their relationship rocketed and Ben and Jen went from a budding romance to a high profile engagement in just two years, publicly calling off their wedding in 2004.

In the news that no one expected this year however, the pair appeared to reunite, with the former couple seen hanging out.

'[Jennifer] spent several days with Ben out of town. They have a strong connection. It's all been quick and intense, but Jennifer is happy,' one source told People, while another added: 'she is happy with him and enjoys spending time with him.'

'They have a good time when they're hanging out and things have been easy, fun and exciting between them,' a source reportedly told Entertainment Tonight. 'They've stayed in touch over the years, so the two of them reconnecting isn't a huge surprise to their friends. Ben is protective over J.Lo and they're trying to be as low key as possible.'

Wait, so is Bennifer back on?

We don't know what to think.
