We all first fell for the eternally cute celeb couple, ‘Bennifer’ back in the early 2000s, when Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck were an item and even got engaged before their devastating 2004 breakup. Now, more than 15 years later, JLo, 52 and Affleck, 49, have pleased millions of fans by reuniting and once again preparing to wed— and we all couldn’t be happier for them. Lopez just shared the sweetest throwback video of her with Affleck from the time that they first fell in love, and her 208 million followers just can’t get over it!
The Marry Me star uploaded an old clip of her and Affleck at a basketball game, sitting arm in arm and waving at the camera in honor of Mother’s Day. On May 8th, she posted this video, and her and Affleck can both be seen sweetly wishing their own mothers a happy holiday back then. Of course, this video was taken before Lopez became a mother herself, and welcomed her twins Emme and Max in 2008 (now 12 years old) with ex-husband Marc Anthony. Affleck is also a dad now, as he shares 3 children with his ex-wife Jennifer Garner: Violet, 16, Seraphina, 13 and Samuel, 10.

“Happy Mother’s Day to all the mommy’s out there!!!” future Mrs. Affleck wrote in her caption with hearts as she celebrated the holiday as a mother and daughter herself. “It’s crazy to think how far you’ve both come since this vid!” commented one fan on JLo’s post, emphasizing how even though they were mega stars in the 2000s, they are even much more so in 2022. More began to share this clip on Twitter, putting current videos of the happy couple side-by-side to show how much they’ve grown individually and as parents themselves. “After all this time you still found your way back to each other, I’m tearing up,” wrote another fan with a smiling-yet-crying emoji (summing up our thoughts exactly!)
