Bennifer was the "it couple" when they started dating and got engaged in 2002. Although they called off the relationship in early 2004, Ben and Jen rekindled their romance in 2021 before marrying in 2022. Two years after saying "I do," Jennifer filed for divorce. But are they really over?
J.Lo's beauty brand recently shared a photo of the actress.
On September 22, Jennifer's beauty brand, JLo Beauty, shared a selfie of the "Let's Get Loud" singer via Instagram. The picture showed her wearing a brown blazer over a white shirt and various necklaces. No big deal, right? Except…
Right away, fans noticed Jennifer wearing a 'BEN' necklace.
Not long after the picture was posted, fans honed in on a particular detail. One of J.Lo's necklaces had the name "BEN" on it, the Daily Mail reported. Which was curious, considering Ben and Jen are in the middle of a divorce and had no prenup.
The post has since been deleted.
It didn't take long for fans to point out the "BEN" necklace. A short while after the photo was uploaded and Instagram users pointed out the odd piece of jewelry, the post was deleted. It's still unclear whether the upload was a mistake.
It was apparently an old photo from August 2023.
Fans didn't have a chance to get too excited about the prospect of Jen and Ben reconciling. That's because the photo of J.Lo was an old snap originally shared by Jennifer on August 23, 2023. She captioned the original Instagram update with, "Still got me looking like the baddest…@alc_ltd."
Reportedly, Ben and Jen recently shared PDA during a brunch with their kids.
The "BEN" necklace wasn't the first time fans wondered if Bennifer might change their minds about the divorce. On September 14, Ben and Jen grabbed lunch with their kids at the Beverly Hills Hotel's Polo Lounge, People reported. Sources told Page Six that they saw the couple "holding hands and kissing" during the outing.
They also attended a back-to-school night with their kids.
On September 17, Jen and Ben walked into a back-to-school night together with their kids, Jennifer's twins, Max and Emme, and two of Ben's kids, Fin and Samuel, at their Los Angeles area school. Sources told TMZ that the exes were "totally cool" around each other. They were reportedly also "very cordial."
