The A-Rod Corp CEO began dating the “Jenny From the Block” singer in 2017. The pair got engaged in 2019 but after calling off the wedding multiple times due to the coronavirus pandemic, they ended their relationship in April 2021.

Two weeks after they announced their split, Lopez and Affleck — who were briefly engaged before ending their two-year romance in 2004 — reunited on multiple occasions in Los Angeles. They were then spotted together in Big Sky, Montana, over Mother’s Day weekend.

A second insider noted that the exes have “always loved each other” and that “people close to her won’t be surprised if they end up together.”

In early April, the two-time Oscar winner raved over the “On the Floor” singer in a cover story for InStyle magazine.
