Now that Jennifer Lopez has reunited with Ben Affleck, 17 years after she ended their engagement over bad behaviour in Vancouver, will we see the Bennifer sequel Bennifer 2.0 here?
There is a scheduling conflict. Ben Affleck is shooting his own thriller Hypnotic in Austin, Texas until mid-November. But the couple reconnect on weekends.
