JENNIFER Lopez and Ben Affleck’s summer of love tour shows no signs of slowing down. The pair went Instagram official on July 24 with Jen sharing a snap of them kissing aboard a private yacht to celebrate her 52nd birthday. Photographers continued to capture more steamy moments from their weekend-long European getaway, including one cheeky nod to Jennifer’s 2002 “Jenny From the Block” video: A perfect recreation of that butt-grabbing shot.
Fans and fellow celebrities have been cheering Bennifer 2.0, who gave love a second chance after breaking off their engagement in 2004. “I’m glad for both of them,” Ben’s bestie Matt Damon gushed to Extra. But a source tells Star exclusively that the A-listers’ very public reunion has been extremely calculated. “They’ve done a masterful job of projecting a fairytale to the world that they’re head over heels in love again,” says the source, “but it’s all kind of a game for them and a different story when the cameras are off.” Indeed, the biggest draw between the Gone Girl star, 48, and the “I’m Real” singer might just be their shared passion for their own image, says the source: “It’s well known that they both live and breathe for attention.”
