Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck got engaged 17 years ago, after meeting on the set of a pastel romantic comedy titled Gigli (A dangerous relationship) , not to be confused with A very dangerous romance , this is a remarkable thriller where Jennifer Lopez seduced the elegant thief of George Clooney banks .

Shortly after their movie fiasco together, they began a relationship in which, she later confessed, they weren’t prepared for media pressure. “It so happened that we were together at the birth of the tabloid tabloids and it was too much pressure,” said the actress and singer.

It is seen that now, in emotional and professional fullness, both have reached the maturity to try again, with a passion even more unleashed than two decades ago. Judging by the images of Venice, Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck have completely freed themselves from that media pressure that gripped them so much.

On Friday, the day of the tribute to Ridley Scott with the presentation of the Cartier Glory to the Filmmaker Award 2021 , Jennifer discreetly addressed the photocall at the Palazzo del Casino. A few minutes later, Ben appeared to accompany her by the hand with a naturalness of new love, as if he had not spent time for them.

At night it was time for one of the most anticipated premieres of the festival, The Last Duel , Ridley Scott’s film that precedes his next novelty: The Gucci House . Ben Affleck is one of the protagonists of the film along with Adam Driver and his friend Matt Damon, with whom he has also written the script for the film (just as they did in their great debut, The Indomitable Will Hunting .

Ben Affleck first posed alone and with his fellow filmmakers, including The Last Duel actress , Jodie Comer. And then she appeared, a stunning Jennifer Lopez in a spectacular bridal-inspired white dress (the look is open to interpretation / future planning). They kissed, hugged, whispered, held each other by the waist and smiled as if none of the hundreds of photographers around had noticed their presence. Come on, Jessica Chastain and Oscar Isaac no longer win the award for the most sensual pose at the Venice Film Festival .
