Jennifer Lopez Shares Throwback ‘Bennifer’ Video on IG (and We’re Having All the Y2K Feels)

In honor of Mother’s Day, Jennifer Lopez gave us a blast from the past with a throwback video of Bennifer on social media (and yes, we’re in our Y2K feels).

This past Sunday, she posted an old video of herself and her now fiancé, Ben Affleck, sitting courtside at a basketball game in 2003.

The clip features the couple (who were also dating at the time) waving at the courtside camera and sending Mother’s Day messages to all the mothers watching. At one point, Lopez blows a kiss at the camera and waves, wishing her own mother a happy Mother’s Day.

The Marry Me star wrote in the caption, “Happy Mother’s Day to all the mommy’s out there!!!” alongside a pink heart emoji.

Their courtside appearance came a year after the Hollywood stars announced their engagement for the first time. Lopez and Affleck started dating and got engaged after meeting on the set of their movie, Gigli. Though the pair were all smiles in the video, they called off their engagement a year later. In 2004, the couple officially broke up.

Last month, the couple sparked rumors (yet again) after Lopez was spotted wearing a diamond ring on her left hand while furniture shopping with her daughter, Emme. Shortly after, the Hustlers actress confirmed the news in the official On The J.Lo newsletter. That’s when she gave fans a close-up look at her green engagement ring. 

Anyone else loving the nostalgic throwback?
