Happy USA Mother’s Day from Y2K Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck.
On 8 May (Mother’s Day in the US), present-day J.Lo took to Instagram to wish all the mums out there a happy Mother’s Day – and she used an old clip with Ben to do it. As we all know, Bennifer originally dated in the early 2000s after meeting on the set of their critically panned film Gigli (2001). While Affleck proposed in 2002, the couple never made it down the aisle and eventually split in 2004. That’s okay, though, because they officially rekindled their relationship in 2021 and are giving the whole wedding thing another try.
Though it’s been almost 20 years since they first called it quits, J.Lo must have a hard drive of all their old memories lying around because she just whipped out a perfect throwback Bennifer moment. In the clip from 2003, J.Lo and Ben were caught on the jumbotron while enjoying a basketball game. The pair both wave to the camera and wish their moms a happy Mother’s Day. My favorite part is that J.Lo kept the part of the video where the announcer called them “Hollywood’s hottest couple.”
“Happy Mother’s Day to all the mommy’s out there,” J.Lo captioned the clip. It’s wild how little some things change in almost two decades. She even has the same curtain bangs!

Jennifer Lopez is the mother of 14-year-old twins Emme and Maximillian, whom she shares with her former husband, Marc Anthony. Meanwhile, Ben Affleck co-parents his own children – 16-year-old Violet, 13-year-old Seraphina, and 10-year-old Samuel –with his ex-wife, Jennifer Garner. In April 2022, J.Lo and Ben officially became those embarrassing parents when they were photographed kissing while picking up their respective children from school.
Though Ben no longer has an official Instagram, he shared a touching Mother’s Day tribute to Jennifer Garner back in 2021. The former couple split in 2015 after 10 years of marriage. “So happy to share these kids with you. Luckiest parents in the world. Thanks for all the good you do,” Affleck captioned the post at the time. “Happy Mother’s Day. Love, their Dad.”
