In case you somehow missed it, we accidentally time traveled back to 2002—a magical and questionable time when Ben Affleck and Jennifer Lopez were dating.

A source tells Entertainment Tonight that “Jen isn’t bothered by Ben hanging out with J.Lo or anyone else. She wants what is best for Ben.”
“What matters most to her is Ben being a great dad,” the source continues. “They’ve been in a good groove when it comes to co-parenting for a while and their kids’ happiness is Jen’s main priority.”
Either way, another source tells Entertainment Tonight that J.Lo and Ben are merely friends, and that their recent get together isn’t even the first time they’ve hung out—paparazzi just happened to be there this time. “Jen and Ben have remained friends over the years and the two are still just that – friends,” the source said, while another added “They obviously have a romantic history, but at this point they only have a friendship.
