Twitter has the best reactions to Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck’s Montana trip

Ben Affleck and Jennifer Lopez’s Montana reunion has Twitter fingers flying.

After new photos showed exes Affleck, 48, and Lopez, 51, getting away to Montana for a long weekend, fans took to the social media site to share their excitement and riff on the possibility the two were back together.

“The fact that Bennifer is a thing again is nature’s way of resetting after the Trump administration,” one user wrote.

Another suggested society give them a new nickname this time around: “if bennifer is back can we call them jenjamin this time?”

Several tweeters pointed out that the formerly engaged A-list pair have reunited at the same time the Brood X cicadas have started emerging, returning to their own spotlight — so to speak — after exactly 17 years.

Other tweeters jonesed for another signifier of the summer of 2004: A banger of a summer single from Usher, whose hit “Yeah!” dominated the airwaves at the time.

As Page Six previously reported, Affleck and Lopez have been spending time together since the “Get Right” singer ended her engagement to Alex Rodriguez. Sources told Page Six the two have “never not been” friends after Affleck was spotted leaving Lopez’s home in Los Angeles in April.

Affleck and Lopez started dating in the summer of 2002 for two short but rocky years of extremely high-profile romance. They co-starred in “Gigli,” a critically reviled rom-com that also bombed in theaters, and quickly became engaged, only to call off their 2003 wedding on extremely short notice. After they broke up in 2004 — seemingly for good — Lopez called the split her “first big heartbreak.”
