Reunited and it feels *SO* good.

If I've learned anything from Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck's reunion, it's to never have shame in dialing an ex from a decade ago. LOL, just kidding. To this day, I cannot believe that these two found each other after 17 (!!!) years apart. Call it fate, call it destiny, call it whatever you want—it's downright adorable and pulled right from the pages of a rom-com script. If you want a breakdown of their ~love story~, here's the veryyy simplified version: They met in 2001, got engaged in 2002, split in 2004, got back together in 2021, and got engaged again in 2022. And, um, guys? It gets better. Three months after Ben popped the question, they got married in Vegas...something J.Lo perfectly described as being "twenty years patient." Seriously though.

In celebration of one of the most iconic couples in Hollywood making a comeback, take a look at these rare gems taken of Bennifer through the years. We're talking nachos, cute carriage rides, and plenty of awkward kisses.

The Gigli cameras weren't even rolling in this shot. They're just so effortlessly cool.

That double finger point tells me everything I need to know about J.Lo. Aka she's a boss lady and I would like to be her, thanks.

"Hey, cool it with the photos, okay??" - Ben, as he leaves the window wide open for paparazzi

Umm, I think I just found the stars of Bridgerton season 3. Seriously though, someone give Shonda Rhimes a call ASAP.

Nothing makes you feel more single than being crammed into a tiny photo booth with Bennifer, I'm guessing.

Which way to the jewelry store?? I see a $2.5 million engagement ring in your very-near-2002-era future, J.Lo.

Wow, can't believe that actually worked.

J.Lo looks like a Disney Princess here, while Ben is her kinda intense looking Prince.

Do you think the top hat-wearing driver remembers the time he was Bennifer's third wheel? There's a sentence I never thought I'd say.

Like the true New Yorker she is, Jen would rather battle her way through the sun than borrow one of Ben's Boston caps. Honestly, respect.

Wait, this pic is kind of adorable.

Congrats, you've made it to the open-eyed kisses section of this list! Behold, Ben's favorite technique.

"Did you get this on camera? ME? Kissing J.Lo??" - Ben on every red carpet in 2003

This photo will always be a fan fave. He's peeking out of her hair like he's a detective hiding in a bush.

A little side angle action.

Ooooh look, Jennifer got in on the fun too!

It's literally not fair for two people to be this good looking together.

Ben realizing he just spent his Dunkin' Donuts budget for the next five years on that Louis Vuitton bag.

May I present: Miss Jennifer Lopez eating nachos. I promised rare pics, and I delivered!!

You know what they say: Couples who hike together get engaged, then break up, then reunite nearly 20 years later.

It's okay Jen, I can't take my eyes off that soul patch either.

They've served us plenty of tea over the years, it's only fair for them to have some of their own.

Ben was one second away from straight up yelling "PLEASE PAY ATTENTION TO ME!!!!"

Ah, early '00s fashion. The time of all-knit everything, pom-pom beanies...and goggles from The Matrix?

Who makes Jen's giant hood-slash-neck pillow and where can I get one??

Bennifer leaving a Blockbuster. Say that five times fast.

Is Jen filing her nails? At a baseball game?? True icon status.

Today in "man forced to go shopping and starts regretting all of his life choices."

Fast forward almost two decades, and our faves are back together. J.Lo handled her breakup with A-Rod like any person would: Going yachting in Italy with her ex. Casual.

Watch your step! The only falling these two are going to be doing is for each other. 🙃

Not even the Venice waves could cool the heat between them.

The only downside to arriving at the Venice Film Festival by boat? Getting off the boat.

Even they can't believe this is happening all these years later.

Come on, Ben. You had years to work on those wide-eyed stares. We were rooting for you! WE WERE ALL ROOTING FOR YOU!!

Don't mind him—he's just checking to see if he's actually with J.Lo and it's not his imagination.

If sitting inches away from LeBron James can't distract you from each other, you know it's love.

It's always so funny seeing celebs do regular people things, like replacing their glasses. #Relatable!

This photo is giving "it's our world and you all just live in it" vibes.

How do I apply to be Bennifer's professional puddle watcher like this guy??

I wanna know the backstory of this pic so bad. Are they mad? Excited? Who's the random kid standing there? I have questions.

Bennifer wasn't the only shocking comeback. Her giant furry hood has made a return too!! (For real though, it looks so comfyyyy).

"Babe, the only view you'll need is me." - J.Lo out shopping for a house (probably)

Everyone has baggage, these two just happen to have almost 20 years of it. 🤷‍♀️

If this pic doesn't make you believe in love again, nothing will. He's literally glowing watching her on stage.

Jen made a movie called Marry Me and Ben was like, "On it!!" He proposed two months after this photo was taken. 😭😭😭

They look SO happy together. Long live Bennifer!!

The veil! Ben's white tux! It's all too cute. In mid-July, the pair tied the knot in Las Vegas during a super casual ceremony. I'll leave you with this: In her "On the J.Lo" newsletter post about the big day, she signed it, and I quote, "Mrs. Jennifer Lynn Affleck." 😍
