Jennifer Lopez Dodges Ben Affleck Question On 'TODAY' Show

Jennifer Lopez might be crazy in love with Ben Affleckonce again, but the singer is not quite ready to publicly speak about their rekindled relationship.
It’s been just about three months since “Bennifer” reemerged and graced us with their couple status once again.
JLo and the ‘Batman’ actor rekindled their romance in May not long after her split from then-fiancé, Alex Rodriguez.
It’s been bliss ever since they reunited, and fans can tell it feels SO GOOD for both Ben and Jen.
The revamped couple dated in the early 2000s after starring in “Gigli” together and were engaged to be married in 2004, but split that same year.
They're BACK Baby!
During an appearance on the “TODAY Show” on Tuesday, July 20, Jennifer and Lin-Manuel Miranda virtually sat down with Hoda Kotb to reminisce on the five-year anniversary of their song, “Love Make The World Go Round.”
The song was written to honor the innocent lives lost and wounded at the Pulse Nightclub massacre in Orlando, Florida.
Jennifer and Lin-Manuel performed the song live on the “TODAY Show” plaza in 2016 after the tragedy, and now they are coming together once again for another special cause.
“It’s the five-year anniversary of the Pulse tragedy, so we figured on the anniversary to re-release the single which we recently released out of a desire to do something in the face of this tragedy,” the “Hamilton” star said.

Hoda then turned her attention to Jennifer for some “girl talk” and put her in the hot seat.
“You look happy. Look, I’ve known you for years,” the show host said to Jennifer.
“I am happy. I am always happy when you see me, Hoda,” the singer replied.
Hoda rephrased her comment saying, “You look happier, you look happier! I have to tell you, every time I see a picture of you and Ben, I’m like, ‘She looks happier, she looks happier,’ are we happier?”
Dodging the question and quickly redirecting the conversation, Jennifer responded, “The song is out five years. Five years since we’ve done it and I believe that message of loving one another and coming together and love is never more relevant than it is right now.”
The ‘TODAY’ host tried once again to get an ounce of information out of the singer saying, “You know it’s me you’re talking to?”
“I know, you can call me. You have my number,” JLo quipped.
Well, if Jennifer won’t spill the tea on her relationship with Ben, I think the paparazzi pictures speak for themselves.
