Here it is, it’s (again) over. Ben Affleck, aged 52, and Jennifer Lopez, aged 55, won’t grow old together<\/a>. Their story, reminiscent of a romantic comedy, did not culminate in a happy ending.<\/p>\n

On August 20, the date that should have marked their second anniversary, the singer and actress filed for divorce<\/a>. We can’t say it was unexpected, as their relationship had been hanging by a thread for weeks. Moreover, according to J.Lo, they separated last April 26.<\/p>\n

Thus, they almost spent four months pretending\u2014or perhaps not. In short, Ben and Jennifer are single again<\/a>, and some are already speculating about who they will date next. Lopez particularly dislikes being alone: “I am one of those people who do not like to be alone. At this point in my life, I have no shame in admitting it. I believe we must embrace who we are,”<\/em> she confessed in 2014.<\/p>\n

Some call it the “JLo Syndrome.” She even joked about it in her music video for “This is Me… Now”: A love story.<\/p>\n

Drake Wants to (Re)Try His Luck with Jennifer Lopez<\/h2>\n

It’s uncertain if Jennifer plans to take some time for herself<\/a>, to breathe, or to grieve, but one thing is clear\u2014someone is waiting for his chance to comfort her<\/a>. Who? Drake! A few weeks ago, as the rumors about Bennifer intensified, In Touch Weekly boldly claimed that the 37-year-old Canadian singer tops the list of potential next romances for her life.<\/p>\n

“Of course, he won’t make his move while she’s still married. He would never cross that boundary. But once things officially end with Ben, he’ll be ready and eager to show her a good time,”<\/em> a source close to the “God’s Plan” performer explained. And now, the path is clear!<\/p>\n

DraLo, Episode 2…<\/h2>\n

J.Lo and Drake back together? Not such an outlandish idea upon reflection. Recall that in late 2016, after Jennifer Lopez had split from Casper Smart a few months earlier, she and Drake spent quite a bit of time together. Despite their 18-year age difference\u2014a minor detail for J.Lo\u2014they largely behaved in public as if they were a couple. They were spotted cuddling, dancing, kissing, and Drake even gifted her an expensive necklace. Fans dubbed them “DraLo.”<\/a><\/p>\n

In fact, all this interaction was supposed to lead to a collaboration that never materialized. Nonetheless, by February 2017, Drake released a track, “Teenage Fever,” sampling “If You Had My Love,” a hit by Jennifer Lopez from 1999… It was around this time she began dating Alex Rodriguez.<\/p>\n

“Jennifer has always been one of Drake’s greatest crushes, and he says what they shared back then was incredible,”<\/em> the source told In Touch Weekly<\/em>. He hadn’t pursued it further, but everyone knew he would have liked to date her seriously. Now, the ball is in J.Lo’s court.<\/a><\/p>\n
