Jennifer Lopezand Ben Affleck are taking their rekindled romance one day at a time, according to a source close to the singer. The twosome have been spotted out and about on date nights and in the same location on more than one occasion over the course of the last month, and both stars were recently seen near each other’s homes. “Jen is still taking things slow with Ben but they are progressing so nobody is surprised by sleepovers,” a source close to the “On The Floor” songstress, 51, shared EXCLUSIVELY with HollywoodLife.
“This isn’t the first and it won’t be the last,” the insider reiterated. J.Lo was recently spotted at Ben’s Brentwood home on Friday, June 4. A few days earlier, the Argo Oscar winner, 48, was seen leaving J.Lo’s home with a smirk on his face. The two have kept a low-profile when it comes to the current status of their relationships, and that’s exactly what they want.

Ben is comfortable for her. They’re just getting to know one another again,” the source continued to share with HL.
