Ben Affleck's 'longing letters to ex Jennifer Lopez sparked reunion 17 years on'

Ben Affleck reportedly poured his soul out to his ex Jennifer Lopez in a bid to win her back.

They appeared to confirm they were back together when the pair were spotted on a secret getaway to Montana where the actor owns a chalet.

In the limelight, the famous exes were once known as Bennifer when they were together once upon a time.

Rumours have been swirling about the pair rekindling the flames of their love from 17 years ago.

It's emerged apparently Ben sent "loving" words "longing for" Jennifer over email while she was filming Shotgun Wedding in the Dominican Republic.

The Gone Girl actor was believed to have reached out to his ex in February earlier this year following his split from Ana de Armas in January.

At the time, he was filming in Boston for The Tender Bar with George Clooney.

It's understood Ben and Jennifer did not meet up during this time but they continued to email each other until April when her filming wrapped up, according to TMZ.

They were first spotted together in May, two weeks after J-Lo had ended her engagement to Alex Rodriguez (A-Rod).

While their romance has seemingly escalated in recent weeks, it appears their reconnection has been a low burn.

The Mirror has reached out to Ben Affleck and Jennifer Lopez's representatives for further comment.

Ben has made no secret of his admiration for his ex Jennifer in recent weeks.

For May's cover story of InStyle, the Batman star shared his gushing thoughts over J-Lo and her "fountain of youth".

As well as her looks, Ben was extremely complimentary of her talent and success in the showbiz world.

He said of his ex: "Where are you keeping the fountain of youth? Why do you look the same as you did in 2003 and it kind of looks like I'm in my 40s…at best?"

He added: "She has great talent, but she has also worked very hard for her success, and I’m so happy for her that she seems, at long last, to be getting the credit she deserves."

Their love goes way back in the spotlight.

And it's an incredible story many people know.

They were one of the hottest celebrity couples at the time.

The famous exes first dated in 2002 for around two years before calling time on their headline-grabbing romance.

The formerly engaged duo broke it off in January 2004, just days before they planned to tie the knot.
