Ben Affleck and Jennifer Lopez were ‘very affectionate’ during dinner date

Ben Affleck and Jennifer Lopez can’t keep their hands off each other.

The newly reunited couple — who made it clear that they’re back together in cozy new photos snapped outside the Pendry in West Hollywood — continued their love fest inside the hotel during dinner, a source tells Page Six.

“They were very affectionate, very cuddly,” the insider said. “He had his arm around her the whole time.”

The stars’ tableside PDA had an audience. We’re told Lopez’s longtime manager, Benny Medina, and her producing partner, Elaine Goldsmith-Thomas, joined the pair for dinner at Wolfgang Puck’s Merois.

The powerhouse quartet stayed for “a couple of hours,” the insider said, and were clearly hungry as they chowed down on dishes like crab fried rice, Wagyu steak, snapper, various appetizers, and a “spikey lemon” dessert.

Affleck, 48, and Lopez, 51 — who haven’t officially confirmed their relationship status — were spotted in LA after being holed up together in Miami last week.

Before that, they enjoyed a romantic rendezvous at the ultra-exclusive Yellowstone Club in Montana, where a source said they spent much of their time taking strolls, swimming and taking dips in the hot tub.

Their reunion comes after J.Lo’s breakup with fiancé Alex Rodriguez following rumors that he stepped out on her with “Southern Charm” star Madison LeCroy.

Affleck and Lopez got engaged in 2002 but never made it down the aisle. Lopez called the 2004 breakup “probably my first big heartbreak.”

Despite their hot and heavy romance reigniting, Lopez is making sure that her 13-year-old twins are he No. 1 priority, Page Six exclusively reported.

“She has to ensure that she is taking her children into account,” a source said about the “Jenny from the Block” performer, who is mom to Emme and Maximilian with ex-husband Marc Anthony. “They are her priority.”
