Bennifer 2.0 has debuted on the red carpet. Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck recently walked the red carpet together. The two were spotted at the premiere of Affleck’s ‘The Last Duel’ at the Venice International Film Festival. The two had dated for years and gotten engaged before they broke up in 2004. However, they are not the only celeb couple that could not quite shake each other. Here is a list of five of your favourite celeb couples who found their way back to each other.
- Gigi Hadid and Zayn Malik
The couple has not made the fans privy to the reason for their March 2018 split, but it certainly left fans shocked, shattered and heartbroken. Shortly after, around May that very year, the couple was spotted together, as they would continue to be. In June of 2018, Hadid had posted a picture of the two cuddling, although neither officially confirmed they are an item again. How fans received the confirmation was the announcement of the two expecting a child together on the Tonight show where she told the host Jimmy Fallon “We’re very excited and happy and grateful for everyone’s well-wishes and support.” She went on to add that the silver lining to the pandemic is that the two get to stay at home and experience the pregnancy together, day by day.
- Chrissy Teigen and John Legend
With Teigen’s sass and Legend’s (obvious) awe of her, the two may be the perfect celebrity couple. However, the two also split, albeit very briefly.
“Early on in the relationship, I was on tour with him and he’d gotten sick,” Teigen told Cosmopolitan back in 2016. “He was feeling really bummed and stressed out. He was like, ‘I can’t be in a relationship right now.'” However, knowing Teigen, the split only “lasted for one day.” She said, “I knew it came from a place other than us not working.” She challenged his decision because she knew he was acting on the whim of having braved a particularly tough day. She later clarified in a Tweet in 2017 that it wasn’t “a typical breakup,” saying that, “He was on tour and his voice hurt and he was being a whiny face about everything and so yeah, I was like, ‘no.'”
- Justin Bieber and Hailey Baldwin
The two seem to be the definition of matrimonial bliss now, but only a few years back “there was a period where if I walked into a room, he would walk out,” said Baldwin to Vogue about the messy breakup the two endured around 2016. “Negative things happened that we still need to talk about and work through,” Hailey told the magazine of their 2016 split three years later. “‘Fizzled’ would not be the right word — it was more like a very dramatic excommunication,” she continued. During the time they split, Bieber briefly dated Sofia Richie before he famously rekindled his romance with his on-again, off-again ex Selena Gomez before he got back together with Hailey in 2018 after they met at a conference in Miami hosted by pastor Rich Wilkerson Jr. They were engaged by July of that year.
- Bella Hadid and The Weeknd
Anyone who has been following the status of their relationship knows that these two got very messy. Shortly after Hadid and The Weeknd broke up in 2016, he began dating Selena Gomez. Hadid and the Weeknd were distanced as the former was trying to warn him against his current love interest, worried she was just using him. The singer took it to be jealousy. However, in about 10 months, Gomez and The Weeknd broke up and soon after, she had rekindled her romance with on-again-off-again beau, Justin Beiber. The two then got back together, loads of PDA involved, before they broke it off again due a difference in schedules. According to a source, the pair had not “spent quality time together in months.” They are not back together but have always maintained that they are friendly, have huge respect for each other and reconciliation is always a possibility.
- Cardi B & Offset
The two have powered through not one but two rough patches to remain together. The couple has been together since 2016. They married, secretly in the year 2017 and gave birth to their first child together, Kulture, in 2018. However, cheating rumours caused a rift between the two, becoming the reason for the first split. Having braved that as a couple, Cardi had filed for divorce in 2020. Offset was quickly able to change her mind and the couple welcomed their second child on September 4 this year.
Some other couples that broke up before they were back together are Katy Perry & Orlando Bloom, Kristen Bell & Dax Shepard, Kate Middleton & Prince William. Some people are just meant to be together. Maybe not you and your toxic ex, though.
