Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck are official…again.

The couple stepped out for their first public appearance together since rekindling their romance.

And the event definitely suited the occasion.

The power pair left jaws ajar as they rocked the red carpet at the 78th Annual Venice Film Festival, where Affleck’s new movie ‘The Last Duel’ premiered.

Etched in pop culture history, folk will recall that the pair previously dated in 2002 and were famously billed “Bennifer” by the media. A 2003 wedding was postponed just days before it was meant to take place and the stars officially went their separate ways in 2004.

17 years after first splitting, love has prevailed and we must say they wear it well.
