It seems as though the romance between Ben Affleck and Jennifer Lopez is only going from strength to strength.

Per PageSix, the pair - who were previously engaged before their romance crumbled in 2004 - were spotted making out while enjoying a romantic dinner together.

Images emerged on social media showing 51-year-old Lopez and 48-year-old Affleck kissing in swanky restaurant Nobu in Malibu on Sunday, June 13.

PageSix reports that the amorous pair were celebrating the 50th birthday of Lopez's sister Linda when the paparazzi captured pictures of their public display of affection.

Videos of the event show that J.Lo's kids - whom she shares with ex-husband Marc Anthony - were also present.

On Twitter, social media users have since reacted to the pictures and gushed over the reignited relationship, using the hashtag #Bennifer to discuss the reignited spark between the two.

For instance, one fan wrote: "OMG!!! Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck are kissing and s***. I loved it. Let the chaos that is #Bennifer 1.0 officially start [sic]"

A second person stated: "Whuuut?! 😳 Ben Affleck and Jennifer Lopez are back together!! [sic]"

Then this fan compared an image of them locking lips on Sunday with another dating from when they first started dating.

Another person wrote simply: "IM NOT OKAY #bennifer [sic]"

Meanwhile, someone else chimed in: "Now just give us back Jen & Brad and life is complete! #Bennifer. [sic]"

This is just one of many recent occasions where Lopez has been seen in an intimate setting with Affleck, following her breakup with Alex Rodriguez earlier this year.

Affleck and Lopez had their arms wrapped around each other while heading to Wolfgang Puck’s new restaurant at the Pendry hotel in West Hollywood on Monday, May 31.

They were also spotted enjoying a cozy vacation at the Big Sky Resort in Montana, near Yellowstone National Park, back in May.

Lopez and Affleck first dated between 2002 and 2004. They were set to marry but infamously broke off their engagement just four days before their wedding.

Affleck then married fellow actress Jennifer Garner, in 2005, having three children with her before their divorce in 2018.

Meanwhile, Lopez subsequently married Marc Anthony in 2004 and had two children with him before their divorce ten years later.

Lopez touched on the subject of her past relationship with Affleck in a 2014 interview with HuffPost Live, stating: "No regrets. I would do it all over again I think. I really would. Even the relationship part."

She then added: "I just feel like everything is part of your story and your journey and is meant to be and helps you grow if you're willing to look at it, and I'm willing to look."
