They've been cruising around Europe on a $130million yacht for her luxury
52nd birthday trip.
And Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck, 48, could
not keep their hands off each other as they enjoyed a very steamy dinner
date during their romantic stop in Nerano, Italy, on Wednesday.
The singer beamed a smile as she perched on her hunky beau's lap
during the meal at Le Scoglio and shared passionate kisses while still
sitting at the table.
Jennifer, who looked sensational in a red and white striped
shirt, was full of smiles and struggled to hide her delight as she wrapped
an arm around the actor and lovingly gazed into his eyes.
Ben
also seemed to be in great spirits, looking up at his stunning girlfriend
and smiling before leaning in for more kisses from the sizzling star.
ennifer wore an elegant ensemble for the dinner, opting
for a ab-flashing crop top and wide-leg white trousers.
She tied
her caramel tresses back into a chic up-do, letting the front of her locks
fall down to frame her pretty features, but being careful not to have too
much hair in the way of any passionate kisses from Ben.
Ben also cut a smart figure for the romantic meal out in Nerano
and looked dapper in a patterned polo shirt and cream chinos.
Ben
and Jennifer had been set to wed in 2003 but postponed their wedding before
calling off their relationship.
They rekindled their romance a
few months ago after her split from Alex Rodrigez in April 2021 following
four years of dating.
And since going public with their romance,
Ben and Jennifer have been enjoying a luxury yacht holiday with stops in
Monaco, St Tropez and Capri as well as Nerano.
Jennifer's ex ARod
has also been in St Tropez in recent days, celebrating his 46th birthday on
a rented Ocean Paradise yacht, which has an eye-watering price tag of
€27,000,000 ($31,860,810) and can hold 12 guests and another 12 crew.
Yet that is no match for Jennifer's Valerie, priced at
€110,000,000 ($129,817,600) where earlier this week she and Ben were seen
recreating steamy scenes from her 2002 music video Jenny from the Block.
Jen's rented 85-metre vessel Valerie was built by Lürssen in
2011 and underwent an extensive refit in 2019. It can accommodate 17 guests
in nine well-appointed cabins with space for a 27-strong crew.
The Valerie boasts seven bedrooms across six decks on which to
enjoy the voyage, and the theme of wellness runs throughout with a steam
room and even a Hamman, said to be decorated with mosaics - according to
Boat International.
There are also massage rooms and
spaces for beauty treatments. While a gym with a panoramic view of the ocean
opens out onto an outdoor space with room for dining and a fountain that
lights up at night.
Launched in 2011 and refitted in 2019, the vessel has six decks
all served by an elevator and has an onboard 20 foot-long pool and a Jacuzzi
which is one of five outdoor spaces. With its spectacular outdoor dining
area, the boat was designed with London's iconic hotel Claridge's in mind.
The main deck and lounge are designed for hosting and
centered around a uniquely designed self-playing piano.
Speaking
about the new couple's relationship, a source said recently: 'They [Jennifer
and Ben] are having a beautiful trip. 'They celebrated Jen's birthday at a
club. She looked gorgeous and very happy.'
Jennifer is said to be
'fully committed' to Ben but doesn't want to jump into an engagement or
marriage any time soon.
A source explained: '[They] are fully
committed to each other... They have been meshing their lives and families
and don't feel the need to get engaged yet or even tie the knot.
'They have both been there and don't feel it's necessary. They
are both very secure within their relationship and Ben worships her.
'It's
truly meant to be and everyone around them thinks they are a perfect
match.'
But it doesn't look like it will be long before the
loved-up pair take their relationship to the next level by moving in
together.
An insider said: 'Their friends wouldn't be surprised
if they move in together and ultimately end up together. They're spending
all of their free time together and making each other a priority.'
Ben has children Violet, 15, Seraphina, 12, and Samuel, nine,
with his ex-wife Jennifer Garner, while Jennifer has 13-year-old twins Emme
and Max with ex Marc Anthony.
