As OK! reported, the alleged couple's reunion made headlines after Affleck was seen going to J.Lo's California home multiple times in April, shortly after her split with ex-fiancé Alex Rodriguez. The actor was snapped being picked up in a white Escalade SUV, which apparently belongs to Lopez, 51, before being escorted to her mansion.
