Lopez and Affleck then stayed at the ultra-exclusive Yellowstone Club, located in the remote mountain enclave of Big Sky, and were holed up in a private home that boasted its own private chef. The Gigli costars reportedly spent much of their time taking walks, swimming in the pools and taking dips in the hot tub.

"[Jennifer] spent several days with Ben out of town,” another source dished to PEOPLE, adding the two “have a strong connection. It's all been quick and intense, but Jennifer is happy." The source noted that the exes were later spotted arriving back in L.A. on Saturday, May 8, via a private jet.
