Kim Kardashian praises Jennifer Lopez, Ben Affleck’s red carpet debut

Even Kim Kardashian isn’t immune to the charms of Bennifer 2.0.

“Long Live Bennifer,” Kardashian wrote via her Instagram Story under a snap of Ben Affleck and Jennifer Lopez making their red carpet debut as a couplethis decade — at the Venice Film Festival. It’s their first time on an official red carpet since February 2003 for the Affleck’s turn as “Daredevil.”

Engaged at the time, they split months later in January 2004.

Kardashian added a heart alongside the photo, taken at the premiere of “The Last Duel” Friday evening in Italy. Affleck, 49, co-wrote the Ridley Scott-directed film with longtime friend and frequent collaborator Matt Damon, who’s also on the record as a fan of Affleck’s on-again romance with J.Lo, 52.

Lopez and Affleck arrived in Italy in July to help ring in the “Let’s Get Loud” singer’s birthday on a mega-yacht, making their way to Venice earlier this week. They arrived in style on a water taxi and were subsequently snapped in a sweet one-on-one moment on the balcony of their hotel.

As anyone not living under the proverbial rock is by now aware, the new era of Bennifer began earlier this year when the couple reconciled following J.Lo’s split from fiancé Alex Rodriguez, though Affleck was reportedly laying the groundwork for months beforehand via email.

Since then, they’ve been almost paying for many a paparazzo’s rent with their PDA-packed outings, though they’ve alternated those with cute blended-family outings to theme parks.

They may even be changing up their living arrangements for each other: The couple toured a $65 million mansion in the ritzy Holmby Hills neighborhood of LA in July.
