The NY Post says some believe Jennifer Lopez sang ''Sweet Caroline' at Sunday's Vax Live concert not only as a tribute to her mother, but also because it is the Red Sox anthem and because she is now reportedly dating Ben Affleck. Ben appeared at the concert immediately following J Lo's performance. ''Sweet Caroline'' is played at every Boston Red Sox home game. Ben is from Boston.
Radar Online says Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck are allegedly casually dating. A source tells the website, “Jennifer has a lot of friends and family members she could turn to for support, but no, she turns to Ben. Everyone knows Ben is the love that got away. With all his issues, he pushed her away, but now Ben is in a good place and the two of them are single. Of course, they are back together. If nothing was going on and they were just friends there would be all this secrecy. The two of them have something to hide which is why they are playing this game. Friends don’t act like this, secret lovers do. Jennifer is the rebound girl. After every breakup, she runs into the arms of someone comforting and familiar. Look, the odds of them getting engaged again are not good, but anyone thinking these two sexy people are drinking tea and playing cards together behind closed doors is nuts!”
