Rumor has it that Jennifer Lopez might call dibs on the newly single Ben Affleck, who recently divorced Jennifer Garner with whom he has three children.

One of Lopez's former publicist claims that the singer has a thing with going back to her exes.

“Jennifer, historically, has had a pattern of going back to past romances,” said Rob Shuter, reports New York Magazine. “She dated Marc [Anthony], she broke up with him, she fell head over heels with Ben Affleck, and then when they broke up, she ran back to the arms of Marc, and within months they were married.”

Shuter, who is host of VH1’s “The Gossip Table," could be right. Let's take Casper Smart, for example. The couple is allegedly dating again after calling it quits in 2014. Shuter also wouldn't doubt if the Puerto Rican actress and California-based actor still keep in touch after their break up in 2004.

“Would it surprise me if they talk to each other? They've got each other's emails and phone numbers,” he said. “Would it surprise me if someone reached out, in the same way that regular people do? I'd send a text or an email saying, “Gosh, I read in the newspaper, I'm pretty sorry.”

The publicist represented JLo during her breakup with Affleck and recalled the boom that "Bennifer" had. “They were a gorgeous couple who played into the attention. They gave us a lot of access to photograph them,” he said. “When he was on a boat, rubbing cream on her fantastic bottom… That’s why those two exploded in the press.”
