Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck are said to be committed to seeing each other even if they are living miles and miles away from each other. The rumored couple is reportedly prepared to make the long-distance relationship work after they were recently photographed together in Miami.

People reported that Affleck will be staying in Miami for a few days since they want to spend as much time together as possible. The media outlet said the two Hollywood stars are very excited about their relationship.

"They will travel back and forth as much as they can to make things work," an unnamed tipster told the publication. "They don't want to hide anymore. They are both excited about their relationship. They want to make sure they do everything they can to make this work. Jennifer is incredibly happy. She feels like she can just be herself around Ben."

Lopez and Affleck had made a trip to Los Angeles last month. The "Let's Get Loud" songstress, reportedly, flew off to L.A. to attend the funeral of her close pal's mother.

However, other sources claimed that Lopez returned to the West Coast to reconnect with Affleck. An informant stated that the two had kept in touch every day since their Montana trip.

Lopez and Affleck were pictured outside the "On the Floor" hitmaker's L.A. home in late April, just a few weeks since her split from Alex Rodriguez. On May 8, the pair were spotted driving together in the Big Sky area of Montana.

Affleck reportedly reached out to Lopez as a friend after he knew about the latter's breakup from Rodriguez. "He was basically checking up on her," a source said at the time. "He was single and thought she might be single, too."

Lopez and Affleck were engaged in 2002. They worked together in "Gigli" and "Jersey Girl" movies. The former lovebirds postponed their 2003 wedding just days before the ceremony. They shocked their devoted supporters when they announced their split in January 2004.

Both Lopez and Affleck have yet to comment on the reunion reports.
