Ben Affleck Pushes Fan Who Got Too Close to Him and Jennifer Lopez in Italy
Protective boyfriend mode! Ben Affleck pushed a fan who got too close to him and girlfriend Jennifer Lopez as the couple left Italy. Ben, 49, and Jen, 52, were walking through an airport as they prepared to depart Venice when they were approached by a maskless fan, according to photos obtained by Page Six. The fan held a phone and seemed to be attempting to take a selfie with the couple, but he got a little too close for comfort. Ben quickly reacted by placing his hands on the man’s chest and shoving him back. The “Jenny From the Block” singer stepped back from the scuffle, and that’s when their security guard stepped in to further restrain the fan. After the situation was under control, Bennifer held hands and continued walking through the airport. The pair spent the weekend in the Italian city for the Venice International Film Festival. On Thursday, September 9, they were seen packing on the PDA on a water taxi after their arrival. The following day, the couple made their red carpet debut 17 years after their breakup.
