This was bound to happen, but I didn’t expect it to happen now. Six months after they broke up, and just a few weeks after they were spotted “hanging out” again, iced coffee connoisseur Ben Affleck and ex-girlfriend Lindsay Shookus are “totally back on,” according to Us Weekly.
Shookus was reportedly the one to reach back out after the breakup, which happened around the same time Affleck went into rehab for alcohol addiction, where he completed a 40-day program. He’s been doing well, looking buff, and when the two were spotted hanging out again earlier this month, the narrative was that they’re just friends, and getting back together didn’t make sense right now. Wrong!
According to Us Weekly, Shookus and Affleck just didn’t want to say it at first, but things have been “easy” between the two of them and “they’ve picked up right where they left off.” A nice little development. Congrats to the happy couple.
