    It seems like just yesterday that Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck were cozying up on a boat in Italy... and in some ways it was. Back in July, the lovebirds made their rekindled relationship very official by making out on a yacht somewhere in the Mediterranean, and posting it on J-Lo's Instagram.

    After a brief amount of time back in the States, the couple jetted off back to Italy for the Venice Film Festival, where fans were once again treated to a look at how intimate the two are with each other.

    Heading to day 9 events at the festival in a water taxi, Lopez and Affleck snuggled up to each other, his arm pressed around her shoulders. They took turns whispering sweet nothing into each other's ears (oh, what I'd give to be a fly on that hull), and getting their faces as close to each other's as physically possible without actually locking lips. I just hope they remembered to brush their teeth.

    For the occasion, Lopez wore the most elegant white, long-sleeved, midi Valentino dress, all lace and grace. She accessorized with giant black and white Prada sunglasses, heeled sandals, simple chainmail jewelry and a navy croc-effect handbag. Timeless.

    J-Lo has been wowing the crowds in Venice since late August, when she stepped out for the Dolce & Gabbana Alta Moda fashion show in an unforgettably regal brocade get-up.

    • Jennifer Lopez was seen adding a little Roman Sparkle To Her Jewellery collection out in Rome, Italy. Jennifer was seen dining, enjoying a spot of lunch with her child Emme Maribel Muniz at a Trattoria in Central Rome, Italy. J-Lo was then seen visiting the historic Eleuteri Jewellery Store, a renowned family-run luxury house specializing in rare antique and vintage signed jewelry on Via Condotti, where it would seem the singer and actress was keen to purchase a vintage diamond bracelet during the shopping trip. Jennifer cut some style in a white lace-trimmed slip dress, a floral-print silk headscarf, oversized sunglasses, and a woven shoulder tote bag.

    It's unclear when Affleck joined her, but what's for sure is we haven't seen the last of this pair. There could even be a wedding on the horizon—fingers crossed!
