    Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck Did Some Real Mom-and-Dad Dancing During the Super Bowl

    I just hope their kids weren't watching.

    J.Lo is a gorgeous, talented international superstar, and cool mom extraordinaire. Her boyfriend Ben Affleck has more of a down-to-earth, regular-guy dad vibe. Put these two together and you get a) a great time and b) a recipe for totally embarrassing their five collective kids.

    The lovebirds were spotted in the stands at the Super Bowl, just having their own little private party. Jennifer Lopez wore some large famous-person sunglasses and large famous-person hoop earrings, and Affleck wore, ahem, a shirt. At one point, they appeared on an audience cam while dancing happily and kinda goofily.

    I mean, Lopez has moves, obviously: She's a professional dancer. Affleck next to her just did some awkward head-bobbing. The whole effect is adorable and lovely and relatable. (At least I can relate—I could probably give Affleck a run for his money when it comes to awkward head-bobbing.)

    Viewers, unsurprisingly, were more than a little obsessed with the couple's obvious happiness while watching the big game. "jlo spotted dancing with ben affleck at the super bowl is my super bowl," tweeted journalist Joseph Longo.

    "I don't care if it's cheesy. JLo and Ben Affleck are just adorable together. They look happy and that's it. All the best!" wrote another Twitter user.

    • 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.

    Reporter Courtney Theriault chimed in with some very serious scientific data: "32% of Super Bowl viewers are only watching for the Ben Affleck - JLo cameos." (Just for the avoidance of doubt, this is not in fact very serious scientific data.)

    Last but not least, a J. Lo fan account wrote, "I WANNA GO TO A PARTY WITH JLO & BEN AFFLECK," which, yes.
