and were spotted strolling hand in hand after enjoying a lunch date in Brentwood on Saturday, following the actor asserting that he ‘for several years’.

This came after star Emma Hernan on the platform in 2019, ahead of his reunion with J-Lo.

Jennifer, 52, and Ben, 49, who again last year, nearly two decades after their initial relationship ended, revealed they were earlier this month after Jennifer confirmed the news via a fan announcement on her website.

During their recent outing together, the couple held hands in the sunshine at Country Mart in Brentwood, LA.

Singer and actress Jennifer looked chic and comfortable in a flowing black dress, which she cinched in at the waist with a belt.

She accessorised her simple look with orange-tinted aviator sunglasses, a layering of gold necklaces and gold hoop earrings.

The Love Don’t Cost A Thing chart-topper also held a roomy black handbag and wore white trainers, leaving her long brown hair loose.

Ben opted for his usual look of a plaid shirt – this one red and grey – with a white T-shirt underneath, black jeans and a pair of Vans trainers.

They chatted as they walked along the pavement before hopping into Ben’s Tesla, with the star driving them away.

Emma, 30, recently said during an episode of Selling Sunset’s newly dropped season five on Netflix that, before they started dating again, Ben had been messaging her on the celeb dating app.

However, a rep for Ben has shut down the claims, : ‘Raya has confirmed that he has not been an active member for several years.’

Speaking to co-star  in an episode in season five, which was released on Netflix on Friday, Emma said: ‘Obviously I’m still single. I’ve done the whole Raya thing.

‘You do know on Raya there’s some fiery people… You’ll know some of the people on there.’

Mentioning Batman actor Ben, Emma added: ‘He may or may not have been texting me.

‘He may or may not have asked to grab coffee a few times…’

A shocked Chrishell replied: ‘I didn’t know what he was asking to grab…’

‘No, no! Probably would’ve grabbed other things,’ she laughed. ‘But I didn’t go.’

When it was mentioned that she could have ‘foiled Bennifer’, Emma reflected: ‘Right? It was right before that. So maybe that wouldn’t have happened. 

‘We have the Boston connection so that was his opening pickup line.’

‘So he asked you out, you were very sweet and cute but you said no. Okay, well I think it’s actually very lovely, nice and sweet and cute,’ Chrishell added.

Elsewhere on Selling Sunset, fans were distracted by Jason Oppenheim awkwardly , while Christine Quinn on social media, following the new season’s dramatic finale.
