![]() That doesn’t mean reconsidering your first love is a doomed mission. “We can find ourselves romanticizing them.” “Often when we’re taking stock of previous relationships, we can somehow remove ourselves from the emotions at the time of the breakup,” says Sarah Louise Ryan, a UK-based dating and relationships expert. Earlier this week, when asked about the coupledom in an interview with Hoda Kotb, Lopez side-stepped the question, saying instead, “The message of healing and love is more prevalent than ever.” (And OK, he wasn’t technically her first love - she was married when they met - but she has called him her first real heartbreak.) A 2019 study in the journal Social Psychological and Personality Science found that we’re more likely to think positively about exes when we’re single or haven’t fully accepted a breakup, which could account in part for their reunion. And if Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck’s recent rekindling is any indicator, it’s certainly possible. Imagining a romantic reunion with your first love is a heady drug.
