Lopez, who turns 54 today, was featured in the House of Gucci star’s latest Instagram post. Hayek shared an old photo of the two posing together with a star-studded group, which included familiar faces like Lopez’s now-husband Ben Affleck, as well as Susan Sarandon and Gael García Bernal.
In the pic, Hayek is stunning in a black dress with a plunging V-neckline that nearly touches her belly, accessorised with a dangling gold chain necklace. Meanwhile, Lopez looks pretty in a white skintight gown with ruffled sleeves, plus her signature large hoop earrings.

The actor reminisced about the duo’s early days of fame. “It made me think back to a time when they said we wouldn’t make it. Then they said we wouldn’t last 😂😂😂,” Hayek wrote. “Keep shining chica and keep enjoying every second of it!”
Hayek’s throwback photo captures Bennifer in the heyday of their early-’00s relationship. The couple got engaged in 2002 before splitting up in 2004. Nearly two decades after their infamous breakup, Lopez and Affleck reunited, officially tying the knot in an intimate Las Vegas wedding ceremony in July 2022.

Lopez confirmed their union in a fan newsletter hours after the wedding. “Stick around long enough and maybe you’ll find the best moment of your life in a drive through in Las Vegas at twelve thirty in the morning in the tunnel of love drive through, with your kids and the one you’ll spend forever with,” she wrote at the time. “Love is a great thing, maybe the best of things-and worth waiting for.”
