Summary

Before Gigli, Jersey Girl or Jenny From The Block, there was just Ben Affleck — a young masshole with a difficult home life who just wants to be loved. But when he finally meets the girl of his dreams, their supernova stardom threatens the very thing he’s been searching for all along.

This is a 2-part series on Bennifer, a power couple so hot they caused a media meltdown. Twice.
