If PDA were an Olympic sport, Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck would be champs. But there's something more that's driving interest in Bennifer: the storybook nature of long-lost love requited.
The A-listers rekindled their romance 17 years after they broke up in 2004. It's a familiar road to countless couples who came together years after coming apart.
The Merced, California, couple -- he a youth center program director and she a nurse -- met in eighth-grade math class after Escobar was sent to live with an uncle just outside Seattle to escape his troubled youth in New York. Meg Calkins, a 56-year-old college professor in Raleigh, North Carolina, and Steve Badger, a lawyer of the same age, became close friends in Indianapolis in fifth grade. They remained in the friend zone through high school but became college sweethearts junior year, just briefly.
He wasn't. He got over it. He wound up reaching out himself on Facebook after his divorce. They chatted online, then Badger drove 100 miles to have lunch with Calkins in Louisville, Kentucky, where her daughter was playing in a volleyball tournament. Clinical psychologist Carla Marie Manly, author of "Date Smart: Transform Your Relationships & Love Fearlessly," agreed.
