Sorry, y’all! Whatever hopes you might have been harboring about Bennifer 2.0 (er, 3.0?) should be officially dashed, because it is off the menu. But don’t go thinking the show is over just yet! While technically they’re dunzo in the romance department, these two Hollywood heavyweights are serving up some seriously friendly vibes that have tongues wagging!
So, wait, let’s go back a bit: the whole world knows that Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck rekindled their early 2000s magic by tying the knot in 2022. It was glam, glossy, and giving true love part deux. But fast forward to August of last year when the Waiting For Tonight singer filed for divorce, officially moving to forever close the chapter on their love. Sad face, right? Well, maybe not so fast…
Just when we thought it was all courtroom drama and icy silences, the two turned up *together* on the red carpet for the Monday night premiere of J.Lo’s new film Kiss of the Spider Woman! And guys, they looked friendly AF! Like, really friendly. We’re talking shared laughs, cozy smiles, and red carpet posing like it’s 2002 again.
But don’t go planning a reunion tour yet! A source spoke to Us Weekly about the pair’s shocking red carpet closeness this week, and slammed the door HARD on any reconciliation possibilities:
“They are not getting back together but are in a great place and are able to communicate better and have a friendship.”
Hmmm… That “but” is doing a lot of heavy lifting! LOLz!!
TBH, tho, it’s giving amicable exes with history and not passionate rekindling. Which makes sense, because apparently getting to this chill zone wasn’t exactly easy-breezy. The source added:
“It took a lot of time for them to get to this place.”
Welp, sounds like through all the divorce difficulties of the recent past, at least now the vibes are good enough for Ben to show up at Jenny’s big night!
So why was Mr. Batman there, anyways? Nostalgia? A cryptic message to the world? Nope! Another source added:
“There is nothing going on between them. He went because he’s a producer.”
Duh! That’s right! Ben’s company Artist’s Equity (co-founded with his bestie Matt Damon, obvi), produced the film. So technically it was a work thing, as you might say. But that didn’t stop social media from losing their minds over seeing the exes share a laugh.
And they were so sweet, so respectful, and juuust close enough on that red carpet to keep us all on the edge of our seats. Sooo, y’all better stay tuned! Because with these two, you just never know…
Amy Luciani, the soon-to-be ex-wife of former NBA star Dwight Howard, is sparking reconciliation rumors after the rapper and ex-reality TV star shared photos of herself posing alongside the athlete on Sept. 1. Luciani, who filed for divorce from the baller in July, shared two photos on Monday to her Instagram Stories that showed her looking happy alongside the Los Angeles Lakers alum.
In one image, the 35-year-old former Love & Hip Hop: Atlanta star stood beside Howard, 39, as he sat in a green armchair, her hand resting on his shoulder while his arm was noticeably wrapped around her leg. Another photo showed the pair cozied up together in a car, with a brown heart emoji placed above them.
The same images were also shared in a photo carousel, with one image capturing Luciani sporting a huge diamond ring on her hand as she rested by a beautiful pool. The caption read:
“Quitting was too easy. Aht ahtttttt enemy!”
Fans flooded the comments section with supportive messages, speculating whether the pair were back on good terms and if the ongoing divorce would be called off.
“I don’t think she’s getting a divorce, praise the lord,” wroteone Instagram user.
“No married couple is perfect, and can’t no one judge your choices when it comes to your relationships do what God and your heart says. I wish you all the love and happiness, you both.”
On TheShadeRoom’s post about the couple’s possible reconciliation, Amy’s mother, Jahzara Sankofa, commented and applauded her daughter for continuing to commit to her marriage.
“I’m so proud of my child @amylucianiworld and son-in-law @dwighthoward for choosing each other, choosing grace, and choosing to fight for love when the world tries to tear it down,” wrote Sankofa. “Every great marriage has storms, but real strength is in the decision to weather them together. What matters most isn’t the noise, it’s the commitment, the growth, and the bond that only they can define.”
Amy Luciani filed for divorce in July, citing that the marriage was “irretrievably broken.”
As previously reported, Luciani filed for divorce on July 1 in Georgia’s Superior Court of Gwinnett County, officially ending her marriage with Howard. While the filing did not specify a reason for the breakup, it did state that if Luciani can demonstrate the marriage is “irretrievably broken,” the court would have grounds to grant the divorce.
The couple wed in a private ceremony in early February 2025, just weeks after announcing their surprising engagement in December 2024. Luciani—whose real name is Amber Rose Howard—confirmed the split, issuing an exclusive statement to The Shade Room on July 8.
“Although it is true, I am not sure how it got out to the public,” the reality TV star said at the time. “Still wrapping my head around a lot. Although I know it won’t happen, I hope the public can give us grace and privacy right now.”
Luciani asked for a fair division of all real and personal property accumulated during the marriage, including a balanced split of assets and debts. However, some curious fans quickly began speculating that she was trying to cash in on Howard’s wealth. She later dismissed those claims, firmly denying that she was after half of the NBA star’s assets following the divorce filing.
“With such a private moment like a marriage ending. I really do want to keep a lot private, but it’s hard to watch this narrative spreading quickly about me,” she wrote in a follow-up post shared on July 9, according to an image obtained by Complex. “I til this day have never asked him for a single dollar. Not 30 cents. Before we married, I asked to sign a prenup. I text it right to him. I told him I want to sign a prenup because I believe what you worked for is yours, and I’m not the type of woman to take what’s not mine. I mentioned a prenup first!! He declined. I do not want any of his assets.”
Luciani clarified that the rumors did not reflect her true “character,” and noted that her marriage to the NBA All-Star was rooted purely in love.
“Believe it or not, some of us women really date/marry for love,” she added.
Do you think Amy Luciani and Dwight Howard are back together?
The realization that your husband has been cheating on you comes as a massive blow that makes you feel like the life you’ve built so painstakingly is crumbling before your eyes. You’re left grappling with a whirlwind of emotions — hurt, anger, shame, and pain — and may struggle to find a way forward. The aftermath of infidelity is a hellish experience for both the cheater and the betrayed spouse. It becomes even more unbearable if you begin to see signs your husband misses his affair partner.
That’s because if he is still pining for her, there is a good chance your husband still has feelings for affair partner. Talk about adding insult to injury. Now, given the fragile emotional state you’d likely be in ever since you started seeing the signs your husband is having an affair only to have your worst fears come true, it’s important to make sure that you’re reading the situation right.
Does he miss the other woman or is it merely remorse or cheating guilt manifesting in different ways? It’s imperative to know the difference to deal with the situation effectively. To help you make the distinction, I shine the light on some of the most common signs a married man has feelings for his mistress and misses her, with insights from relationship experts and couples counselors.
11 Signs Your Husband Misses His Affair Partner — Heartbreaking But True
A friend of mind — let’s call her Jane — found herself faced with the dreadful reality that her husband of 13 years had fallen in love with his affair partner and pined for her almost a year after he supposedly ended the affair when she heard him mumbling her name in his sleep. It was, then, that she started paying closer attention to his behavior, and it became clear to her that while her husband had chosen to stay married to her, he was merely going through the motions since.
She confided in me one day, “I can’t remember the last time he genuinely laughed or felt excited by something. It’s like I’m living with the shell of the man he used to be. The signs my husband wants another woman are clear as day. It breaks my heart to see him, to see us, live this way. Why does he miss the other woman so much? Why aren’t I good enough for him?”
Jane, ultimately, decided that there was no point dragging on a dead marriage and they parted ways. Coming to terms with the fact that her husband missed his affair partner even after ending things with her was harder for her to come to terms with than the incident of infidelity itself. She is still working through post-infidelity stress disorder and trying to rebuild her life.
When your husband misses his affair partner, there will be an inevitable emotional distance between you
Weighing in on why this happens, psychotherapist Dr. Aman Bhonsle says, “The signs your husband misses his affair partner emerge only if that relationship was rooted in intense feelings. If he felt supported and better understood in that connection, there was trust and good sexual chemistry, he may long for his affair partner even if chose to end that relationship for whatever reasons.”
Now, the question is, how do you find out if something similar has been happening in your marriage? Here are some heartbreaking but accurate signs your husband misses his affair partner you ought to pay attention to:
1. He seems emotionally withdrawn
Does he miss the other woman? This question is bound to cross your mind, particularly if you’re trying to reconcile and rebuild your relationship after infidelity. One of the most telling indicators that your husband still has feelings for affair partner and misses her is that he becomes emotionally withdrawn.
He may not want to communicate with you
He may shy away from spending time with you
He may seem preoccupied
He may exhibit signs of emotional numbness
A man may struggle to figure out how to get over an affair partner if that relationship was rooted in a deep emotional connection. If he and his affair partner stuck by each other through thick and thin, helped each other in times of crisis and became a source of support and comfort, a man may miss that genuine give-and-take of care and compassion.
Another one of the clear signs your husband misses his affair partner is that the decision to end that relationship has taken a toll on his emotional well-being. As a result, he may become more irritable and moodier. Counseling psychologist Anugrah Edmonds says, “Unresolved feelings for an affair partner can lead to a relationship dynamic of stonewalling. It can cause extreme mood swings and make men lose control over their emotions, leading to irritability and angry outbursts.”
To heal from the blow of infidelity, both partners need to put the incident behind them and not drudge it up over and over again once they’ve processed their emotions and decided to give their relationship another chance. However, if your partner invariably brings up his affair partner, often as a way of comparing you to her (and she always comes out looking good in that comparison), it’s one of the undeniable signs he misses his affair partner. It also indicates that he was deeply invested in that relationship — perhaps, to the point that he was considering leaving marriage for affair partner — and is struggling to get over her.
4. You can sense that he feels trapped in the marriage
Statistics suggest that only 5-7% of people leave their spouses for a long-term relationship/marriage with their affair partners. In the majority of cases, when push comes to shove, people choose marriage over extramarital affairs. Dr. Bhonsle says, “This could be due to a variety of reasons such as societal disapproval, family pressure, not wanting to put the children through the agony of a divorce, or not disrupting the logistical support offered by the spouse.”
However, just because he chose to end the affair doesn’t mean that all the feelings he had for that person will go away instantly. If your husband was emotionally invested, he may struggle to figure out how to get over an affair partner. Or if he was planning on leaving marriage for affair partner, all those dashed hopes and dreams may make him miserable. As a result, you may begin to see clear signs he feels trapped in the marriage, these include:
5. He hasn’t made an effort to repair his relationship with you
While possible, repairing a relationship after cheating is no joke. Understandably, the lion’s share of the responsibility falls on the cheating partner. As counseling psychologist Jui Pimple says, “If you have broken your partner’s trust, you have to work hard to earn it back.”
However, if your partner has taken no initiative to make amends or work toward rebuilding trust and repairing his relationship with you ever since you’ve navigated the turmoil of spotting the signs your husband is having an affair to actually uncovering his transgressions, it could be because his heart’s not in it. This is one of the clearest signs a married man has feelings for his mistress and misses her.
6. He is still secretive about his phone
As you begin to notice the signs your husband is having an affair and then go on to discover his infidelity, trust gets completely shattered. To be able to heal from this setback, you need to work on rebuilding the trust. Counseling psychologist Ridhi Golecha says, “Both partners need to commit to total transparency and honesty if they want to rebuild the lost trust.” However, if your husband is still grappling with the question of how to get over an affair partner and yearns for her, he may not make good on this promise.
11 Signs Your Husband Misses His Affair Partner
7. He gets defensive
When recovering from the setback of infidelity, a couple has to have several difficult conversations. As the betrayed partner, you may have several questions to ask your unfaithful spouse, and if he committed to rebuilding the relationship, he will answer these questions and try to assuage your concerns.
However, if your husband gets defensive and irritable whenever you bring up his transgressions and doesn’t want to hear a word against his affair partner, it’s a worrying sign. You may wonder, “Why does my husband defend his affair partner?” Well, because he likely still has feelings for her and missed having her in his life. The signs of his emotional investment in the other woman cannot get more glaring than that.
8. He stalks his affair partner on social media
My college roommate and best friend, Shirley, found out that her husband was having an affair with his. To give the marriage another chance and start afresh, the couple moved to Canada. Five years and two kids later, she chanced upon the woman’s name in her husband’s Facebook search history. She became vigilant and started tracking his social media activity on the sly.
To her dismay, she found that her husband would stalk his ex and former affair partner for hours every day. “Why does he miss the other woman so much even after all this time? What does this mean for my marriage? I upended my entire life to give this relationship another chance, and now I don’t know what to do,” she said.
If you notice something similar in the post-infidelity phase of your marriage, it should put you on the alert. Social media stalking is a clear indicator of residual feelings and the fact that your husband hasn’t been able to figure out how to get over an affair partner.
9. The intimacy in your relationship has taken a hit
Rebuilding intimacy after the storm of infidelity has shaken up the very foundation of your relationship is not easy. Counseling psychologist Nandita Rambhia says, “Most couples experience awkwardness when trying to be intimate after one partner’s unfaithfulness has come to light because there are a lot of mental blocks that can impede emotional connection and sexual intimacy.”
However, in cases where the cheating partner has truly moved on from the affair, there is an intent as well as a sincere effort to bridge this gap and make amends. On the other hand, if your husband is still emotionally hung up on his affair partner, he may show no interest in reviving emotional and physical intimacy in the relationship. If you’ve been asking, “What are the signs my husband wants another woman?”, this is the one you need to look out for.
10. He reminisces about his affair partner with close friends or a confidant
Ending an affair doesn’t mean that all the feelings he had for that person will go away instantly
It’s unlikely that your husband will be so audacious as you reminisce about the other woman in front of you or talk about her in a way that leaves you wondering, “Why does my husband defend his affair partner?” However, if he does still have feelings for her and misses her, he might let all the longing and heartache slip in front of close friends or a confidant he trusts with his life.
If you’re looking for signs your husband misses his affair partner, it can help to test how the people in his inner circle react to the mention of that woman. Of course, only if you trust them and know that they know about your spouse’s transgression. Anything short of a resounding reiteration of the fact that he regrets his actions and has put the affair behind him is a red flag that your husband hasn’t yet figured out how to get over an affair partner.
11. He prioritizes everything except your marriage
Does he miss the other woman? What are the signs my husband wants another woman? Do these questions weigh on your mind? Well, that, in itself, is an indicator that something is amiss. These questions are the outcome of your instincts picking up on his lack of investment in the marriage and desire to be with the other woman.
If that relationship was intense enough that your husband was considering leaving marriage for affair partner and has decided to stay only because of societal or familial obligations and pressures, he will make no real effort to repair his relationship with you. In this case, he may prioritize everything — his work, his friends, his parents, your kids, his hobbies — over your marriage. Being so checked out from the marriage is among the glaring signs your husband misses his affair partner.
There is no easy way to come to terms with the fact that perhaps your husband was considering leaving marriage for affair partner and has stayed back only because he felt compelled to or deal with the signs your husband misses his affair partner.
However, Dr. Bhonsle says, “Remember, you always have a choice. The choice available to you may not be pleasant, comfortable, or what you had hoped for, which is why exploring it can seem daunting. But it’s always there.” With that in mind, let’s explore what you can do if you discover that your husband still has feelings for his affair partner and misses her.
What To Do If Your Husband Still Has Feelings For Affair Partner
“I see the signs my husband wants another woman and I just don’t care,” said no woman ever. The realization that your husband is harboring feelings for the other woman and misses having her in his life can be just as traumatic as the discovery of the affair, if not more. So, how do you deal with this and find a way forward?
Allow yourself to experience whatever feelings, emotions, and thoughts this realization brings up, and find a way to express them. Remember, it’s okay to be angry, hurt, or in pain.
Only once you’ve worked through the emotional turmoil brought on by your husband’s emotional investment in his affair partner can you begin to look for a way forward. For this, Dhriti offers the following tips:
Have a conversation with your husband: This might just be one of the hardest things you’ll ever have to do, but there is no alternative to a direct conversation once you see the signs your husband misses his affair partner. Tell them that you’ve noticed that he still pines for her and discuss what it means for the future of your marriage
Remember it takes two to make a marriage work: Your husband’s response will tell you all you need to know about the fate of your marriage. You cannot keep a relationship afloat single-handedly, and if your husband shows no interest in making things work, you might just have to accept that it’s the end of the road to your marital journey. On the other hand, if he admits to missing his affair partner and says he needs time to work through his feelings and reconnect with you, there’s still hope
Consider couples therapy: Rebuilding a marriage in the aftermath of an affair can be a tall order, and often, people lack the wherewithal to navigate it on their own. If you see hope for reconciliation despite your husband’s lingering feelings for this affair partner, going into couples therapy may be your best bet for turning a corner. If you’re looking for expert help to navigate this turmoil, Bonobology’s counseling services are here for you·
Be kind to yourself: Along with hurt and anger, a partner’s infidelity inevitably brings feelings of shame, guilt, and inadequacy in its wake. As you watch your husband pine for his affair partner, you’re bound to go down the rabbit hole of, “Why am I not good enough for him?” In moments like these, you need to be kind to yourself and commit to taking care of yourself, emotionally as well as physically

FAQs
1. How long will it take my husband to get over his affair partner?
It’s hard to offer a specific timeline for how long it takes a man to get over his affair partner, as the answer to the question depends on a variety of factors such as the emotional connection he shared with his affair partner, the length and nature of the affair, the state of his relationship with his spouse, and his own personality and emotional baggage. However, in the case of long-term affairs, it can take anywhere up to a year to bounce back emotionally.
2. Does a man miss his affair partner?
If a man shared a deep connection with his affair partner, was emotionally attached to her and not just in it for physical needs, and felt supported, understood, and loved by her, he will miss his affair partner.
Britney Spears might spend the holidays back home in Louisiana?!
On Thursday, the 42-year-old’s mom Lynne Spears was spotted at LAX — making this the second time she’s flown into El Lay to see her daughter in just two weeks. A HUGE step up from how estranged they were before! Things really seemed to take a turn for the better at Brit Brit’s birthday party, as Perezcious readers know, when the 68-year-old reportedly apologized and reconciled with her. But will the pop star’s next step be an even bigger one?
It was previously dished by sources that the Oops… I Did It Again singer was planning on taking a weeklong trip down to her hometown Kentwood in order to spend some quality time with her fam — and now her momma seems pretty hopeful she’ll be heading home for Christmas to fulfill that!
As reported by TMZ, a photog caught up with Lynne in the airport, and when asked if things were going well, she said yes. And when the reporter asked if there was a chance Britney could go back home for the holidays, she replied:
“All things are always possible.”
Ooh! It would definitely be a big moment for the Spears family if the Everytime singer came home for Christmas. Especially her estranged dad Jamie, who recently had to get his leg amputated due to an infection.
Another interesting thing to note about this interview was how Momma Spears seemed to LOVE her daughter’s manager Cade Hudson — but when asked if she missed Sam Asghari, she said “not really”. Oof!
Do U think Britney will be jingling all the way home for the holidaze, Perezcious readers? Sound OFF (below).
Customers today expect a seamless omni-channel shopping experience with directly integrated payment options. Recently technical progress and the tokenisation of retail payment transactions have enabled omni-channel use cases. In this article we explain how omni-channel payments work in practice and how merchants and corporates are able to benefit from this modern payment solution.
Automatic Tokenisation and Omni-Channel Payments
Modern payments solutions tokenise all transactions to reuse the processed information in future transactions, whether through the same sales channel or others.
Tokenisation describes the encrypting process by which unique identifier replacement numbers are assigned to transactions. If a payment system recognises a token, it decrypts it using the right decryption key to process the data.
Use case 1: A customer buys a product (or service) in a store and pays by card. The payments system tokenizes the transaction based on the transaction reference number. If the customer is not satisfied with the product, returns it a few days later and wants a refund, the merchant or corporate can simply trigger the refund payment to the customer at the push of a button after entering the token. The payments system recognizes the encrypted token and the underlying transaction data.
Use Case 2, click & reserve: A customer selects a product online, triggering a reservation. The customer is satisfied with the look and feel of the product and pays for it in-store. The payment system recognises the underlying transaction data assigned to the token created during the online selection and uses it automatically to process the payment.
Other relevant omni-channel use cases for merchants and corporates include ‘queue busting’, click & collect’, ‘buy instore & pay at home’, ‘instore e-commerce’ and ‘endless aisle’.
As omni-channel use cases rise, corporates and merchants are bound to implement them. Retail payments today are customer-centric and require a modern payments solution.
Due to the seamlessly integrated payment functions within the different distribution/sales channels, retailers and corporates hardly miss out on any sales as their customers have the freedom to shop across channels and to choose how to pay. Additionally, purchase cancellations and time-consuming manual refunds can be avoided.
Automation of accounting and reconciliation to reduce manual processes
Modern retail payments solutions enable merchants and corporates to further automate accounting and reconciliation. This has the following benefits for merchants and corporates:
reduced manual effort
reduced sources of error
cost savings
more time for fundamental business activities.
If modern retail payments solutions are used, all transactions are automatically tokenised. This ensures that omni-channel transactions are consistently correctly flagged and recognised at all times in the reconciliation process and booked directly in the accounting system if they match.
This means significantly less manual search and correction effort for the parties involved, resulting in direct cost savings. Today, some payment providers and acquirers include automated reconciliation solutions to integrate added value.
From simple terminal to future-proof multitalented smart POS device
‘All in one’ or ‘one device strategy’ are increasingly important for merchants with physical points of sale (POS).
Simple terminals to accept cashless payments are being replaced by a new generation of android-based smart devices. These devices enable value added services and deliver an enriched in-store customer experience.
Using modern smart POS devices to accept cashless payments in stores offers the following advantages for merchants and corporates:
real-time software updates through cloud integration. The days when a terminal had to be returned to the payments provider for a software update are over. Thanks to integration, payment providers are always able to automatically provide merchants with the latest terminal software. New features can continuously be added and the internationally valid PCI DSS security certification covers all the security aspects of smart POS devices.
manage Smart POS devices yourself.
Thanks to the Android-based operating system, merchants can manage their smart POS devices themselves and activate and/or change new payment methods, FX currency conversion and other functions, and much more.
use additional applications on the smart POS device, simply.
Additional connectivity to applications such as the POS system for cashing, the warehouse system for querying inventories or the customer relationship management (CRM) system for viewing customer data can be conveniently activated on the smart POS device. This works via an app store, where the corresponding apps can be downloaded to the smart POS device and linked to the main system for use, turning the smart POS device into a mobile control centre and giving the merchant further flexibility.
new instore shopping experience.
Smart POS devices enable a wide range of new use cases, from self-service to close interaction with sellers, Web in-store, Gamification and others.
And now?
The entire retail payments infrastructure is being transformed, creating a multitude of new opportunities to offer cashless payment solutions in the future.
Merchants and corporates are advised to upgrade their payments infrastructure to benefit from optimised operations and reduced manual effort, resulting in overall cost reductions.
Due to the growth in retail payments, the cost structure for merchants has become more important than before. This is therefore the best time for merchants to consider the future Interchange++ cost structure of retail payments.
