While Bennifer fans are elated by Ben Affleck and Jennifer Lopez's reunion, Matt Damon may be the biggest supporter of them all.

During an appearance on "The Carlos Watson Show," the host asked if he thought the couple was going to last.

"No one's pulling harder than I am," the actor responded. "They're both great."

"I just want for their happiness, and they seem pretty happy right now," he added.

Affleck and Lopez famously met on the set of "Gigli" in 2001 and he later appeared in the video for her signature hit, "Jenny from the Block." The couple was engaged for two years before breaking it off in 2004.
