TMZ was able to catch some flicks of the pair (seen above) as they vacationed in St Tropez while celebrating J. Lo’s 52nd birthday this past weekend. As many people noticed, the photos had a striking similarity to a specific scene from the “Jenny From The Block” music video where Ben bolding grabs a handful of Lopez’s infamous backside as they sunbathe on a yacht. Well, life imitated art with these two recently, even if they didn’t intend on making it happen that way.
