Los Angeles, Sep 13 (IANS): Hollywood star Ben Affleck pushed away a man who got too close to singer-actress Jennifer Lopez while trying to take a selfie.

The 49-year-old actor stepped up to block an unmasked man who was trying to take selfies with the 'Hustlers' star at Marco Polo International Airport in Venice, Italy, reports femalefirst.co.uk.

Lopez was seen in photographs stepping back amid the chaos while Affleck moved him out of their path before their bodyguard approached closer.

The security guard grabbed the fan's wrists and pushed him further away from the couple before the pair held hands and continued to make their way through the airport, avoiding eye contact with other onlookers.

Meanwhile, it was recently claimed the couple are planning to temporarily move to Texas together as Affleck is due to film his new thriller 'Hypnotic' in Austin and they don't want to be apart for too long.

Lopez won't be in Texas for the full duration of Affleck's filming as she has her own work commitments that require her to be in Los Angeles, California.

The couple were first dating from 2002 and got engaged in November of that year, but they split in 2004. They moved on with different individuals but after several failed relationships, they rekindled their romance in April.
