The trip took place a few days after Britney made a shocking statement about having a relationship with Ben Affleck and forgetting about her date.

Under the photo, Britney confirmed that the kiss took place on the night the photo was taken.

“He’s such a great actor. I forgot to mention that I was on a date with Ben that night. I actually forgot how crazy it was!!! I wish I could tell you the story of what happened at that time!!!”, Britney captioned.

It’s unclear when the photo was taken, but Ben Affleck had an identical goatee in 1999. At that time, he was just 27 years old and Britney was 18 years old. The actor has not yet commented on this statement. Currently, the post has also been deleted.
