Jennifer and Ben reunite for sweet outing
On Monday, Affleck and Lopez had a surprise reunion at the Kiss of the Spider Woman premiere in New York. Affleck is executive producer of the film. Affleck and Matt Damon’s Artist Equity production company co-produced the movie.
The outing comes nine months after the former couple settled their divorce. They were seen sharing smiles and chatting with each other at the red carpet.
Lopez, 56, and Affleck, 53, were pictured having an intimate chat together. The duo smiled as they looked into each other’s eyes at the event. The former couple also posed for photos at the screening, surprising many on the red carpet.
It marked the first red carpet appearance for the high-profile exes since their divorce was finalized earlier in January, after two years of marriage.
Lopez stunned in a dramatic gown with an exaggerated corset that highlighted her curves. Meanwhile, Affleck looked dapper in a navy suit with a white button-up underneath, as he posed for photos on the red carpet, with his arm wrapped around his former wife.
The appearance sparked reconciliation rumours among some fans, with one posting a GIF of a stressed out Tiffany Pollard rubbing the temples of her head and writing on X, “Lord…they’re gonna start this all over again.”
Another said: “They are going home together.” While on the red carpet the duo also posed with Lopez’s co-star Tonatiuh. They were also joined by director Bill Condon.
At the screening, Affleck praised Lopez, saying, “It’s an honor to be here. This movie is exquisite. Jennifer, you’re incredible. Bill, you did an amazing job. [Tonatiuh], you’re phenomenal. Welcome to a lifelong stardom. Enjoy it. There’s ups and downs, but here you are. It’s really, truly a thrill and honour, and I’m just proud of this movie. Thank you for letting me be part of it.”

Two years later, Jennifer filed for divorce, citing April 26 as their official date of separation.

Speaking to Interview Magazine, she shared, “It almost took me out for good,” admitting the tough year she had after the divorce. She added, “But now, on the other side of it, I think, ‘That’s exactly what I needed.’”
Ben and his 53-year-old ex-wife Jennifer Garner have three children together: Violet, 19, Fin, 16, and Samuel, 13. Moreover, Lopez and her ex-husband Marc Anthony, 57, have fraternal twins, Emme and Max, 17.
