Ben Affleck was seen smiling during a family lunch with Jennifer Lopez, as the stars arrived with their children. This was the first sighting of them together since J.Lo filed for divorce in August 2024.
The 52-year-old actor and 55-year-old singer were photographed arriving in a black SUV to dine at the Beverly Hills Hotel in Los Angeles. The former couple was seen getting out of the car and walking side by side. Lopez wore a black long-sleeve turtleneck paired with high-waisted dark jeans, while Affleck sported a blue button-up shirt, light blue jeans, and black aviator sunglasses.
An exclusive source told Page Six: “Ben and J.Lo are currently at the Polo Lounge in the Beverly Hills Hotel, holding hands and kissing. The kids are with them, but at a separate table.”
To recall, Affleck and Lopez were first engaged in 2002 after meeting on the set of “Gigli.” Affleck proposed, and they were set to marry in 2004, but the wedding was called off at the last minute.
Twenty years later, Lopez and Affleck spontaneously married in Las Vegas, followed by an official wedding ceremony with guests in Georgia a month later. In August 2024, Lopez filed for divorce, stating that the couple had been living separately since April, citing “irreconcilable differences.”
The singer officially requested to change her name from “Jennifer Lynn Affleck” back to “Jennifer Lynn Lopez” after taking the actor’s surname.
