Jennifer Lopez, Ben Affleck photographed together for 1st time since divorce filing
Published in Entertainment News
Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck were spotted together in Los Angeles for the first time since the “Atlas” star filed for divorce late last month.
Lopez, 55, and Affleck, 52, were seen walking into the Beverly Hills Hotel on Saturday afternoon accompanied by four of their children: 15-year-old Seraphina and 12-year-old Samuel, Afflecks’ youngest children with actress Jennifer Garner; and Lopez’s 16-year-old twins, Max and Emme, whom she shares with singer Marc Anthony.
The estranged couple — who were previously engaged in the early 2000s before getting married in July 2022 — were photographed arriving at the famed hotel in the same car, with the “Argo” actor behind the wheel.
The outing of the Bronx-born singer and actress, who had on a black crop top and high-waist jeans, and the Oscar-winning filmmaker, wearing faded blue jeans and a blue button-down shirt, was described by TMZ as an “apparent tense lunch.”
Speculation on a Bennifer split gained traction earlier this year after Affleck moved out of their marital home in Beverly Hills and the duo — who reportedly didn’t sign a prenup agreement — put their $68-million mansion on the market.
In July, Lopez finalized the sale of her New York City penthouse, while Affleck closed escrow on his new Los Angeles home.
Earlier this week, Lopez reportedly bid on a 30,000-square-foot home in Holmby Hills.
The two haven’t been spotted together since mid-August.
Last week, a film co-produced by Affleck and starring Lopez, “Unstoppable,” earned a standing ovation at the prestigious Toronto International Film Festival.
A radiant Lopez posed for photos on the red carpet alongside Affleck’s longtime friend and producing partner Matt Damon, and actors Jharre Jerome, Bobby Cannavale and Don Cheadle. Affleck was noticeably absent.
