Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck were recently photographed together with their children, marking their first joint appearance since Lopez filed for divorce. The couple arrived at The Beverly Hills Hotel in Los Angeles for lunch, where they were seen talking to each other casually. Lopez was reportedly wearing her engagement ring from Affleck on her pinky finger during the outing. The Instagram account DeuxMoi shared photos of their family outing, showing them entering the hotel together.
Lopez filed for divorce from Affleck on August 20, which coincidentally was the second anniversary of their Georgia wedding ceremony. After the divorce filing, there were reports suggesting Affleck was dating Robert F. Kennedy Jr.’s daughter, Kathleen “Kick” Kennedy. However, Affleck’s representative denied these reports, stating that there was no truth to them and that Ben was not dating anyone. Despite this, there were still speculations about their relationship status.
While promoting her new movie “Unstoppable” at the Toronto International Film Festival, Lopez was overheard seemingly calling herself “a bad picker.” This came after rumors regarding the status of her marriage to Affleck started circulating earlier in the year. Their last red carpet appearance as a couple was in February, during which they were promoting Lopez’s project “This Is Me…Now: A Love Story.” The couple first met on the set of “Gigli” in 2002, got engaged later that year, and officially split in 2004.
In 2021, it was rumored that Affleck had reconnected with Lopez following her split from Alex Rodriguez. They made their first red carpet appearance since reuniting in September of that year while promoting “The Last Duel” at the Venice International Film Festival. Affleck proposed to Lopez for a second time in April 2022, presenting her with a stunning green diamond ring. They eloped to Las Vegas in July of that year and held another wedding ceremony at Affleck’s property in Georgia the following month.
The couple’s relationship has had its ups and downs over the years, with their recent joint appearance sparking renewed interest in their status. Fans of the couple have been eagerly following their journey, from their initial engagement in 2002 to their reunification in recent years. Despite their past challenges, Lopez and Affleck seem to be navigating their relationship on their own terms, with reports and rumors surrounding them adding to the intrigue of their love story.
As the public continues to speculate about their relationship, Lopez and Affleck have kept much of their personal lives private. While they have not publicly addressed their plans for the future, their recent joint appearances suggest that they are spending time together as a family. Whether they will eventually reconcile or continue their separate paths remains to be seen, but for now, fans are eagerly awaiting any updates on the couple’s evolving relationship.
