AceShowbiz - Ben Affleck and Jennifer Lopez, who filed for divorce in August, were seen together for the first time at the Beverly Hills Hotel on Saturday, September 14. The former couple engaged in a tense conversation.
The meeting took place in front of their children, including Affleck's kids with ex-wife Jennifer Garner and Lopez's twins with ex-husband Marc Anthony.
Despite reports of Affleck's distance from Lopez's children in recent months, the pair seemed determined to prioritize their blended family. Lopez has previously praised Affleck's parenting skills, and sources say family is important to both of them.
For their reunion, Affleck wore a blue shirt and jeans while Lopez opted for a black cropped turtleneck and flared jeans. The outing came days after Lopez was seen at her estranged husband's favorite fast food spot in Los Angeles.
Lopez and Affleck had originally met on the set of "Gigli" in 2001 and briefly dated before splitting in 2004. They rekindled their romance in 2021 and married in a Las Vegas ceremony in July 2022, followed by a grander celebration in Georgia.
Their divorce proceedings are ongoing, with Lopez citing April 26, 2024, as the date of separation. The couple's $68 million marital home in Beverly Hills is currently on the market as they navigate their split.
Adding to the complexity, Affleck has been linked with Robert F. Kennedy, Jr.'s daughter, Kick Kennedy, though his representative has denied any romance.
