AceShowbiz - Amidst his ongoing divorce from Jennifer Lopez, Ben Affleck was seen lunching with Matt Damon's wife, Luciana Barroso, in Beverly Hills on Friday. Affleck, 52, and Barroso departed in the same vehicle after their lunch, heading to their next destination.
This encounter comes several months after Lopez filed for divorce from Affleck in August, on their second wedding anniversary.
Affleck and Barroso have previously spent time together following Affleck's split from Lopez. In September, Affleck was photographed kissing Barroso on the forehead outside his Los Angeles office. In August, the pair joined Damon for dinner.
According to a source, Damon has been supporting Affleck through his divorce from Lopez. Affleck reportedly expressed vulnerability and regret, admitting his envy of Damon's happy marriage and children.
While Affleck has been busy with work and spent Thanksgiving with his ex-wife Jennifer Garner and their children, he has reportedly expressed "no interest" in dating at the moment.
Meanwhile, Lopez is also moving on since filing for divorce. She was seen holiday shopping on Rodeo Drive and visited Affleck's Los Angeles office during their separation. A source close to Lopez indicates that she is focused on herself and her future, hoping to leave the past behind in 2025.
Despite their divorce, Affleck and Garner remain close co-parents. They were seen volunteering together for Midnight Mission and spent time at Garner's home for Thanksgiving.
Lopez, who has been house-hunting for herself and her children, is not actively seeking a new relationship and is putting herself first after the end of her marriage to Affleck.
