Ben Affleck and Jennifer Lopez drew attention for their loving interaction during a family brunch at the Beverly Hills Hotel. The couple was seen at the Polo Lounge, accompanied by their children from previous relationships.
A source told Page Six that Affleck appeared very affectionate towards Lopez during the meetup, which was meant to highlight their friendly rapport despite their ongoing divorce proceedings.
A Connection Revisited
Affleck reportedly chose this well-known venue to demonstrate a friendly relationship to onlookers. However, as they dined, their interaction grew more intimate, with moments of hand-holding and kissing observed.
Sources claim that while Affleck intended for a cordial photo opportunity, their undeniable chemistry was apparent.
“It was Ben Affleck‘s idea to gather there,” explained the insider.
“He aimed to showcase them as amicable ex-partners.”
“He was looking for those photos. It’s a place designed for visibility – paparazzi typically frequent it.”
“There has always been intense chemistry between them. That spontaneity wasn’t on the agenda. They still feel attracted to each other.”
“Once they were in each other’s company, he couldn’t resist.”
Their children – Affleck‘s Seraphina and Samuel, along with Lopez‘s twins, Max and Emme – were at a different table during the meal. Later, the couple was seen engaged in a serious discussion in a car outside the hotel.
Despite their display of affection, insiders clarify that this meeting does not suggest a potential reconciliation. As reported by People, Lopez is committed to fostering a friendly relationship with Affleck while continuing the divorce process.
Lopez filed for divorce last month, citing irreconcilable differences, indicating her intent with this decision.
