Despite their recent separation, Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck have been seen maintaining a friendly rapport. The duo was recently spotted meeting to exchange Christmas gifts.
As reported by Page Six, a source, who chose to remain anonymous, mentioned that Lopez and Affleck gathered at the upscale Soho House on Sunday for their gift exchange. Affleck had gifted Lopez a signed book about Marlon Brando, recognizing her admiration for the film icon and how it influenced her famous Super Bowl outfit.
Ben selected the book for Jennifer as a nod to her Brando admiration and the inspiration behind her Super Bowl outfit.
The exchanged gifts mainly included items for their children, though they also shared some small personal gifts.
It was a simple but heartfelt gesture meant to mark the holiday spirit. Ben and Jennifer continue to prioritize an amicable relationship throughout the divorce process.
Overview of Their Split
Lopez initiated divorce proceedings from Affleck after just two years of marriage, surprising many who had followed their rekindled romance.
The couple originally began dating in 2002 after meeting on the set of the film Gigli and got engaged shortly thereafter. However, they called off the engagement in 2004. They reunited nearly 20 years later, but this relationship was short-lived.
Even with divorce proceedings now underway, sources indicate that their bond remains strong. A report from Page Six has stated that Lopez and Affleck are committed to being part of each other’s lives and communicate about matters regarding their children.
This ongoing mutual regard has led many to believe that, despite the end of their marriage, their friendship and co-parenting arrangement stay robust.
