Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck are parting ways as Lopez has initiated divorce proceedings, marking the end of their two-year union, which began with a surprise Las Vegas wedding in July 2022 and a formal ceremony the following month in Georgia.
This announcement came shortly before their first wedding anniversary.
As tensions rise between the separated couple, Page Six has shared images of Lopez with Matt Damon at the after-party for the premiere of their film Unstoppable, which Affleck chose not to attend.
The pair appeared to be enjoying a lighthearted conversation, sharing laughs and having an intimate exchange.
During the celebration, which took place at the EPOCH Bar & Kitchen Terrace at the Ritz-Carlton, Lopez and Damon reportedly spoke for over twenty minutes.
A source indicated that their dialogue was profound as they reconnected at the event showcasing Lopez’s involvement in the film produced by Damon and Affleck’s company, Artists Equity.
The Roots of Ben Affleck and Matt Damon’s Friendship
Ben Affleck and Matt Damon’s friendship has deep roots, starting in their childhood in Cambridge where their families lived next door to each other.
Affleck was 8 years old and Damon was 10; their mothers’ friendship led to them spending considerable time together, as they revealed in past interviews.
Though both aspired to be actors, their mothers encouraged them to choose different career paths. However, as teens, Damon attended Harvard University and began drafting the screenplay for Good Will Hunting, a project they would later develop together.
This collaboration ultimately paved their way into the film industry, winning them accolades such as an Oscar and a Golden Globe.
