The recent developments in the relationship between Ben Affleck and Jennifer Lopez have taken an unexpected turn, as they were spotted kissing and holding hands during a hotel meeting, despite currently being in the midst of a divorce.
The couple’s split has been anticipated for most of 2024, particularly after the 55-year-old actor filed for divorce, citing their separation since April, during which they celebrated their birthdays and wedding anniversary separately.
However, new reports indicate a potential reconciliation after they were seen showing affection towards each other while co-parenting their kids in Los Angeles on Saturday, September 14.
As reported by PageSix.com, an insider revealed that the couple was observed “holding hands and kissing” at the Polo Lounge in the Beverly Hills Hotel, while their children sat at a different table.
Shortly after, Jennifer Garner, the mother of Affleck’s children, arrived to pick them up, while Affleck and Lopez left the venue together, leaving fans puzzled about the true status of their relationship.
Did Jennifer Lopez arrange the meetup?
There are indications that Lopez may have initiated the meeting to explore a possible reconciliation with Affleck after filing for divorce and his decision to retreat to a private residence away from the spotlight.
This speculation arose following her deep conversation with Matt Damon, Affleck’s close friend, at the Toronto International Film Festival, even though reports allege that Damon was not particularly open to discussing Affleck during that moment.
An insider informed DailyMail.com, “Matt Damon deflected any discussion JLo wanted to have about Ben at the premiere,” emphasizing how poorly timed her approach was. “She likely realized that having a private conversation with Matt at the event would attract attention.”
