Get ready for a juicy update on the dynamic duo, Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck! A year after their divorce, these exes are back in the spotlight, and this time, they're getting cozy!
On Monday, the former couple made a surprise appearance at the New York premiere of their new movie, Kiss of the Spider Woman. With Lopez, 56, and Affleck, 53, looking absolutely stunning and dapper, respectively, they stole the show on the red carpet. But here's where it gets controversial... they were seen having an intimate chat, just over a year since Lopez filed for divorce.
The actress and her ex-husband smiled and shared a moment, with Lopez looking gorgeous in a dramatic Harris Reed gown that accentuated her iconic curves. Meanwhile, Affleck looked sharp in a navy suit, posing with his arm around his ex-wife.
Lopez, the star of the musical film, and Affleck, an executive producer through his company Artists Equity, were all smiles. They even posed with Lopez's co-star Tonatiuh and director Bill Condon. Other celebrities in attendance included Laverne Cox, Whoopi Goldberg, and Spike Lee, who brought his daughter Satchel.
In Kiss of the Spider Woman, Lopez plays the imaginative Aurora, dreamed up by a jailed gay hairdresser named Luis Molina. The film is set to release on October 10, and just hours before the premiere, Lopez had an interesting response to a question about her ex-husband on The Today Show.
When asked about her divorce being finalized during the filming of the musical, Lopez cut the host off and said, 'There you go! Look at this guy!' with a laugh. She then took the opportunity to praise Affleck, stating, 'If it wasn't for Ben, the movie wouldn't have gotten made. And I will always give him that credit.'
But here's the part most people miss... Lopez has had a rollercoaster of emotions since their split. While she admitted that their divorce was the 'best thing that ever happened' to her, she also revealed having a 'tough time' in the aftermath. She spoke about working on the film with her ex as an executive producer, describing it as both the 'best and worst of times.'
Lopez confessed, 'It was a really tough time... Every moment on set, I was so happy, and then back home, it was not great.' But she powered through, and the film helped her focus and grow.
So, what do you think? Is this a sign of a potential reconciliation, or just a friendly exes' reunion? Let us know your thoughts in the comments! We'd love to hear your take on this intriguing situation.
