Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck were were seen together in Los Angeles for the first time since the “Atlas” star filed for divorce end of last month.
Lopez, 55, and Affleck, 52, were seen entering the Beverly Hills Hotel on Saturday afternoon with four of their children: 15-year-old Seraphina and 12-year-old Samuel, Affleck’s youngest child with actress Jennifer Garner; and Lopez’s 16-year-old twins, Max and Emme, whom she shares with singer Marc Anthony.
The estranged couple – who were previously engaged in the early 2000s before tying the knot in July 2022 – were photographed arriving at the famous hotel in the same car, with the ‘Argo’ actor behind the wheel.
The outing for the Bronx-born singer and actress, who was dressed in a black crop top and high-waisted jeans, and the Oscar-winning filmmaker, who wore faded jeans and a blue button-down shirt, was described by TMZ as a “apparently tense lunch.”
Speculation of a split from Bennifer gained momentum earlier this year after Affleck moved out of his marital home in Beverly Hills and the duo — who reportedly did not sign a prenuptial agreement — put their $68 million mansion on the market.
In July, Lopez finalized the sale of her New York City penthouse, while Affleck closed escrow on their new home in Los Angeles.
Earlier this week, Lopez reportedly bidding on a 30,000 square foot home in Holmby Hills.
The two have not been seen together since mid-August.
Last week, a film co-produced by Affleck and starring Lopez, “Unstoppable,” received a standing ovation at the prestigious Toronto International Film Festival.
A beaming Lopez posed for photos on the red carpet alongside Affleck’s longtime friend and producing partner Matt Damon, and actors Jharre Jerome, Bobby Cannavale and Don Cheadle. Affleck was noticeably absent.
