Голлівудська експодружня пара з'явилася разом на публіці, щоб презентувати спільний проєкт, і змусила говорити про те, чи справді їхня історія вже закінчена.
When it comes to Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck, it seems you can never call it quits. Their romantic story is a real roller coaster: from a tumultuous affair in the early 2000s and a canceled engagement to a high-profile reunion twenty years later, marriage, and, finally, an official divorce in 2024. We thought the passions had subsided, but the former lovers have surprised the public again!
The actors, whose split became one of the most discussed topics this year, unexpectedly appeared together in public. And it wasn’t just a chance encounter; it was a joint appearance on the red carpet in New York, which caused photographers and journalists to frantically click their camera buttons. As it turned out, these celebrities have a compelling reason for such a friendly reunion.
The Premiere That Reunited Them: “Kiss of the Spider Woman”
This unexpected outing took place on October 6th during the preview screening of the musical «Kiss of the Spider Woman» * (Kiss of the Spider Woman)*. As it turned out, the ex-spouses were brought together by work: Jennifer Lopez played one of the leading roles in the musical, and Ben Affleck served as the executive producer of the film.
Naturally, such an event required the presence of both stars. According to the publication People, the former couple willingly posed for the cameras, chatted amiably, and smiled. Considering their recent divorce, their interaction looked remarkably warm and professional, which may indicate a lack of animosity between them.
The singer, who appeared with Affleck for the first time since their split, did not limit herself to just posing. Before the screening began, J.Lo addressed the press with a public statement that became the highlight of the evening.

She openly expressed gratitude to her ex-husband for his support in this project.
«Thank you very much to everyone who was here tonight. Thank you, Ben, this film would not have been made without Ben and without Artist Equity (production company — ed. note)»,
— the artist emphasized.
These words only confirm the importance of Affleck’s contribution to the creation of the musical and, at the same time, demonstrate that, despite personal disagreements, they can maintain a professional and friendly relationship.
The romantic saga of Ben Affleck and Jennifer Lopez began back in 2002. At that time, their couple, which the press dubbed “Bennifer,” was at the peak of popularity. They even got engaged, but at the last minute, in 2004, they canceled the wedding and ended the relationship.
Life separated them for a long 20 years, but in 2021, the world was shocked by the news of their reunion. In the summer of 2022, the lovers finally got married, proving that second chances really do exist.
However, their marital bliss turned out to be short-lived. In 2024, the artists announced their divorce, citing “irreconcilable differences.” Lopez recently openly confessed to reporters how this breakup affected her. This new public appearance, in turn, shows that even after divorce, when there are shared interests and mutual respect, the doors to communication can remain open.
