Jennifer Lopez and her estranged husband Ben Affleck were spotted having lunch together at Soho House in West Hollywood on Sunday, months after Lopez filed for divorce in August. According to the Daily Mail, the former couple exchanged Christmas gifts during the private gathering, signaling a cordial relationship despite their split.
The On The Floor singer, 55, opted for a casual look, wearing an oversized cardigan and wide-leg blue jeans for the outing. Affleck, 52, was also photographed later in the day picking up his child, Finn, from his ex-wife Jennifer Garner’s home. He donned a simple sky-blue shirt paired with dark pants and carried a black coat.
Lopez and Affleck’s relationship dates back to 2002 when they began dating after filming Gigli together in 2001. The couple got engaged but ultimately split in 2004. They rekindled their romance in 2021, leading to their marriage later that year. However, their union lasted just two years, with Lopez filing for divorce in August 2024.
Despite the separation, the pair’s recent meeting suggests they remain on amicable terms. The lunch marks a rare public appearance together since the filing.
On the professional front, both stars continue to focus on their careers. Lopez is set to produce and star in Netflix’s upcoming romantic comedy Office Romance alongside Brett Goldstein. Meanwhile, Affleck is gearing up to reprise his role in the action sequel to The Accountant, which he will also produce.
The couple’s sighting has sparked speculation among fans about the nature of their relationship post-divorce, but neither Lopez nor Affleck has publicly commented on their reunion. For now, the two appear to be maintaining a respectful and friendly dynamic as they navigate their lives apart.
