Ben Affleck and Jennifer Lopez were seen together for the first time since filing for a divorce, engaging in what appeared to be a tense conversation at the Beverly Hills Hotel on Saturday.
The 53-year-old Batman actor leaned in closely to speak to the Maid in Manhattan star, 55, while gesturing with his arms.
Later, as they sat in their car, Jennifer seemed to wipe away tears.
The exchange took place in front of Ben’s kids with ex-wife Jennifer Garner—Finn, 15, and Samuel, 12—and Jennifer’s 16-year-old twins, Emme and Max, with ex-husband Marc Anthony. Ben also shares Violet, 18, with Garner.
The meeting comes after Ben was spotted planting a kiss on BFF Matt Damon’s wife Luciana – days after Damon was seen holding Jennifer’s hand.
The actress exuded movie star glamour in a chic black cropped sweater and skintight flared denim as she walked alongside Ben at the famous hotel.
Her sandy blonde hair fell in loose waves, perfectly framing her flawless face, which was enhanced by a pair of vintage glasses.
Jennifer wore her engagement ring from Ben on her pinky finger, along with a gold ‘Jennifer’ band on her wedding finger.
Amid the separation rumors, Ben was occasionally seen without his wedding band, while Jennifer was sometimes spotted wearing hers, adding to the speculation.
Ben, meanwhile, kept it casual in a blue shirt and matching denim, completing his look with his signature Nike high-tops.
The reunion also comes after Jen made a stop at her estranged husband’s favorite fast food spot in Los Angeles on Monday.
The superstar appeared ready to indulge in a cheat meal as she was seen in the drive-thru of a local Jack in the Box.
Although Jennifer and Ben officially split last month, her fast-food outing seemed inspired by Ben’s recent string of food deliveries to his new bachelor pad.
Fast food had been a staple in JLo and Ben’s relationship, with the couple famously visiting McDonald’s three days in a row during their second attempt at romance last year.
And the Batman actor’s connection to Jack in the Box runs deep.
In August 2018, he made headlines when his ex-wife, Jennifer Garner, drove him through the fast food chain’s drive-thru before taking him to rehab for the third time.
Will Affleck and J-Lol’s reunions lead to a reconciliation or more tension?
The Jenny from the Block singer and the Bourne Identity actor appeared deep in conversation, with their heads close together in what was described as a serious, 20-minute exchange.
Reports suggest that Lopez was eager to discuss her estranged husband with Damon in the aftermath of their split, but sources claim the actor wasn’t interested in the topic.
‘Matt Damon shut down any attempt that JLo made to discuss Ben at the premiere,’ an insider told DailyMail.com exclusively.
‘It was her timing that was so awkward because she would have known that pulling Matt aside at the event to have an intimate talk was going to get picked up and go viral.’
