'Holding Hands and Kissing': Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck Photographed Together After Divorce Announcement

Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck were spotted together for the first time since their divorce was announced. The celebrities were snapped by paparazzi as they headed to brunch at the Polo Lounge at the Beverly Hills Hotel with their children — Ben's 15-year-old daughter Seraphina, his 12-year-old son Samuel, and Jennifer's 16-year-old twins Emma and Max.

At the same time, a witness to their meeting told Page Six that the children of the stars sat at a separate table during the brunch, and 55-year-old Jennifer and 52-year-old Ben not only talked, but also “held hands and kissed.” It is worth noting that Lopez was wearing her engagement ring. However, in some photos taken by reporters, the celebrities are emotionally arguing about something, first near the hotel, and then in the car.

Now fans of Lopez and Affleck are wondering if it's really over between the celebrities. Let's recall that Jennifer filed for divorce from Ben at the end of August. The stars have a very interesting relationship history: they were engaged in 2002, but broke off the engagement - allegedly due to close media attention. Almost 20 years later, they resumed their relationship and got married in 2022. At first, their family life seemed happy, but later netizens began to notice that Ben often looked sullen next to his wife, the paparazzi often photographed the spouses during quarrels. Recently, everyone was sure that the couple would soon announce a divorce: and so it happened.

Lopez recently made a splash online when she attended the premiere of a film produced by Ben Affleck in an outfit dubbed the "revenge dress."
