J.Lo & Ben Affleck: Red Carpet Reunion Sparks Love Rumors Again!

Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck left their fans buzzing after they reunited on the red carpet for the first time since their divorce on Monday night for the premiere of Kiss Of The Spider Woman in New York City

JENNIFER LOPEZ AND BEN AFFLECK REUNITE ON RED CARPET, FUELING RUMORS OF A THIRD CHANCE

The drama never ends for Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck! The power couple reunited on the red carpet last night in New York City, leaving their fans buzzing with excitement and speculation. The two were spotted posing together at the premiere of Kiss Of The Spider Woman, a musical film that stars Lopez and is produced by Affleck's company, Artists Equity.

But what caught everyone's attention was not just their presence on the red carpet, but the way they interacted with each other. Lopez, 56, looked stunning in a dramatic Harris Reed gown, while Affleck, 53, wore a navy suit that accentuated his dashing good looks. As they posed for photos together, it was clear that the two were on their best behavior, smiling and laughing like they used to when they first started dating.

Fans on social media were shocked by the warm display, which was a striking contrast with the colder appearances the two made during their marriage and in midst of their split; pictured in February 2024 in Hollywood

The reunion has left many wondering if the two are back on again. After all, they did seem to have a lot of chemistry going on last night! "3rd time's a charm...come on!" joked one fan on social media. Another commenter wrote: "These two are perfect for each other." But while some fans were rooting for them to get back together, others were skeptical.

"I'm not buying it," said one critic. "They're just putting on a show because the film needs publicity." And indeed, the movie has been getting minimal press attention lately, which might explain why Lopez and Affleck are suddenly making headlines again.

But despite all the speculation, there's no denying that the two have remained close friends since their divorce was finalized in February 2025. In fact, just hours before the premiere, Lopez appeared on The Today Show and praised her ex-husband for his contribution to the film. "If it wasn't for Ben, this movie wouldn't have gotten made," she said, giving him credit for helping to finance the project.

When asked about their relationship status, Lopez diplomatically sidestepped the question. But a source close to the couple revealed that they've been in touch frequently and are still on good terms. "They've remained friends since the divorce and have even been seen together at various events," said the insider.

But what's clear is that Lopez has moved on from their marriage, which she filed for in August 2024 after two years of marriage. In a recent interview with CBS News Sunday Morning, she revealed that she was thrilled to be single again and had "had so much fun" since the split. She even credited her divorce as being one of the best things that ever happened to her!

"I'm a different person now than I was a year and a half ago," she said. "I've grown and learned so much about myself." And it seems like Lopez is embracing her newfound freedom, judging by all the fabulous outfits she wore while promoting Kiss Of The Spider Woman.

She looked stunning in three different looks throughout the day: a brown leather jacket with loose gray slacks and a white button-up; a mint top paired with a green pencil skirt and wide-brim hat; and finally, a sizzling yellow jacket and matching skirt. "I'm loving being able to express myself without any boundaries," she gushed in an interview.

But what's also clear is that Lopez still has a soft spot for her ex-husband. When asked about their collaboration on the film, she said: "Ben was instrumental in helping me bring this project to life." She even credited him with being one of the reasons why the movie came together in the first place.

And as for Ben Affleck? He's also seemed to have moved on from their marriage and is now focusing on his work. In a recent interview, he revealed that he's been using his platform to support artists and creatives, particularly through his production company. "I'm passionate about helping people tell their stories," he said.

So while the reunion on the red carpet was certainly attention-grabbing, it's clear that both Lopez and Affleck have moved on from their marriage and are focusing on their individual pursuits. But as one fan so aptly put it: "You can never go wrong with a little bit of Ben and Jen magic!"
