The question on everyone's mind: Are Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck rekindling their romance? The buzz started when the pair made a surprise appearance together at the New York City premiere of "Kiss of the Spider Woman" on October 6, 2025. The film stars Lopez, with Affleck serving as an executive producer alongside Matt Damon through their production company, Artists Equity. This sparked speculation about a potential reconciliation, especially since their divorce was finalized earlier in 2024.
However, multiple sources have dismissed the rumors of a romantic reunion. An insider speaking to People Magazine clarified that Lopez is doing well and focusing on family and work. The source emphasized that while she enjoys working with Affleck, "there's no romantic reunion with Ben".
Another source echoed this sentiment, stating that the two are in "a really good place" and continue to support each other. They are reportedly proud of what they have accomplished together. Sources speaking with Us Weekly also confirmed that they are not getting back together but are in a great place where they "are able to communicate better and have a friendship".
Affleck's attendance at the premiere was attributed to his role as a producer on the project. One insider noted, "There is nothing going on between them. He went because he's a producer". Despite this, both have publicly praised each other's work. Affleck lauded Lopez's performance in "Kiss of the Spider Woman".
Lopez and Affleck's history is well-documented. They initially met in 2002 and began dating, becoming engaged before calling it off in 2004. Both went on to marry other people and start families. Lopez was married to Marc Anthony from 2004 to 2014, and they have twins, Max and Emme. Affleck was married to Jennifer Garner from 2005 to 2018, and they have three children: Violet, Seraphina, and Samuel.
The couple rekindled their romance in 2021 and married in Las Vegas in July 2022, followed by a larger ceremony in Georgia. However, they ultimately decided to divorce, with Lopez filing in August 2024, citing irreconcilable differences.
Despite the end of their marriage, Lopez and Affleck appear to have maintained a positive and supportive relationship. Their recent reunion at the premiere, while sparking rumors, seems to be more about mutual respect and professional collaboration than a rekindled romance.
