Divorced couple Ben Affleck and Jennifer Lopez just had a surprise reunion!

The two showed up on the red carpet of upcoming musical Kiss of the Spider Woman, which Lopez stars in. Affleck, meanwhile, served as its executive producer.

The former pair was seen posing together for photos and even sharing some cozy moments from time to time at the event held in New York.

They started dating in 2002, but two years later, they called off their engagement and started their own families with other partners. It wasn't until 2021 that they reignited their romance and married twice: first, in an intimate ceremony in Las Vegas, and then in a formal affair in Georgia in 2022.

Lopez filed for divorce from Affleck in August 2024, with irreconcilable differences as the reason for their split.

In January this year, Lopez and Affleck finalized their divorce after being married for two years.

Affleck opened up about his divorce from Lopez for the first time in March, stressing that he has "a lot of respect" for his ex.

"I guess there's a tendency to look at breakups and want to identify root causes or something. But honestly, like I said, the truth is much more quotidian than probably people would believe or would be interesting," Affleck said in an interview with GQ.

The actor also noted that there was "no scandal, no soap opera, no intrigue" with their breakup and that he won't dive further into it as it's "sort of embarrassing" and "feels vulnerable."

"It's just a story about people trying to figure out their lives and relationships in ways that we all sort of normally do," he continued.
