Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck exchange a seemingly uncomfortable air kiss.
Weeks of speculation have surrounded the relationship between Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck. Lately, J.Lo evenpostponed her concert tour because of family issues. Now, the couple has seemingly reunited after going their separate ways - but it wasn't a close encounter.
Recent talks of a marital breakdown had the industry buzzing, and on a Sunday night, the two finally made a public appearance together for the first time since the tour was canceled. They attended a basketball match with Samuel, Affleck's son from a previous marriage to Jennifer Garner. This joint outing marked their reunion after J.Lo's tour got put on hold. The Daily Mail published these photos, but they did little to dampen the speculation about a possible split.
The tabloid reported that the two saw each other for the first time at the sports center. When reunited, they exchanged a hug, but it wasn't the typical kiss on the mouth. Instead, they pressed their cheeks together briefly, the Daily Mail joked, making it sound like an "embarrassing air kiss." Nonetheless, both stars appeared in high spirits.
It's also worth noting that "Bennifer," as fans affectionately call the pair, entered the stadium separately. Although they left together in the same car, they didn't hold hands. Jennifer Garner and Christine Boldt, Affleck's mother, were among the audience watching the game. The two women also departed at the same time in an individual vehicle.
Refusing to let the split rumors die
Their brief outing was intended to dispel the mounting news of a possible separation. The rumors had been circulating for months, with J.Lo attending a Met Gala solo and Affleck making a lone appearance on a red carpet. The married couple is speculated to have been living apart since 2022, possibly due to work commitments for Affleck.
At the end of May, J.Lo's tour was postponed. In a heartfelt statement on her website, she wrote, "I am deeply saddened and completely devastated because I have let you down." Live Nation, the tour organizer, confirmed, "Jennifer is taking a break to be with her children, her family, and her close friends." Some interpreted the tour cancelation as a sign of a marital struggle.[^1^]
