Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck Reunite on ‘Kiss of the Spider Woman’ Red Carpet

Their appearance signaled professional support for a film Affleck’s Artists Equity helped finance.

Overview

  • The exes posed together at the Oct. 6 New York premiere, marking their first public appearance together since finalizing their divorce earlier this year.
  • Affleck praised Lopez during remarks inside the theater, saying, “Jennifer, you’re incredible,” while Lopez told attendees the movie “wouldn’t have been made without Ben and without Artists Equity.”
  • Multiple outlets, citing unnamed insiders, reported the reunion does not indicate a romantic reconciliation and described their relationship as a friendly, better-communicating dynamic.
  • Affleck serves as an executive producer through Artists Equity, his company with Matt Damon, and said the project reflects their aim to back artist-driven risks.
  • Kiss of the Spider Woman, directed by Bill Condon and co-starring Diego Luna and Tonatiuh, is set to open in U.S. theaters on Oct. 10.
