Ben Affleck and Jennifer Lopez spotted at same location in Los Angeles after JLo’s solo trip
Ben Affleck and Jennifer Lopez were recently seen arriving separately at the same location in Los Angeles, following Lopez's solo trip to Europe. On Wednesday, June 26, the pair were photographed a few hours apart in West Hollywood, entering a building where Affleck's production company, Artists Equity, is located. According to TMZ, Affleck, 51, arrived around 10 a.m. wearing a suit and carrying a duffel bag. Lopez, 54, was seen leaving the office a few hours later.
The reason for their visit to the building remains unclear, though Lopez is set to star in two upcoming films from Artists Equity, "Unstoppable" and "Kiss of the Spider Woman," which Affleck co-founded with Matt Damon.
This sighting marks the first time Lopez has been seen near Affleck since her return from a vacation in Europe, which included stops in Italy and France. During her trip, Lopez attended a Christian Dior fashion show in Paris on June 25. An insider told PEOPLE that Lopez "was relaxed" and "laughed with her friends," describing her as "very kind" and "a very radiant and elegant lady."
Lopez's summer plans involve spending time with her children, family, and close friends, according to a May 31 announcement by Live Nation, which came after the singer canceled her concert tour. Sources have noted strain in her marriage to Affleck.
Affleck and Lopez rekindled their romance in 2021 after an initial split in 2004. They married in a small Las Vegas ceremony in July 2022, followed by a larger celebration in Savannah, Georgia, the next month. However, their relationship seemed troubled earlier this year, as they hadn't been seen together for over a month. In May, sources told PEOPLE that their marriage "is not in the best place at the moment" and that they were living separately, with Affleck residing in a rental home.
Despite the reported tension, both Affleck and Lopez have focused on family and work, including celebrating graduation milestones in their children's lives. Lopez shares twins Emme and Max, 16, with ex-husband Marc Anthony, while Affleck has three children with ex-wife Jennifer Garner: Violet, 18, Seraphina, 15, and Samuel, 12.
