The former couple reunite for Christmas lunch and gift exchange while navigating divorce.

Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck continue to maintain a cordial relationship despite their ongoing divorce. The singer, 55, and actor, 52, were spotted together on Sunday at Soho House in West Hollywood, California, where they exchanged Christmas gifts and had lunch. The meeting lasted around 30 minutes.

Lopez, accompanied by her 16-year-old twins, Emme and Max, reportedly spent the day with her family at the exclusive venue. Affleck was seen arriving with wrapped presents for the occasion. Their brief but meaningful encounter is part of their effort to “stay connected” for their children, according to a source. “Ben and Jennifer are still connected and do communicate when it involves their kids,” the insider shared recently.

Later that day, Lopez took her twins shopping in Beverly Hills, visiting stores like Ralph Lauren and an antique consignment shop before dining at Cantina Frida. Affleck, meanwhile, was seen elsewhere in Los Angeles picking up his son, Fin, from Jennifer Garner’s home.

The former couple, who filed for divorce earlier this year, marked their separation date as April 26, 2024. Despite their split, they’ve prioritized family unity, attending school events together, including a recent play starring their children.
