Ben Affleck and Jennifer Lopez shared the spotlight once again, this time on the red carpet in New York City.
The former couple reunited Monday night for the premiere of Kiss of the Spider Woman, marking their first public appearance together since finalizing their divorce in 2024.
Lopez stars in the musical film, while Affleck serves as an executive producer through Artist Equity, the production company he co-founded with Matt Damon.
Despite their split, the pair appeared cordial and professional at the event, posing side by side for photographers. At one point, Affleck wrapped an arm around Lopez’s waist as they smiled for the cameras.
The reunion sparked buzz among fans who dubbed it a brief “Bennifer reunion,” though sources emphasized the appearance was purely business.
Both stars have remained publicly supportive of each other’s careers despite their separation.
Lopez has previously said Kiss of the Spider Woman was a deeply personal project that helped her through “one of the hardest times” of her life.
“It’s about escapism,” she said earlier this year, describing how the story’s themes of transformation and self-discovery resonated with her.
The New York premiere marks a key moment for both stars, Lopez returning to the spotlight with one of her most ambitious musical roles yet, and Affleck continuing his producing success with Artist Equity.
