In that time we have seen Lopez stepping out to promote the film they had made together, (the now perhaps ironically entitled) Unstoppable, at Toronto Film Festival, dressed to kill in a Tamara Ralph gown slit entirely up each side, whilst Affleck was linked with Kick Kennedy, 36-year-old daughter of Robert Kennedy Jr (though rumours of a romance were quashed by the actor\u2019s rep).<\/p>\n By all accounts, Bennifer had not even been on speaking terms as their marriage limped to its finish line over the summer, with Lopez living on the East Coast of the US in the Hamptons, whilst Affleck solemnly went about his business in LA. That all changed on the morning of September 14th, though, when the pair was spotted together for the first time since June, arriving for brunch at the Beverly Hills Hotel. With them were Affleck\u2019s children Seraphina, 15, and Samuel, 12, as well as Lopez\u2019s twins, Emme and Max, 16. Lopez, 55, notably wore her engagement ring, albeit on her pinky finger. <\/p>\n What was more notable, however, was what allegedly happened once they got inside. Famous gossip column Page Six got word that Affleck and Lopez were \u2018kissing\u2019 and \u2018holding hands\u2019 during the brunch. \u2018The kids are with them, but at a separate table,\u2019 noted the paper\u2019s onlooker. So what in the name of all that\u2019s holy is going on? Well, Grazia\u2019s own well-placed source says that while the divorce is still on, emotions between the pair are still \u2018raw\u2019. \u2018After a tricky summer they have committed to trying to keep things friendly and dignified for their children\u2019s sake now they\u2019re all back in LA,\u2019 said the source. \u2018Staying close is tricky when there are feelings there, however, which is how PDA\u2019s might happen. There is still love between them.\u2019<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text module_class=”custom-quote” _builder_version=”4.20.4″ _module_preset=”default” header_2_font=”Libre Bodoni|||on|||||” header_2_text_align=”center” header_2_text_color=”#333333″ header_2_font_size=”40px” header_2_line_height=”1.2em” global_colors_info=”{}” theme_builder_area=”post_content” hover_enabled=”0″ sticky_enabled=”0″]<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.20.4″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}” theme_builder_area=”post_content” hover_enabled=”0″ sticky_enabled=”0″]<\/p>\n Neither Affleck nor Lopez are under any illusion that raw emotion is all they need to make a marriage work, though, and whilst they\u2019re saddened by the divorce (particularly, by all accounts JLo, who reportedly felt blindsided by Affleck\u2019s decision to move out of their marital home in LA in April) it\u2019s the only way they can see forward.<\/p>\n \u2018Jen and Ben have so much to figure out still, as far as the financial logistics of their divorce and how to handle the ongoing situation with their kids, who have made it very clear that they all wish to remain close,\u2019 says the source, adding, \u2018Coming back together as a family felt right but it\u2019s still tense.\u2019 Having already rekindled their relationship once, following their first split in 2004, it seems unlikely we\u2019ll see Bennifer 3.0. But, where these two are concerned it is \u2018impossible to rule out\u2019, says the source. Right we\u2019re putting it on our 2025 bingo card…<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_divider color=”#111111″ divider_position=”center” divider_weight=”2px” module_class=”custom-divider” _builder_version=”4.20.4″ _module_preset=”default” custom_margin=”0px||0px||false|false” custom_padding=”0px||0px||false|false” global_colors_info=”{}” theme_builder_area=”post_content”][\/et_pb_divider][et_pb_text module_class=”credit-texts” _builder_version=”4.20.4″ _module_preset=”default” text_font=”|||on|||||” text_orientation=”center” global_colors_info=”{}” theme_builder_area=”post_content” hover_enabled=”0″ sticky_enabled=”0″]<\/p>\n IMAGE: IMAGO<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Where these two are concerned it is \u2018impossible to rule out\u2019, says the source<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":7,"featured_media":4157,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_et_pb_use_builder":"on","_et_pb_old_content":"","_et_gb_content_width":"","_lmt_disableupdate":"","_lmt_disable":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[8],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-4156","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-feature"],"acf":[],"modified_by":"kschwarz","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/flatplanplus.io\/grazia\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4156","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/flatplanplus.io\/grazia\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/flatplanplus.io\/grazia\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/flatplanplus.io\/grazia\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/7"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/flatplanplus.io\/grazia\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=4156"}],"version-history":[{"count":4,"href":"https:\/\/flatplanplus.io\/grazia\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4156\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":4164,"href":"https:\/\/flatplanplus.io\/grazia\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4156\/revisions\/4164"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/flatplanplus.io\/grazia\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/4157"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/flatplanplus.io\/grazia\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=4156"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/flatplanplus.io\/grazia\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=4156"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/flatplanplus.io\/grazia\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=4156"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}

Trouble between the pair was said to have been sparked as early on as during their 2022 Lake Como honeymoon, when Affleck had been, according to Page Six, annoyed by the fact they were photographed by paparazzi. Moments from Lopez\u2019s documentary The Greatest Love Story Never Told perpetuated Affleck\u2019s discomfort with their fame, and her decision to use their relationship as inspiration. In the film, Lopez says, \u2018I don\u2019t think he\u2019s very comfortable with me doing all of this. But he loves me, he knows I\u2019m an artist and he\u2019s going to support me in every way he can\u2026He wants to do that [for me], but that doesn\u2019t mean he\u2019s comfortable being the muse.\u2019 <\/p>\n
