Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck have made their first public appearance together since she filed for divorce, stepping out in Los Angeles on September 14 for a family outing. The couple, accompanied by their blended family, was seen entering a hotel with Affleck's children from his previous marriage to Jennifer Garner—Seraphina, 15, and Samuel, 12—and Lopez's 16-year-old twins, Max and Emme, whom she shares with ex-husband Marc Anthony.

Affleck, dressed casually in a blue button-down shirt, jeans, and Nikes, and Lopez, who wore a black crop top with dark blue flare jeans, were also spotted inside an SUV, with Affleck at the wheel and Lopez in the passenger seat. According to a private news outlet, both stars have not yet commented publicly on the current status of their relationship.

Lopez, 55, officially filed for divorce from Affleck, 52, in Los Angeles on August 20, more than two years after their Las Vegas wedding. In the filing, she revealed that they had been separated since April. Affleck shares another daughter, Violet, 18, with Garner.

This public appearance comes shortly after Lopez attended the 2024 Toronto International Film Festival (TIFF) alone for the premiere of Unstoppable, a film co-produced by Affleck. While Affleck remained in Los Angeles, his longtime friend and fellow producer Matt Damon was present at the event, where he was seen chatting and holding hands with Lopez at an after-party.

Despite the couple's split, Unstoppable director William Goldenberg emphasized that there was no tension on set due to their breakup, stating, "It's always been about the movie, and that's their personal business. We kept our focus on the film and stayed professional throughout."
