Bennifer 2.0 has made their red carpet debut.
Ben Affleck and Jennifer Lopez posed for pictures together at the premiere of Ridley Scott’s The Last Duel Friday evening in at the Venice Film Festival — their first public event since rekindling their relationship in April.
Lopez was seen proudly walking beside and holding hands with Affleck who plays the role of Count Pierre of Alençon in the upcoming historical drama.
He also co-wrote the Ridley Scott-directed film with longtime friend and frequent collaborator Matt Damon, who has been a big-time fan of Affleck’s on-again romance with Lopez.
In July, Damon said he was “so happy” for his best bud, adding, “I love them both.”
Although Lopez was playing the supportive girlfriend role at Friday’s Venice Film Festival event, the singer stole the show in a long, white Georges Hobeika gown.
The fashionista and her clutch were dripped in luxurious jewels as she wore her honey brown hair down in waves.
Affleck, for his part, looked suave in a classic black tuxedo with a bow tie.
Prior to getting glammed up, the stars were spotted enjoying some quiet one-on-one time on the balcony of their hotel.
The sweet moment came in between a Last Duel photo call earlier on Friday, which Lopez also attended, and the night-time premiere.
The last time the couple walked an official red carpet together was in February 2003 at the Daredevil premiere, when they were still engaged. They split months later in January 2004.
However, since reconciling their relationship earlier this year, the pair have given paparazzi plenty of PDA-packed photo-ops.
In July, Lopez and Affleck arrived in Italy to help ring in the Hustlers star’s birthday on a mega-yacht.
The Hollywood A-listers then made their way back to Europe earlier this week for the Venice Film Festival.
They arrived in style on a water taxi, with Lopez wearing a white lace dress, silver accessories and black sunglasses. Affleck, meanwhile, donned a black long-sleeve polo shirt and black jeans.
Lopez and Affleck appear to be going strong, as they were rumoured to be shopping around for a mansion together in Los Angeles.
They reconciled after Lopez’s split from fiance Alex Rodriguez earlier this year.
