‘Kissing’: Ben Affleck and Jennifer Lopez reunited

Hollywood stars Ben Affleck and Jennifer Lopez seemingly have one of the longest running on and off celebrity romances ever.

Jennifer Lopez reportedly on brink of new home purchase

Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck have reunited amid their divorce.

The estranged couple was spotted having brunch together with their children at the Beverly Hills Hotel in Beverly Hills, Calif., on Saturday.

A source exclusively tells Page Six, “Ben and JLo are currently at the Polo Lounge at the Beverly Hills Hotel holding hands and kissing. The kids are with them, but at a separate table.”

Reps for Lopez and Affleck did not immediately respond to Page Six’s requests for comment.

At one point, the pair was photographed having what appeared to be an intense conversation in a car parked outside of the building.

Lopez wore a long-sleeved black crop top and flared dark-wash jeans for the outing, while Affleck sported a blue button-down shirt and jeans with Nike sneakers.

The “Hustlers” star, 55, also notably wore her engagement ring on her pinky finger and a “Jennifer” ring on her wedding finger.

Affleck’s children Seraphina, 15, and Samuel, 12, as well as Lopez’s twins, Emme and Max, 16, were photographed entering the hotel with them.

The family outing was punctuated by an appearance from Affleck’s ex-wife Jennifer Garner, who was seen leaving the hotel with her kids after grabbing brunch.

The sighting comes nearly a month after the “On the Floor” singer filed for divorce from the “Argo” star, 52, on what would have been the second anniversary of their Georgia wedding.

In the filing, she cited irreconcilable differences as the reason for their split.

Lopez also listed their date of separation as April 26.

In August, the “Let’s Get Loud” songstress formally asked a judge to change her legal name from “Jennifer Lynn Affleck” to “Jennifer Lynn Lopez” after taking the actor’s last name when they eloped in July 2022.

The two reportedly didn’t sign a prenup before they married, which could potentially lead to a battle over assets, including their Beverly Hills mansion that they put up for sale for $68 million ($AU101.4m) in July.

Affleck — who was rumoured to have been spending time with Kick Kennedy — has since moved to a $20 million mansion in the Pacific Palisades, while Lopez has been house hunting.
