New York City — On October 6, Jennifer Lopez and her ex-husband Ben Affleck appeared together at the premiere of Kiss of the Spider Woman, prompting fresh speculation about their relationship.
The event highlighted their continued professional alliance and mutual respect, yet several sources insist their connection is strictly collaborative.
Affleck, who served as executive producer on the film through Artists Equity, praised Lopez in remarks at the screening.
He said her performance showed “all of her many gifts,” and described the role as one she perhaps was born to play.
Lopez responded by crediting Affleck and his production team, telling the audience the movie would not have existed without their involvement.
Still, insiders contacted by People emphasize the reunion carried no romantic intent, and there's nothing to make the Bennifer 3.0 a reality.
One source said, “There’s no romantic reunion with Ben,” and that Lopez is focused on “family and work.”
Another source added that Lopez “always enjoyed working with Ben” and their professional relationship has not changed.
The two are described as being “in a good place,” continuing to support each other’s careers with mutual pride.
This meeting marks their first major joint public appearance since Lopez filed for divorce in August 2024, which was finalized in January 2025.
Over the years, their relationship has drawn intense public interest from their original engagement in the early 2000s to their rekindling in 2021 and eventual marriage.
Observers see the reunion as calculated: Lopez is positioning Kiss of the Spider Woman movie as a major career moment, and having Affleck, who's a known name in Hollywood for his superhero role as Batman, by her side strengthens the narrative.
Yet sources like CNN and more are keen to quiet rumors, stressing that current dynamics are professional, not romantic.
