Ben Affleck and Jennifer Lopez, who had tied the knot just two years ago, announced their separation in April 2024. The breakup was reportedly a devastating blow for Lopez, who filed for divorce shortly after.

However, in a surprising turn of events, the couple was spotted on a date less than a month later. Accompanied by their children from previous relationships, they were seen at a restaurant in the Beverly Hills Hotel.

Paparazzi captured the couple engaged in what appeared to be a tense conversation. The reasons for their meeting and the state of their relationship were unclear. In some photos, Affleck seemed visibly upset by the paparazzi, while in others, the couple appeared calm and collected. Witnesses claimed that there were moments of both tension and affection between them.
