Jennifer Lopez was spotted “holding hands and kissing” her estranged husband Ben Affleck amid the couple’s ongoing divorce, Page Six reported.
A source told Page Six that Lopez, 55, and Affleck, 52, were seen having brunch at the Beverly Hills Hotel in Beverly Hills, California, on September 14. “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,” the source told Page Six.
However, other reports described the outing as tense and kissing-free. According to TMZ, “There was absolutely no PDA between Ben and Jenn — not even the slightest bit of touching. In fact, it seems pretty frigid between the two.” It’s not clear whether TMZ’s sources observed Lopez and Affleck inside the venue, however.
Lopez and Affleck “have reunited amid their divorce,” Page Six reported. However, Page Six reported that the pair were photographed “having what appeared to be an intense conversation in a car parked outside of the building.”

Backgrid USA wrote with the photos, “Ben Affleck and Jennifer Lopez were spotted reuniting for brunch at the Beverly Hills Hotel with their kids. This is their first public reunion since filing for divorce. The estranged couple was accompanied by their children from previous marriages, including Ben’s kids with Jennifer Garner and Jennifer’s twins with Marc Anthony.”
Garner is not featured in the photos.
TMZ reported that Lopez and Affleck did not look very happy as they walked inside together. The entertainment news site described the pair as seeming “frustrated to be there at times” and reported that Affleck was seen “throwing up his hands and getting close to Lopez’s face during their walk-in.”
His body language on the way into the hotel “suggests he’s not thrilled with his soon-to-be ex-wife,” TMZ reported. It’s the first time Lopez and Affleck have been seen in public together since Lopez’s August 20 divorce filing.
