The duo was spotted together once again, grabbing headlines around the globe. The buzz was virtually inevitable as the Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice actor Ben Affleck and the multitalented Jennifer Lopez were spotted having brunch with their children at the famed Polo Lounge in Beverly Hills, Calif., on Saturday — and the stars were seen holding hands and kissing.
Both stars, who are no strangers to attention, seemed to revel in each other's company. An inside source claimed that Affleck "could not keep his hands off" Lopez, a sentence that sends millions of fans into a frenzy, invoking sentiments of both nostalgia and hope. The chemistry between them was reported to be tangible, suggesting a rekindling of their romantic relationship.
The insider added, “They have always had a lot of sexual chemistry. That was not planned. They are still attracted to one another.”
“It was Ben Affleck’s idea to meet there,” the insider said. “He wanted to show that they are friendly exes.”
Two of Affleck’s children, Seraphina, 15, and Samuel, 12 — and Lopez’s twins, Emme and Max, 16 — are close and sat at a different table during the family brunch outing.
But reports said Bennifer’s reunion doesn’t mean a reconciliation. A source told People: “Lopez is trying to be friendly with Ben. They are still moving forward with the divorce though.”
Lopez filed for divorce from Affleck on the couple’s second wedding anniversary last month.
At the weekend brunch, Lopez perhaps symbolically wore her engagement ring on her pinky finger, and a “Jennifer” ring on her wedding finger.
“A divorce is never easy, but Jennifer doesn’t want to be selfish about it,” a source told People. “The kids always got along and have fun together. It makes her happy seeing the kids happy together. Happy kids are her priority.”
