Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck had a surprise reunion on the red carpet of her new film, their first public appearance together since finalizing their divorce earlier this year.
The "On the Floor" singer and the Argo director had a run-in on Monday (October 6) while at the premiere of Lopez's new film Kiss of the Spider Woman in New York City, per Page Six. While Lopez stars in the musical thriller, Artists Equity, Affleck's production company with Matt Damon, co-produced the film.
The exes were seen talking to each other on the red carpet and even posed for a few photos together, Affleck in a navy blue suit and Lopez in a brown floral gown with spider-like structured black overlay from Harris Reed's spring 2026 collection. At one point, Affleck was seen smiling and leaning toward Lopez to talk in her ear.

According to People, they also each praised the other while introducing the film during the premiere. Lopez said the film "wouldn't have been made without Ben and without Artists Equity" while Affleck called his ex's performance "incredible" and praised the other actors and director for their work.
"My goal was to empower great artists, tell moving stories, create great opportunities for these kinds of great stories to be told, and to work with the best directors in the world and the best actors and the best material," he added. "In this movie, we did all that and it's an honor to be here."
The reunion between the former couple marks their first appearance together since their divorce was finalized in January, months after Lopez filed to end their marriage after two years. Despite their split, they are reported to be on "friendly terms."
