J. Lo And Ben Affleck Share A Red-Carpet Moment
Despite their split months ago, the pair looked friendly and cozy together on the red carpet. The duo stopped to take some photos together to celebrate the production. The pair were all smiles as they chatted on the red carpet.
No Bad Blood: Their actions during the premiere would suggest that there is no bad blood between the two of them. In fact, J. Lo took the opportunity to thank her ex-husband. People Magazine shares the following quote from the star.
- “Thank you so much, thank you, everybody, for being here tonight. Thank you, Ben, this movie wouldn’t have been made without Ben and without Artists Equity.”
- Then she continued, “I read the script, if you know, I was in bed and I was just floored. I was just like, could this be happening right now? I get to sing, I get to dance, I get to act. I get to be an old-time Hollywood movie star.”
A Brief History Of Their Rocky Relationship
While the pair seems to be getting along professionally now, they have a long-winded tale together. They initially met in 2002 and began dating shortly after. Afterward, they got engaged, but called it off in 2004. From there, they both pursued other relationships.
Each of the stars started families of their own and seemingly went their separate ways. Then, after many years, they rekindled their romance in 2021. Shortly after, they married in Las Vegas in 2022. Unfortunatley, the good times did not last, and the pair divorced in 2024.
