Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck recently met up at the Beverly Hills Hotel for brunch, and Bennifer fans can’t stop talking about it. Lopez filed for divorce from Affleck on Aug. 20, 2024, after two years of marriage. However, reports suggest the exes were kissing on their brunch date. Unfortunately, a source said that their PDA doesn’t affect Lopez’s plans to move forward with the divorce.

Ben Affleck allegedly couldn’t keep his hands off Jennifer Lopez during a recent meeting

After two years, Ben Affleck and Jennifer Lopez are officially calling it quits on their marriage. Lopez filed for divorce in August 2024 and listed their official date of separation as April 26, 2024. The couple hasn’t been together for months, with Affleck spending his summer in Los Angeles and Lopez spending hers on the East Coast in the Hamptons. They also allegedly haven’t communicated much before and after the divorce filing.

Affleck and Lopez surprised Bennifer fans by attending a brunch in September 2024. The couple met at the Polo Lounge in the Beverly Hills Hotel. A source told Page Six that Affleck wanted to meet at the hot spot, as he hoped paparazzi would take their pictures and show the public that they’re remaining friendly post-divorce.

“It was Ben Affleck’s idea to meet there,” the insider said. “He wanted to show that they are friendly exes.”

According to the insider, Affleck and Lopez’s brunch got more than friendly. Some sources claimed they saw the couple kissing.

“Once they were together, he could not keep his hands off,” the source alleged of Affleck. “They have always had a lot of sexual chemistry. That was not planned. They are still attracted to one another.”

Jennifer Lopez was married three times before Ben Affleck. She tied the knot with her first husband, Ojani Noa, in 1997. They split just 11 months later.

“I was the first, the pioneer,” Noa told DailyMail.com. “I was there at the beginning of her career supporting her, ­dealing with her anxieties and insecurities.”

Noa added that he “put a lot of time and effort into loving” Lopez, and he now has some advice for her as she attempts to date after Affleck.

“Stay single for a while; take 12 months off,” Noa warned. “If she meets someone new, maybe keep it private and not get ­married again.”

“I would just say to Jen: you need to be yourself so you can find yourself,” he added.
