Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck spotted at back-to-school night: Divorce off the table?

Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck have reunited amid ongoing divorce proceedings. The estranged couple was seen putting on a united front for their children as they attended their kids' back-to-school night on September 19, reminiscent of the old Bennifer days before their separation.

This marks their second public appearance together after being spotted kissing and holding hands just days ago, sparking speculation among fans about a potential reconciliation.

Jennifer Lopez-Ben Affleck back-to-school outings

J.Lo and Affleck share a large blended family, including the actor’s three children with ex-wife Jennifer Garner: Samuel, 12, Seraphina, 15, and Violet, 18.

Lopez has twins, Emme and Max, 16, with ex-husband Marc Anthony, and she remains close with all the kids they raise together.

According to TMZ, Lopez and Affleck were seen ‘making their way’ to a Los Angeles-area school where their children are enrolled. However, Violet, the eldest, was absent as she recently started college.

Sources close to the couple told TMZ that Lopez and Affleck were ‘completely cool and very cordial’ during the event. Insiders revealed that despite their separation, they continue to ‘care for each other’ and are fully dedicated to their children's well-being.

While fans speculate a potential reconciliation between Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck, especially after they've started spending time together following months of separation, social media is buzzing with comments like ‘Bennifer's powerful comeback,’ ‘oh, so divorce cancelled,’ and ‘hoping they call off their divorce.’

However, a source told the outlet that the divorce is still on track.

‘They are still moving forward with their divorce,’ the source confirmed, emphasizing that the couple is prioritizing their children's well-being, remaining close to both.

Lopez filed for divorce on August 20 without an attorney, just two years after their second wedding. The couple had first married in a private ceremony at The Little White Chapel in Las Vegas in July 2022, followed by a grand reception in Georgia.

In a surprise twist, Lopez and Affleck were spotted at the Beverly Hills Hotel having lunch together, despite living separately. The couple, dining without their children, were seen holding hands and sharing a kiss at the Polo Lounge. Insiders told Page Six that Affleck ‘could not keep his hands off’ Lopez during the meal, with one source adding, ‘They’ve always had undeniable sexual chemistry and are still very attracted to each other.’
