Ben Affleck’s VERY familiar whispers to Jennifer Lopez on the red carpet revealed… as their romantic new era sends fans into overdrive

by

A gentle touch on her back, soft whispers, and a rare glimpse of Ben Affleck’s smile – the first in a long time.

Fans are excited about the possibility of Ben Affleck and Jennifer Lopez getting back together after they recently appeared together on a red carpet – their first public appearance since their divorce was completed earlier this year.

Despite recently splitting up – less than two years after their wedding – the couple appeared happy and in love while promoting their new movie, ‘Kiss of a Spider Woman,’ in New York City on Monday night.

The actor, known for his serious and often grumpy expression that’s become popular online, was beaming as he gazed at his former wife. They shared quiet, intimate moments while posing for photos.

Lip reader Nicola Hickling says Ben Affleck, 53, playfully teased Jennifer Lopez about her dramatic Harris Reed gown, like a loving husband would. He appeared to say, ‘I hate the black plastic bit on there.’

According to reports, Lopez, 56, responded to something by saying, ‘I already told you I was wearing this.’ Staying true to his personality, Affleck then made a joke about not wanting to be photographed, playfully leaning into Lopez and saying, ‘They’re not going to stop, I’m finished.’

Even though they appear to be getting back together, a source told the Daily Mail that a reunion isn’t likely at this time.

According to a source close to the couple, Ben and Jen have a complicated relationship – they can’t seem to stay apart, despite their issues. They clearly share a deep connection and will likely remain a part of each other’s lives indefinitely.

Their love story is a decades-long rollercoaster saga of trying – and failing – to make it work.

Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck first connected in 2001 while filming the movie *Gigli*. Soon after, Affleck appeared in Lopez’s “Jenny From the Block” music video. A few months later, he proposed with a stunning 6.1-carat pink diamond ring estimated to be worth $2.5 million.

Their romance was intense but short-lived. They ended their engagement after a year, and completely broke up in 2004.

Ben Affleck married Jennifer Garner and they had three children together. Meanwhile, Jennifer Lopez was married to Marc Anthony for ten years and they have 17-year-old twins. After their divorce, Lopez dated Beau ‘Casper’ Smart and even had a brief relationship with Drake before becoming engaged to Alex Rodriguez.

After Ben and Jen split, it was tough to watch, but he did seem to find some brief happiness with Ana de Armas and Lindsay Shookus. It wasn’t long-term, but it was nice to see him trying to move forward.

In a surprising turn of events, Ben Affleck and Jennifer Lopez got back together in 2021. They then married in 2022, holding not one, but two wedding celebrations – a quick ceremony in Las Vegas, and a larger event at Affleck’s Georgia estate.

Two years after their wedding, Jennifer Lopez filed for divorce, following months of rumors about trouble in their marriage.

Shortly after, Jennifer Lopez opened up about her divorce in an interview with comedian Nikki Glasser for Interview magazine, describing the experience as both sad and frightening.

The singer and actress hinted that her former partner wasn’t accepting of everything she was, without mentioning his name.

Interestingly, despite finalizing their divorce, Affleck publicly complimented Lopez when their movie, Unstoppable, came out last year. Sources told the Daily Mail that the film was a significant financial undertaking for Affleck and his business partner, Matt Damon.

Because Ben is a well-respected figure, his opinions carry a lot of weight. If he praises his ex-wife, people will likely believe it and be interested in seeing her film.

He hasn’t spoken about her since they broke up, and this is the only comment he plans to make.

Okay, so I’ve been following everything about this new movie, ‘Kiss of a Spider Woman,’ and honestly, it’s killing me! Ben Affleck is just… amazing. He’s been doing all these interviews, and every single time, he can’t stop talking about how incredible Jennifer Garner is in it. Like, seriously, he’s just showering her with praise! It’s so sweet, even though it’s a little… complicated, you know? I’m living for this supportive energy, it’s everything!

He told Extra on the red carpet that she was fantastic in the movie. He quickly realized she would either deliver an incredible performance or her character would meet an unfortunate end, and she fully committed to the role, working extremely hard to make it great.

He went on, exaggerating slightly, to explain that the role would showcase her many talents. He noted she’d grown up loving classic musicals and is also skilled in modern dance.

She truly shines in this film, handling all aspects – acting, singing, and dancing – and perfectly capturing the essence of the story. It’s a fantastic performance, but honestly, it’s exactly what you’d expect from her.

Some fans saw this as a promising sign for the couple’s potential rekindled romance, while others remained skeptical. They pointed out that both individuals are experienced at managing public image and cautioned against reading too much into the situation.

One Reddit user pointed out that this seems like a calculated effort to squash any rumors of conflict. They explained that in today’s climate, any perceived awkwardness between the two will trigger negativity from both sides – misogynists will attack her, and others will blame him. Avoiding tension on the red carpet benefits everyone, and a positive public image will help promote the film and potentially boost her chances of receiving an Oscar nomination, which she’s still hoping for.

Another added: ‘Finally! A perspective without rose-colored glasses. [People] really ate this up.’

According to a source, both individuals want the project to succeed and are supportive of each other, so they’re avoiding any public conflict when appearing together.

They’re both mature and handling the situation like adults, not paying attention to outside opinions or criticism.

A romantic relationship isn’t likely for these two, but they’ll remain friends and treat each other with respect.
