Jennifer Lopez And Ben Affleck – Spotted Together For First Time After Making Divorce Official
Divorce rumors had been plaguing Lopez and Affleck for months even before Lopez officially filed the papers on August 20. At the time, it was revealed that Lopez could take no more because Affleck wasn’t willing to put in the work to resolve the issues in their marriage.
Their Saturday, September 14 outing was the first time that the estranged couple were spotted together. Each star arrived at the Beverly Hills Hotel with their children: the “Marry Me” actress with her 16-year-old twins Emme and Max, and the “Batman” actor with two of his three children, 15-year-old daughter Seraphina, and 12-year-old son, Samuel.
Lopez, always fashionable, brought her A-game to the family outing in a high-waisted, dark-wash jeans that flared at the knee down and still hugged her curves. Her caramel blonde hair more or less matched the gold-rimmed brown aviators she wore to shade her eyes.
Affleck went for a more casual get-up in a cobalt blue button-up top, jeans and a pair of Nike sneakers. He matched Lopez by completing the look with aviators, though his were way more shaded.
