Lopez, Affleck Tensions After Reported Garner Reunion

Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck, who split in August 2024, reignited reunion rumors after a cozy red‑carpet moment at Lopez’s Kiss of the Spider Woman premiere, which Affleck attended as an executive producer. Multiple insiders say there is no rekindled romance despite the moment. Lopez is reportedly thriving post‑divorce — focused on her career, children and an upcoming Las Vegas residency — and has said on Howard Stern that her exes were “not capable” of truly loving her. That remark has reportedly angered Affleck, with some sources saying he feels “livid” and insulted. Reports conflict about Lopez’s personal life — some outlets say she’s turned to spiritual rituals and hasn’t fully accepted the split, while close sources say she has accepted it. Separately, several insiders say Affleck has restarted a clandestine, boundary‑based intimate relationship with his ex Jennifer Garner, which they describe as a private arrangement distinct from his public history with Lopez.
