Ben Affleck was 'delighted' to be with Jennifer Lopez during their reunion earlier this month, a body language expert has claimed.
The former celebrity power couple announced their divorce back in August after just two years of marriage noting the official date of their separation as 26 April 2024.
Since then, however, the pair were spotted on a blended family outing last week (14 September).

Page Six reported that Jen and Ben were even spotted 'kissing' during the family day out.
Since the surprise reunion, body language expert Inbaal Honigman has weighed in on their interaction after paparazzi photos sent the internet into a total spiral.
Speaking on behalf of Slingo, she noted that a key behaviour has shifted between the two of them.
Honigman told Tyla: "Jen is behind Ben rather than side-by-side, which could suggest that she's letting him take the lead.

"During their relationships in the past, Ben and Jen have always walked in-step, meaning striding at the same pace, keeping up with one another.
"When seen in the wild - shopping or casually strolling, their steps have always matched. This is a sign of natural compatibility, togetherness and respect."
She continued: "Neither one rushes ahead or falls behind. Whenever they're observed off a red carpet, their expressions, styles and strides match.

"This pair on a red carpet, is when their differences are highlighted. But here they appear true to form, similar and attentive to one another."
The body language expert also pointed to Ben's apparent emotions, adding: "In this series of photographs, Ben appears more animated and excited than usual, suggesting that he's delighted to be catching up with his soon-to-be ex-wife, thrilled to be in her presence.
"Jen, on the other hand, appears quieter and more composed than usual, which could mean that the pain of the impending divorce still hurts a lot."

The 'Papi' hit-maker and Good Will Hunting star - known as 'Bennifer' back in the early 2000s - first met on the set of Gigli back in 2001.
Their wedding had been set for June 2003 but had been postponed but, ultimately, it all proved too much and they called it quits the following year.
They both went off to marry different partners, Lopez with Marc Anthony in June 2004 and Affleck with Jennifer Garner in June the following year.
After over a decade, the pair got engaged once again in April 2022 before tying the knot the second time around in July that same year.
