Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck may have to navigate one very awkward reunion in just two weeks

Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck could be due to run into one another sooner than they'd like

Their divorce may have only hit the headlines a matter of days ago, but it looks like Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck could be set to reunite sooner than they may have liked.

Fans of the Hollywood duo were heartbroken when it was revealed on Tuesday (20 August) that the 'Jenny From The Block' singer had officially filed for divorce from her actor hubby.

The duo had only been married for two years (to the day!) when news broke, with J. Lo citing 'irreconcilable differences' as the reason why.

The shock split followed months of speculation over their couple's relationship, with fans having noticed several major hints over the last year that there may have been trouble in paradise.

Back in July, an insider source told the Daily Mail that the pair - who'd first dated back in the early Noughties before rekindling in 2022 - had 'finalised the divorce papers' a month prior, but were 'waiting for the right time to drop them'.

And while most newly-divorced couples couldn't think of anything worse than coming face to face with their former other-half, for 'Bennifer' - as they were lovingly nicknamed by fans prior to the initial 2004 split - a reunion may just be part of a day's work.

That's because their joint project - a heartbreaking drama movie titled Unstoppable - is due to land in cinemas very soon.

And what always accompanies a star-studded silver-screen blockbuster? A string of equally star-studded movie premieres, attended by the cast and crew.

The film - which tells the tale of a man born with one leg, who grows up to become a champion wrestler in college - is set to premiere in the Special Presentations section at the Toronto International Film Festival on 6 September.

This event will be followed by a limited Amazon MGM Studios theatrical release in December.

While musician Jennifer, 55, plays the part of the wrester's mother in the movie, Ben, 51 - alongside long-time pal Matt Damon - works as a producers, with the film having been fronted by their own firm Artists Equity.

Whether or not the couple will appear on together on the red carpet, however, is anyone's guess.

While the Daily Mail claim a source has informed them that other producers are allegedly 'pushing the two to appear together at the premiere in Toronto' in order to 'create buzz on the film', other outlets say otherwise.

One of which is Page Six, which claims a separate insider told them that while Jennifer will make an appearance as one of Unstoppable's lead characters, Ben will remain home in Los Angeles.

I guess only time will tell...

Tyla has contacted Jennifer and Ben's representatives for comment.
