Just days after Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck made a shock public reuinion, a body language expert has weighed in to break down their current dynamic.
Last month, J.Lo called time on her marriage and filed for divorce, citing irreconcilable differences. She said the date of their separation was 26 April 2024.
However, the two were spotted on a blended family outing on 14 September, with Page Six later reporting that the two were spotted 'kissing' during the day out.

A source said: "Ben and J.Lo are currently at the Polo Lounge at the Beverly Hills Hotel holding hands and kissing. The kids are with them, but at a separate table.”
And as the paparazzi pictures of the day out have now surfaced, including some shots in a car, body language expert Inbaal Honigman has weighed in.
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."
He 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."
She also noted Ben's apparent emotions.
Honigman continued: "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."
When Lopez was photographed at the Toronto Film Festival on 6 September - days before her reunion with Affleck - it seemed like she'd covered up a matching tattoo she'd got with her estranged husband of an infinity symbol with the pair's initials.
It's currently unclear if the tattoo was removed or covered with makeup.
Tyla has previously reached out to representatives of Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck for comment.
