Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck have made a surprising appearance together following their divorce, and the reunion has fans seriously confused.
Now, it's safe to say that the pair have quite the history, with J.Lo filing for divorce from Affleck in August last year, two years to the day from when they enjoyed their second, more lavish wedding ceremony in Georgia.
The famous it-couple, who are known to many as 'Bennifer', were initially engaged in the early noughties before calling it quits in 2004 due to 'excessive media attention'.
Many fans reckoned they were simply meant to be as they reconciled two decades later in 2021, tying the knot in a Las Vegas wedding in 2022, before their Georgia ceremony later that year.

So, you can understand why fans were so gutted when they called it quits for the second time, with J.Lo citing 'irreconcilable differences' as her reason for the divorce in 2024.
Now, following their split, Lopez, 56, and Affleck, 53, have been spotted together several times with the latest 'reunion' being at the Kiss of the Spider Woman premiere in New York City on Monday (6 October).
Lopez stars in the musical, and is also an executive producer alongside Affleck.

They seemed to be in good spirits as paparazzi photographed the 'Papi' singer speaking to Affleck as he leaned in to talk in her ear.
The former couple even posed for pictures together and, at one point during the red carpet appearance, the Good Will Hunting star put his hand on her waist to help her walk the red carpet.
After catching light of the snaps, fans rushed to social media to share their reactions, with one X user dubbing the former couple: "Mr. & Mrs. Do It For The Plot."
"Here we go again," chimed in a second, while a third piped up: "They really should get married again just for the hell of it."

A fourth declared: "They aren’t done."
"Omg not again," quipped a fifth, and another asked: "How many times have they done this?"
And a final X user echoed: "Third time’s the charm?"

It's clear that, despite their tumultuous relationship history, the pair think very highly of one another, with Affleck gushing that his ex-wife was 'amazing' in the film in an interview with Extra at the premiere.
"Early on in Jennifer’s involvement in this … she just was going to give it her all and she did," he praised. "She worked enormously hard. You get to see like all of her many gifts, she’s somebody that grew up watching, you know, classic musicals.
"She really does it all in this movie!" Affleck added.
Meanwhile, in an interview with Today, Lopez credited Affleck for getting the movie made.

"If it wasn’t for Ben, the movie wouldn’t have (gotten) made, and I will always give him that credit," she shared.
