Ben Affleck has dominated headlines and sparked a frenzy on both sides of the Atlantic this week, with his present and past romantic ties front and center. Most notably, Affleck was seen with ex-wife Jennifer Lopez at the New York City premiere of her new film Kiss of the Spider Woman, a major musical adaptation that Affleck produced through his company Artists Equity. According to InStyle and multiple outlets, the two appeared amiable, laughing and posing together on the red carpet just months after finalizing their divorce. Lopez even credited Affleck with getting her passion project made, telling CBS News Sunday Morning last week, If it wasn’t for Ben, the movie wouldn’t have gotten made. And I will always give him that credit.

Speculation swirled immediately about the significance of this friendly reunion; insiders cited by IBTimes and KoiMoi say that while their chemistry was obvious and their families remain deeply intertwined, the moment was friendly, not romantic. However, rumors are ablaze that their children—Lopez’s twins and Affleck’s three with Jennifer Garner—are urging a full Bennifer 3.0, hoping for their two families to blend again. At the same time, some sources warn the red-carpet coziness may be a strategic PR move tied to Lopez’s Oscar campaign, with Affleck’s involvement boosting her awards season chops.

Nevertheless, anonymous insiders via Us Weekly and Page Six stress that Lopez has accepted the split and has no interest in rekindling romance, describing her as independent and at peace, while Affleck is said to feel cautious and a bit cringeworthy about another round. Other sources claim Lopez is still trying to win him back, with some reports alleging she’s turned to mystical means, but that remains in the land of speculation. Social media has fed the fire, with buzz about their lingering dynamic and whether it’s the stuff of genuine rekindling or pure Hollywood optics—so far, there’s more sizzle than actual fire.

In professional news, Affleck’s branding as an executive producer is as strong as ever, his company Artists Equity receiving high marks for allowing ambitious talent like Lopez to realize dream projects. He’s also still attached as a key brand ambassador for Dunkin’, turning up recently at advertising industry panels discussing how to stay culturally relevant, and his business acumen continues to draw praise from industry peers.

Separately, Affleck reportedly took note of his ex, Ana de Armas, now single after her split from Tom Cruise, and is open to exploring another go. According to the Economic Times, he’s much more grounded these days but whether a reunion with Ana is serious intent or idle curiosity is unclear.

Amid the media chaos, Affleck has kept a relatively low-key social presence, focusing on work, family, and healthy routines, including a much-publicized remark via Insider that he wants his kids to work minimum wage jobs to learn real-world lessons despite his wealth. This layering of old flame reunions, high-profile production moves, and dad-next-door humility only adds more intrigue to Affleck’s already storied public persona.
