Hollywood’s famous duo, Ben Affleck and Jennifer Lopez, spent a casual day with their children, making it clear that the chemistry between them is still very much alive.

Although the two stars are currently in the process of divorce, they were spotted together last weekend enjoying lunch at the Polo Lounge, located at the Beverly Hills Hotel in California. Lopez kept her style relaxed, wearing a black cropped long-sleeve top paired with dark blue high-waisted jeans. The 55-year-old performer showed up with her 16-year-old twins, Emme and Max, whom she shares with her ex-husband, Marc Anthony.

Ben Affleck, 52, opted for a relaxed look, sporting a vibrant blue shirt paired with denim and his go-to sneakers. He was accompanied by two of his kids from his former marriage to Jennifer Garner: 15-year-old Seraphina and 12-year-old Samuel. Their oldest child, 18-year-old Violet, was absent as she is currently in college in Connecticut.

Despite their ongoing divorce, Affleck and Lopez were seen warmly hugging and exchanging a kiss on the cheek upon greeting each other. They stayed close and seemed to enjoy each other’s company, smiling and talking as they walked toward the restaurant. According to an insider, the lunch was Ben’s idea. He wanted the media to capture them together and put an end to rumors surrounding their relationship. “Ben wanted the photos. That place is known for paparazzi hanging around. It’s the spot you go to if you want to be noticed,” shared the source.

As the two walked side by side, it was hard to miss the undeniable chemistry that still exists between them. “Ben wasn’t expecting to find Jennifer so irresistible. As soon as they were together, he couldn’t take his eyes off her. The connection between them has always been strong. It wasn’t something they planned, but the attraction is still there,” the insider added.

Their children, who bonded during their parents’ two-year marriage, seemed comfortable and at ease with one another. They sat together, chatting and enjoying the family moment. Later in the day, Lopez and Affleck were seen in what appeared to be a serious conversation near a car outside the hotel, according to reports from Page Six.

Nonetheless, insiders close to the pair have clarified that their warm reunion does not indicate a romantic rekindling. “Jennifer is prioritizing a cordial relationship with Ben for the well-being of the children.” They’re both committed to moving forward with the divorce.”Divorce is always challenging, but Jennifer is focused on not being self-centered. Her main concern is seeing the kids happy and getting along,” the insider shared, highlighting Lopez’s commitment to ensuring her children’s well-being during this time.
