Ben Affleck, Jennifer Lopez Reunite in Public, But Still Living Apart

Ben Affleck and Jennifer Lopez are still on speaking terms as they go through whatever they’re going through — they briefly reunited for the sake of their kids, but they’re still not under the same roof.

The couple was photographed together for the first time in well over a month Thursday evening, coming together for a school play starring Ben’s kid, Fin.

We’re told Ben and Jen arrived separately, but both showed up with flowers for Fin … and they didn’t keep their distance. They were chatting it up with each other ahead of the play.

After the event, Ben gave Jen and Emme a ride back to the Beverly Hills family home … which he and the singer scooped up for $60 million last year.

The Oscar winner later returned to his new Brentwood rental … making it clear he and Jen continue to live separately right now.

While Ben and Jen haven’t officially called it quits, all signs are pointing to a split — at least for now — with Ben making himself quite at home in Brentwood.

Earlier in the day, the actor/director was spotted coming and going from the new residence … with his mom, Chris, even swinging by the house. The mother-son duo were seen spending quality time together … with Jen nowhere in sight.

Ben’s also been ordering McDonald’s to the Brentwood house … clearly taking his meals apart from his wife.

Still, the couple has been sending all sorts of mixed messages as of late … with Jennifer and Ben continuing to wear their wedding rings in public.

Ben and Jen’s love story has had a number of bumps in the road … as the couple first got together in 2002, after costarring in “Gigli” together. They were briefly engaged before calling things off in 2004.

The duo romantically reunited almost 20 years later … announcing their 2nd engagement in 2022. They wed in a Las Vegas ceremony that same year — celebrating their nuptials once again in a lavish wedding at Ben’s Georgia house.
