Jennifer lopez and ben affleck put on a united front as they stepped out together in new york city for the premiere of Kiss from the spider womanjust months after finalizing their divorce.
The former couple, who split nine months ago, appeared relaxed and cheerful as he posed on the red carpet.
Jennifer, 56, turned heads in a green off-the-shoulder floral dress from Harris Reed, complete with a dramatic spider-inspired design at the waist.
Ben, 53, opted for a classic look and wore a navy suit paired with a crisp white shirt that left open at the collar.
Cameras caught the two sharing moments, with Affleck placing his arm around Lopez’s waist while she rested her hand on his back.
They were also seen exchanging warm smiles and chatting closely before entering the theater.
Affleck, who served as an executive producer on the project, praised his ex-wife at the event. “This movie is exquisite,” he said in a video obtained by PEOPLE.
“Jennifer, you are incredible.”
Lopez, for her part, acknowledged Affleck’s role in making the project a reality.
“If it wasn’t, the movie wouldn’t have been made,” she shared earlier today. “And I will always give him that credit.”
Reflecting on her personal journey, Lopez admitted that filming overlapped with the end of their marriage.
“Things happen, you have to keep going,” she said, explaining that the experience of working on the Broadway adaptation helped her through a difficult time.
“It’s funny, the film is about escapism. It’s about how movies and art save us in the most difficult times of our lives. This project was such a dream come true for me that it really helped me survive a moment that was also difficult in my personal life.”
Despite their split, Lopez and Affleck’s red carpet reunion highlighted mutual respect and support, both for each other and the work they put on screen.
