Lopez officially filed for divorce from Affleck on the second anniversary of their nuptials in August 2022, after months of speculation about the split.
She cited the date of separation as April 26, 2024, and it was reported that the couple did not have a prenuptial agreement when they tied the knot in July 2022.
In June, they put their marital home up for sale, valued at $68 million.
Ben has since moved into a $20 million bachelor pad in Pacifica Palisades, located just down the road from his ex Garner’s home, while JLo has been touring lavish properties in Los Angeles in recent weeks as she tries to move on from the Argo star.
They reunited on Tuesday for the second time, as they were spotted attending their children’s back-to-school night in Los Angeles, according to TMZ.
Lopez shares twins Max and Emme, 16, with ex-husband Marc Anthony, while Affleck shares three children (Violet, 18, Fin, 15, and Samuel, 12) with ex-wife Jennifer Garner, 52.
Over the weekend, the duo surprised fans by reuniting for the first time since filing for divorce.
On Saturday, Affleck and Lopez took their children Max, Emme, Samuel and Fin to the Beverly Hills Hotel for lunch.
At one point, Affleck leaned in to talk to the Maid in Manhattan star while gesturing with his arms as they walked toward the hotel entrance.
The exes were later photographed engaging in what appeared to be a tense conversation inside Affleck’s vehicle in the parking lot after the family meal.
At the end of the brunch, Ben’s ex Jennifer Garner arrived to pick up her and Affleck’s two sons, Fin and Samuel, while the Bennifers left together.
Affleck notably wore her engagement ring from Ben on her pinky finger, along with a gold band with the word “Jennifer” on her ring finger.
Although the photos portrayed a frosty reunion between the pair, Page Six wildly claimed that Affleck couldn’t keep his hands off her as they dined at the posh hotel.
It was also claimed that Ben “kissed” Jennifer because he is still “attracted” to her.
The outlet’s source explained that their children were also nearby at the restaurant, “but at a separate table.”
DailyMail.com has reached out to representatives for comment on the shocking PDA claims but has not received a response.
However, PEOPLE insisted the divorce is still on, even though PageSix claimed the exes were hugging and kissing.
Lopez is reportedly “trying to be friendly” with Affleck for the sake of their children.
A source told PEOPLE: “They all got together for a fun lunch so the kids could hang out. (Lopez) is trying to be friendly with Ben. However, they are still moving forward with the divorce.”

Lopez officially filed for divorce from Affleck on the second anniversary of their nuptials in August 2022 after months of speculation about their split; seen on May 10, 2023 in Los Angeles
The singer/actress split from Affleck in April after less than two years of marriage, and filed for divorce on August 20.
Lopez was engaged to Affleck in the early 2000s, but the relationship ended shortly before they were due to marry.
They got back together in 2021 before tying the knot in two ceremonies in 2022 – one in Las Vegas and one in Georgia. The divorce filing came exactly two years after the couple’s extravagant second party on August 20, 2022.
