J.Lo and Ben Affleck Couldn’t Stay Apart for Christmas

If you’re looking for an uplifting story that makes you believe in the magic of the holiday spirit, have I got the tale for you. No, it’s not It’s a Wonderful Life. It’s a report in the Daily Mail that says Ben Affleck and Jennifer Lopez reunited on Sunday to exchange gifts. How festive is that?

Bennifer, who are still in the midst of their much-publicized divorce, were photographed arriving separately at the Soho House in West Hollywood. He walked in with a tote bag from what looks like Mystery Pier Books, a bookshop in West Hollywood that specializes in first editions. (Maybe he got her The Iliad.)

The photos of their lunch date come shortly after a source told “Page Six” that these two can’t completely quit each other. “They have every intention of continuing to be in each other’s lives despite not being romantically involved,” a source told the outlet. “Ben and Jennifer are still connected and they do communicate when it involves their kids.” It’s unclear if the kids were also at lunch, but they were not photographed.

Thank God we got one more piece of Bennifer news before the end of the year. I think we all needed it. Here’s to 2025 and all the shenanigans that a movie musical starring Lopez and produced by Affleck might bring us.
