Affleck and Lopez Reunite for Musical Premiere in NYC

Summary
- Jennifer Lopez stars in upcoming musical "Kiss of the Spider Woman"
- Ben Affleck, the film's executive producer, made a surprise appearance
- Affleck and Lopez's supportive appearance follows their 2025 divorce
On October 6, 2025, Jennifer Lopez, 56, attended the New York City premiere of her upcoming musical "Kiss of the Spider Woman." Joining her at the event was Ben Affleck, 53, the film's executive producer, who made a surprise appearance.
Affleck and Lopez's supportive appearance at the premiere follows their divorce in 2024, which they cited as due to irreconcilable differences. The former couple initially met in 2002 and began dating, but they ended their engagement in 2004 and pursued other relationships. In 2021, they rekindled their romance and married in an intimate Las Vegas ceremony in July 2022, followed by a second ceremony in Georgia the next month.
Despite their relationship coming to an end, Lopez has praised Affleck's involvement in the musical's production, saying, "If it wasn't for Ben, the movie wouldn't have gotten made." She also noted that working on the film has been a healing experience, as it's "about how movies and art save us in the hardest times of our lives."
