Ben Affleck and Jennifer Lopez reunite at Kiss of the Spider Woman premiere
For the first time since their divorce, Ben Affleck and Jennifer Lopez shared a red-carpet moment at the premiere of Kiss of the Spider Woman.
Lopez stars as the dazzling “silver screen diva” Ingrid Luna in Bill Condon’s reimagining of the iconic stage musical. Affleck attended the event as one of the film’s executive producers through his company, Artists Equity, which he co-founded with longtime friend Matt Damon.
Ben Affleck and Jennifer Lopez surprised fans as they posed together on the red carpet, exchanging a few words before the screening. Lopez stunned in a sculptural Harris Reed gown from the designer’s Spring 2026 collection, while Affleck kept things classic in a tailored suit. Their reunion hinted at mutual respect and shared pride in a project that means a lot to both.
Before the premiere screening, Lopez took a moment to thank her ex-husband for helping bring the film to life. “Thank you, Ben, this movie wouldn’t have been made without Ben and without Artists Equity,” she told the crowd. (via People)
Similarly, Affleck couldn’t help but gush about Lopez’s performance. “She’s amazing in the movie,” he said to Extra. “I’m as proud of this movie as any that I’ve ever been involved with. Early on in Jennifer’s involvement in this… she just was gonna give it her all, and she did.” Affleck and Lopez, who tied the knot in 2022 after rekindling their early 2000s romance, finalized their divorce earlier this year.
Directed by Bill Condon, Kiss of the Spider Woman is adapted from Manuel Puig’s 1976 novel and the 1985 Oscar-winning film. Co-produced by Lopez, Affleck, and Damon, the film hits theaters on October 10, 2025.
