In a moment that surprised fans and melted hearts, Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck reunited on the red carpet at the New York City premiere of Kiss of the Spider Woman on October 6, 2025. The event marked a special occasion — not just because of the film’s debut, but because it brought the former couple together again in public after their 2024 divorce.
The premiere, held Monday night, celebrated the upcoming musical adaptation of Kiss of the Spider Woman, starring Jennifer Lopez, 56, in the lead role. The film’s executive producer? None other than her ex-husband, Ben Affleck, 53, who co-produced the movie through his company, Artist Equity, alongside longtime friend Matt Damon.
Lopez looked stunning in a sculptural gown from Harris Reed’s Spring 2026 collection, while Affleck opted for a classic black suit, radiating quiet pride. Photos from the red carpet showed the two smiling and chatting warmly, proving that respect and friendship can outlast romance.
During her speech before the screening, Lopez took a moment to thank Affleck personally, saying,
“Thank you, Ben. This movie wouldn’t have been made without you and Artist Equity.”
She also shared how deeply she connected with the role:
“When I read the script, I was floored. I get to sing, dance, and act — I get to live that old-time Hollywood dream.”
Affleck, who has remained supportive of Lopez’s career, spoke to the press about the film and praised her performance. His presence underscored that while their marriage may have ended, mutual admiration remains strong.
The two first met in 2002 and became one of Hollywood’s most talked-about couples. After a breakup in 2004, they both moved on — only to rekindle their relationship nearly two decades later. They married in 2022 in an intimate Las Vegas ceremony, followed by a grand celebration in Georgia. But in 2024, the pair announced their separation, citing irreconcilable differences, and finalized their divorce earlier this year.
Still, as Lopez recently shared on the TODAY show, there’s no bitterness between them.
“If it wasn’t for Ben, the movie wouldn’t have gotten made. And I’ll always give him that credit,” she said. “Things happen — you just have to keep going.”
Their red-carpet reunion was more than a nostalgic moment — it was a display of maturity, mutual respect, and the enduring bond between two people who once shared a great love story.
