Jennifer Lopez looked ‘happy’ with ‘broody’ Ben Affleck at dinner amid divorce rumors, Justin Sylvester says
Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck were in good spirits recently despite mounting divorce rumors.
“E! News” co-host Justin Sylvester shared on “Today with Hoda & Jenna” Monday that he caught a glimpse of the couple “at dinner two weeks ago” and thought they seemed fine.
“How do I say this on daytime TV? They looked like they still are enjoying one another,” he told Hoda Kotb and Jenna Bush Hager.
Kotb was on the edge of her seat as she asked Sylvester, 37, to elaborate on his observations.
“They looked like they were happy at a restaurant. They were chilling. He was his normal broody self. She was talking his ear off. Like, they looked like they were in good form,” he continued.
The entertainment reporter did not share where he saw Lopez, 54, and Affleck, 51, but he said he is “rooting for them.”
All eyes have been on Bennifer since news broke last month that the Oscar winner was no longer staying at their marital home.
The separation speculation heated up over the weekend when TMZ reported that the pair are selling the house in Beverly Hills, Calif., which they bought for $60 million last June.
Potentially buyers have been touring the sprawling property — which is now going for “around $65 million” — for the past few weeks, but no one has bought it yet, according to the outlet.
A source previously told Page Six exclusively that Affleck had “come to his senses” about Lopez, whom he married in Las Vegas in July 2022.
“If there was a way to divorce on grounds of temporary insanity, he would. He feels like the last two years was just a fever dream, and he’s come to his senses now and understands there is just no way this is going to work,” the insider shared last month.
Since then, both Lopez and Affleck have been seen wearing — and not wearing — their wedding rings while out and about.
They also have been photographed together at least twice since the split chatter: first at his son’s basketball game and then at his daughter’s high school graduation party.
The “On the Floor” singer’s career has taken a hit amid all the personal drama, as she recently canceled her tour to spend more time with her family.
The couple, who first dated in the early 2000s before reconciling in 2021, have not directly addressed the rumblings about their marriage.
