A new report reveals that Ben Affleck’s feelings for ex-wife Jennifer Lopez have not faded at all.
During an intimate lunch gathering with his children in Beverly Hills over the weekend, the actor was said to have appeared enamored with the 55-year-old singer and their children.
“When they were together, he couldn’t stop thinking about her,” an unnamed source told Page Six.
“They’ve always had a lot of sexual chemistry. It wasn’t planned. They’re still attracted to each other,” they added.
The source further revealed that Affleck suggested meeting at the location, even though he is usually the one getting more attention than the “Jenny From the Block” singer.
“He wanted to show that they were friendly exes. He wanted those pictures.”
“You go there when you want to be seen. The paparazzi often congregate there. It was Ben Affleck’s idea to meet there.”
A witness observed the former couple, who ended their marriage earlier this year, showing affection by holding hands and kissing. Their children were present but were said to be sitting at a different table.

In contrast to the affectionate appearance, other photos captured the “Gone Girl” actor looking tense while accompanying Lopez’s children, Max and Emme, and Affleck’s children, Fin and Samuel, on an outing last month.
According to X user @Xrettiwt2, when speaking to the ex-couple, “Pray long and hard, guys!!!! you will make it!!!!!! REMEMBER::: if it’s important to you you will find a way, if not you will find an excuse!”
@jrddpp added, “They really love each other.”
“Good for them! Hope they can work this out!!”, said @micheledelg.
Despite rumors of a romantic relationship, People magazine reported that Lopez has tried to maintain a close relationship with her soon-to-be-ex-husband and the two are still in the process of divorcing.
Lopez filed for divorce just as they celebrated their second anniversary of marriage.
The “Hustlers” actress’ decision to end her marriage is said to be a form of self-affirmation, with irreconcilable differences being the cause of their split.
