According to Page Six, Jennifer Lopez met her husband outside the basketball venue on Sunday and gave him a light kiss on the cheek.
This was the first time in three months that the star couple was seen displaying affection in public. In their rare recent meetings, they appeared distant from each other.
Last weekend, the 54-year-old singer announced the cancellation of her "This Is Me… Live" tour across the United States.
The tour organizing company stated that Jennifer Lopez wanted to spend time with her family, children, and close friends.
Prior to this, she and Ben Affleck were rumored to have marital issues, with the 'Batman' actor renting a separate house for the past month.
Sources revealed to Us Weekly that Jennifer Lopez's intense focus on work and investment in multiple failed projects were major reasons for the couple's tension.
Singer Jennifer Lopez, 55, canceled her "This Is Me… Live" tour to spend time with her children and family amid rumors of a rift with Ben Affleck.
According to various sources, she has been seen spending more time with Ben Affleck. When attending Ben's son's basketball game, Jennifer Lopez also reunited with her mother-in-law, Chris Boldt.
The couple chatted happily as they left. Both were still wearing their wedding rings. Ben Affleck had previously taken off his wedding ring for a few days, but then put it back on.
Actress Jennifer Garner - Ben Affleck's ex-wife - drove their son and Ben's mother home.
Garner is said to have been trying to help her ex-husband reconcile with Jennifer Lopez. She was seen visiting Ben's house and talking for about an hour.
The 'Alias' star was married to Ben Affleck from 2005 to 2015, and they have three children together. She is currently dating businessman John Miller.
Previously, Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck's marriage was going through a difficult phase.
The couple still prioritizes their children. A close source revealed to the magazine that Bennifer wants to focus on their children because they are always family-oriented.
This is why the famous couple was seen attending Fin's (Ben Affleck's son's) school performance on May 16 and Violet's (Ben's eldest daughter's) graduation on May 30.
Despite being rumored to live separately, the two artists maintain a close relationship with each other's children and bond as a family.
Since getting married in 2022, Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck have been building a harmonious and happy family together.
The 'On the Floor' singer has two children, Max and Emme (16 years old), with her ex-husband Marc Anthony.
Ben Affleck is the father of Violet (18), Fin (15), and Samuel (12), and he maintains a good relationship with his ex-wife and co-parents their children. Both artists have close, affectionate relationships with each other's children, and the kids are very bonded and harmonious.
Fox News sources revealed that Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck have had disagreements about what they provide for their children and how they raise them.
Previously, a Us Weekly source disclosed that the couple had been facing issues for months as Jennifer Lopez intensified her work commitments and prepared for her tour.
Recently, the couple has been busy with their schedules and projects, and it is believed that they are no longer living together.
The 54-year-old singer is currently living in a $60 million mansion in Beverly Hills that they bought together. Ben Affleck is staying in a rented house not far away.
Currently, the famous couple is believed to be trying to salvage their marriage, but Ben Affleck seems to be gradually distancing himself from the process.
