In a recent public appearance, Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck were seen attending his 12-year-old son Samuel’s basketball game together in Los Angeles. This joint outing has sparked optimism about their marriage amid ongoing divorce rumors.
Despite the couple avoiding public displays of affection during the game, their presence together is considered a positive sign.
“It’s a good sign they were at the game together,” a source close to the Oscar winner, 51, and the “On The Floor” hitmaker, 54, told People.

The couple, who married in July 2022, has faced increasing speculation about their relationship status. However, their united front at the basketball game, where they were seen smiling and exchanging air kisses, suggests that they might be working through their issues. They were also joined by Affleck’s mother, Anne Boldt, which added to the family atmosphere.
Earlier that day, Lopez was spotted at a flea market in LA with her 16-year-old child, Emme. This appearance was one of the few public outings J.Lo has made recently, following their attendance at Affleck’s daughter Violet’s high school graduation party last week. Despite leaving the party early, their joint arrival had shown a united front.
Reports indicate that Lopez and Affleck are currently navigating a challenging phase in their relationship. A source mentioned that they are “on two completely different pages” now that the honeymoon phase has ended. Affleck reportedly feels “worn down” by the marriage and disagrees with Lopez’s lifestyle. Their demanding careers often require them to be in different cities, adding strain to their relationship.
Last week, Lopez attended the 2024 Met Gala solo, fueling further speculation about their marital troubles. However, their recent appearance together at Samuel’s basketball game might suggest they are making efforts to address their issues.
The couple, who were seen leaving the event together in a black Cadillac Escalade, headed to a mansion that Affleck is believed to be renting after moving out of their shared home. Lopez, accompanied by her assistant, was seen leaving shortly after arriving.
While insiders remain uncertain about the future of Lopez and Affleck’s relationship, their recent joint appearances hint at a possible reconciliation. As they continue to navigate their busy careers and personal challenges, only time will tell what lies ahead for this high-profile couple.
