Jennifer Lopez Wears A Sculptural Gown At Kiss Of The Spider Woman Screening
Affleck, meanwhile, kept things understated and classic in a navy blue suit, opting to skip the tie for a relaxed yet polished finish.
The father of three serves as the executive producer of the film, which was co-produced through Artists Equity, the production company he founded with longtime friend Matt Damon. On the red carpet, the two Hollywood icons were seen chatting warmly and posing for photos together, much to the delight of fans. Lopez was also joined by her 17-year-old twins, Max and Emme, whom she shares with ex-husband Marc Anthony, making it a full family affair.
The film is about a political prisoner named Valentín who shares a cell with a man named Molina. They form an unlikely bond as Molina recounts a Hollywood musical plot.

She even thanked Affleck before the screening by saying, “Thank you so much, thank you everybody for being here tonight. Thank you, Ben, this movie wouldn’t have been made without Ben and without Artists Equity.” Lopez continued, “I read the script, if you know, I was in bed and I was just floored. I was just like could this be happening right now. I get to sing, I get to dance, I get to act. I get to be an old-time Hollywood movie star."
Naturally, the internet lit up with reactions to the unexpected reunion, as both stars have long dominated headlines amid reports of tension and their high-profile split. However, their united appearance seemed to silence the chatter—at least for now.
“They still love each other. Sometimes love isn’t enough to keep two souls together,” said one user. A second wrote, “I wish they could figure out whatever is stopping them from being together.” A third said, “He’s definitely the love of her life. The way she still looks at him is straight out of a movie.” A fourth commented, “See yall… they divorced and still friendly so stop with the hate.”
