Ben Affleck & Jennifer Lopez: A Pre-Christmas Meetup That’s Giving Us Soap Opera Vibes

Buy Me A Coffee

‘Twas a few days before Christmas, and all through West Hollywood, not a paparazzi camera was stirring—except, of course, for the ones catching Ben Affleck and Jennifer Lopez having what we’ll generously call a “power lunch” at Soho House. Yep, Bennifer 2.0 might be officially over, but the sequel to their breakup is looking a lot like a family-friendly rom-com.

The estranged-but-maybe-we-can-still-be-friends duo rolled up separately (because nothing screams “amicable exes” like arriving solo), and JLo brought her son Max along for the festive awkwardness. Over the course of 30 minutes—barely enough time to order, let alone emotionally process—they managed to remind everyone that they’ve perfected the art of the post-split hangout.

Co-Parenting, Hollywood-Style
JLo and Ben aren’t just good at keeping it civil—they’re practically co-parenting icons. Earlier this month, they even joined forces with Ben’s other ex, Jennifer Garner, for what was presumably the most well-adjusted family event in the history of divorce. Imagine a Christmas card from that crew.

And in case you were wondering how Ben’s doing as the year comes to a close, an insider spilled the tea to People: “Ben is healthy, single, and enjoying life.” Translation: He’s probably guzzling Dunkin’ iced coffees while staring moodily into the Los Angeles sunset.

Father of the Year Energy
The source also dished that Ben’s hyped to spend the holidays with his kids—and he’s especially jazzed to have 19-year-old Violet back home from Yale. Nothing says “holiday cheer” like gathering around the tree to discuss finals, dorm food, and Ivy League gossip.

Meanwhile, his younger kids, Seraphina (15) and Samuel (12), will presumably be soaking up Dad’s festive vibes, which probably include dramatic readings of Good Will Hunting monologues.

The Ex Factor
If you thought this story couldn’t get more wholesome, hold on: Ben and Jennifer Garner were spotted together again a few weeks ago. Are they Hollywood’s friendliest exes, or is this just some elaborate PR stunt to make the rest of us look like amateurs at life? Either way, it’s working.

Ben Affleck is wrapping up 2024 by keeping it cool, caffeinated, and co-parenting like a pro. As for JLo? Well, she’s probably busy dazzling everyone with her flawless style and ability to make even a 30-minute meeting look iconic.
