Ben Affleck and Jennifer Lopez might be the subject of breakup rumors, but they’re putting on an award-winning performance as a united front for a big family milestone.
The Hollywood power couple reunited for the high school graduation ceremony of Ben’s 18-year-old daughter, Violet Affleck, on Thursday (May 30) in Los Angeles. Because nothing says “we’re still together” like awkwardly avoiding eye contact during Pomp and Circumstance.
Photos have surfaced of Ben and Jen strolling into the graduation venue, surrounded by family members who were likely taking bets on how long the smiles would last.
One snapshot features Ben carrying a massive basket filled with pink tissue paper, perhaps as a decoy in case the media got too close. Meanwhile, Jennifer and Ben’s mom, Chris, walked beside him, probably chatting about the absurdity of giant gift baskets and their potential uses post-ceremony.
This marks the second time this month that the couple has been seen together, despite rumors of their breakup. Stay tuned for our in-depth analysis of their body language, the size of that basket, and the latest on Bennifer’s will-they-won’t-they saga!
