Although all eyes were on the Toronto red carpet, it was backstage that a highly anticipated encounter took place. Jennifer Lopez, who reappeared on the Toronto red carpet in a suggestive dress, already dubbed her “revenge dress”, was not with her ex Ben Affleck, producer of the film she stars in, but she was with his best friend. Matt Damon, partner and one of the people who knows the actor best (he was accompanied by his wife Luciana Barroso), showed great closeness to Jennifer, with whom he sat at an after-party.

Calmer after the hustle and bustle of the spotlight, they were seen talking with serious faces for quite some time. A separation is never easy and Jennifer and Ben’s, which seemed like a fairy tale story, has not been either. Matt and Ben have been friends for the last 40 years and that is why the protagonist of The Bourne Case is perhaps one of the people who knows him best. This closeness seems to have been transferred to Jennifer, who he held by the hand in a gesture of support. It had already been said that Damon was worried about his friends and that he was a great support for Ben.

Perhaps Matt was telling her how his friend was doing, who was in Los Angeles while the film was being presented. This was a long-awaited occasion as it could have been the first meeting between Ben and Jennifer after the rumors of their separation were confirmed, which had been hovering over them for months. For the moment it seems that both prefer to keep their distance. That was the case just a few days ago when they were in one of the office buildings they share, but separately and barely half an hour apart. Sources close to the singer assure that she will always love Ben, but that they have not been able to overcome the crisis into which their relationship had fallen.

The reasons for the divorce have not been discussed by either of them. They are focused on their families and trying to heal the wounds of their hearts, after a failed love affair that no one had foreseen. The second chance they gave their relationship after two decades seemed like something out of a movie, although the ending was not the expected happily ever after. Jennifer has focused on her children, Max and Emme, 16 years old, born from her relationship with Marc Anthony, and on her self-care. The artist, who cancelled her summer tour, is now looking for a new home after having sold the mansion she shared with Affleck.

Ben has also found a balm for his pain in his family. The three children he has with Jennifer Garner are his best company and he spends a lot of time with them. For the moment he has not been in front of the cameras, as he did not attend the premiere of the film. Unstoppablestarring his ex-wife. The title tells the story of the American wrestler Anthony Robles, who, despite being born with only one leg, managed to become champion of the NCAA league in 2011. Jennifer plays the wrestler’s mother.
On August 20, the news was confirmed that Jennifer Lopez had filed for divorce from Ben Affleck. They are thus facing one of the most mediatic divorces in recent years in Hollywood, not only because of the assets at stake but because it puts an end to one of those stories that made people dream of the success of second chances.
