Bennifer are ready for their closeup.
Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck made another trip on Friday to the 78th Annual Venice Film Festival, where Affleck's new film The Last Duel is set to premiere. As the power couple traveled to the festival (via water taxi, of course), local paparazzi snapped the pair looking impressively chic. For the outing, Lopez wore a black and white pinstriped mini dress with her hair pulled back in a sleek ponytail, while Affleck was dapper in a navy suit. The two were also photographed holding hands as they made their way to the famed festival.
Lopez posted a few personal snapshots of the pair's evening out on Instagram as well.
"I’d rather be in Venice ✨🇮🇹🚤," wrote Lopez alongside the series of photos.
The superstar also shared a glimpse of an ultra sexy backless black ensemble courtesy of Norma Kamali via her Instagram stories, presumably for a date night or late night fete with Affleck later that evening. Lopez paired the sexy dress with a shimmery rhinestone embellished bag by Cult Gaia and her hair in sleek, straight strands.
According to People, the pair are spending as much time together as possible as their professional calendars fill up come the fall. The two have also been focused on slowly but surely blending their families as their relationship becomes more serious. Lopez has two 13-year-old twins, Max and Emme Muniz, with ex-husband Marc Anthony, while Affleck has three children, Violet, Seraphina, and Samuel Affleck, with ex-wife Jennifer Garner.
"It's just a natural step that they all spend time together with the kids," a source told the outlet. "They are not trying to rush anything, but they want all the kids to get to know each other. They are making the last few days of summer as fun as they can. Soon it's back to school and work."
