Jennifer Lopez continues to support her man, Ben Affleck—and give the paparazzi more healthy doses of PDA.
Yesterday, Lopez was spotted hand in hand with Affleck at the Pacific Design Center in West Hollywood for the screening of his upcoming drama The Tender Bar. Looking uncharacteristically low-key, J.Lo went with an all-black ensemble for the occasion, wearing a matching sweater dress and knee-high boots, and accessorizing with a Valentino purse, dark-brown sunglasses, and her signature gold hoop earrings. Affleck looked dressed down beside her in a simple white shirt, tan jacket, and dark-wash jeans.
The pair were reportedly joined by Affleck's costar and the film's director and producer, George Clooney, for the duration of the screening.
Though the couple had taken a brief hiatus from seeing one another due to career-related engagements, they were spotted on a romantic stroll in New York City ahead of Lopez's Global Citizen Live performance in Central Park last weekend. Their Sunday outing also followed appearances at the Venice Film Festival in early September, where they walked the red carpet in coordinated, wedding-like ensembles—a tuxedo and a white gown—ahead of the premiere of another one of Affleck's upcoming films, The Last Duel. The two were also seen in several other looks throughout the festival, including J.Lo's black stripe and white lace dress moments.
Following Bennifer's initial, very public, early-aughts relationship, the two rekindled their affair this April. After months of flying long distance to see each other in New York and Los Angeles, and blending their families in intimate gatherings, the two have also been photographed mansion hunting throughout L.A., fueling rumors that the pair are serious about settling down.
"It's just a natural step that they all spend time together with the kids," a source previously told People. And per an additional Entertainment Tonight insider, it "wouldn't be [surprising]" if the two ended up "[moving in] together and ultimately end up together."
