Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck were spotted at a local cinema in Los Angeles watching Dune: Part Two over the weekend. One excited fan, @GehrigRyan, shared a video of the couple, who have been married for 19 months, gushing about the movie on Twitter.
In the short clip, JLo and Ben Affleck can be seen picking up their trash after the movie, blending in with the rest of the moviegoers. It’s pretty surprising that such famous celebrities could slip into a regular cinema without causing a huge commotion.
Jennifer Lopez and her current partner Ben Affleck were spotted at a casual showing of Dune: Part Two at a local cinema in Los Angeles over the weekend. Jennifer sported the same stylish $795 R13 ‘D’Arcy’ denim overalls and Ugg boots earlier that day while out shopping with Ben in LA.
The sequel directed by Denis Villeneuve has been a hit, earning $189.6M so far from its $190M budget in US and UK theaters since its recent release. The star-studded cast of the sci-fi epic includes Timothée Chalamet, Zendaya, Javier Bardem, and many more.
Denis Villeneuve’s initial film, inspired by Frank Herbert’s 1965 sci-fi novel, made an impressive $434.8M worldwide in 2021. The couple affectionately known as ‘Bennifer’ initially met on set in LA in 2001 but faced a public split just days before their planned wedding in 2004.
After reconnecting in February 2021, Jennifer and Ben resumed contact, ultimately leading to the end of Jennifer’s engagement with Alex Rodriguez. Their ups and downs in their relationship are candidly explored in a rock documentary called The Greatest Love Story Never Told by filmmaker Jason Bergh, which debuted on Amazon Prime Video.
Reflecting on their reconciliation, Ben humorously mentions, “I made it clear from the start that I didn’t want our relationship to be a social media spectacle.”
GehrigRyan, a user on Twitter, shared a video of a married couple who had been together for 19 months, expressing their excitement about the movie “Dune 2.” They were surprised when they saw JLo and Ben Affleck sitting in front of them during the post-credits scene, resulting in a humorous reaction.
In a brief video lasting only six seconds, the pop star, aged 54, and the Air actor-director, aged 51, were seen stooping down to pick up their remaining popcorn and soda under their seats to throw away.
It’s difficult to imagine how the famous celebrity duo managed to quietly slip into a movie theater without attracting too much attention from their many fans due to their immense star power.
Earlier in the day, Jennifer was casually wearing the $795 R13 ‘D’Arcy’ denim overalls and Ugg boots as she went shopping in Los Angeles with Ben.
Denis Villeneuve’s sequel, which has received high praise, has almost recouped its $190 million budget, making $189.6 million since its release in US/UK theaters last Friday. In a recent interview, Ben Affleck humorously compared his relationship with Jennifer to marrying a boat captain despite not liking water, highlighting their different approaches and the need for compromise.
Affleck also teased Jennifer for making her Amazon musical film semi-autobiographical but portraying herself as younger at 28. In a video from February 23, Jennifer Lopez expressed her gratitude for finding a deep, profound love again and wanting to capture that moment in time to share with others. She emphasized the existence of true love and the importance of striving for it, regardless of where life’s journey takes you.
As a Dunkin’ brand ambassador, Ben Affleck has embraced the role of stepfather to Jennifer Lopez’s 16-year-old twins, Emme Muñiz and Max Muñiz, from her previous marriage to Marc Anthony. In turn, Jennifer Lopez has taken on the role of stepmother to Ben’s three children – Violet, Seraphina (Fin), and Samuel – from his former marriage to Jennifer Garner. Their blended family dynamic reflects the beauty of enduring love and the value of building strong, lasting relationships.
The duo, once famously called ‘Bennifer’, first crossed paths on the set of Gigli in Los Angeles back in 2001. However, their relationship took an unexpected turn when they called off their wedding just three days before the scheduled ceremony in 2004.
Lopez and Affleck rekindled their text conversations in February 2021, just a couple of months before Lopez called off her engagement to Alex Rodriguez, co-owner of the Minnesota Timberwolves (seen in the photo from 2020).
In Jason Bergh’s new rock documentary “The Greatest Love Story Never Told,” the award-winning filmmaker and the Grammy-nominated artist openly talk about their turbulent relationship. The film, which debuted on Amazon Prime Video on February 27, delves into their rollercoaster romance.
Ben remembered having a conversation about their relationship: “When we decided to give it another shot, I mentioned that I didn’t want our relationship to be all over social media. But then I realized it wasn’t really fair to ask that. It’s like marrying a boat captain and saying you don’t like the water. We both have different ways of doing things and we’re working on finding a balance together.”
Affleck jokingly teased Jennifer about her movie This Is Me…Now: A Love Story being “semi-autobiographical but younger,” where she portrayed herself as 28 years old.
In a video on February 23, Lopez expressed how uncertain they were about finding love again, until something unexpected happened. They described the experience as even more amazing and fulfilling than before. Lopez mentioned wanting to immortalize this special moment and share it with others.
The singer known for hits like “Can’t Get Enough” is gearing up to start her This Is Me…Now: The Tour, with 37 dates supporting her latest album, at the Kia Center in Orlando, FL on June 26.
In addition to her music career, Jennifer Lopez will be starring in William Goldenberg’s upcoming biopic about Anthony Robles titled Unstoppable, as well as Brad Peyton’s AI thriller Atlas set to premiere on Netflix.
As an Emmy-nominated producer, JLo is also busy overseeing the final 19 episodes of the fifth season of the spin-off series Good Trouble, created by Joanna Johnson, Bradley Bredeweg, and Peter Paige, airing on Freeform.
