AceShowbiz - Jennifer Lopez will be joined by Matt Damon at the Toronto premiere of "Unstoppable". The news arrived after previous reports suggested that her estranged husband Ben Affleck would be absent from the September event.
Matt, alongside his longtime pal Ben, serves as the producer of the movie. He will attend the premiere at the 2024 Toronto International Film Festival on September 6.
It was initially unveiled that certain producers on the movie are "pushing" J.Lo and Ben "to appear together at the premiere in Toronto to create buzz on the film." However, the two seemingly have chosen to skip the awkward task amid their divorce.
The sports drama was produced by Artists Equity, the company that Ben and Matt co-founded. Aside from J.Lo, it also stars Jharrel Jerome, Bobby Cannavale, Michael Pena as well as Don Cheadle.
It remains unclear if J.Lo will be posing with Matt on the red carpet. A source told RadarOnline.com in December 2023 that the "Good Will Hunting" actors' friendship became "strained" because of the "On the Floor" hitmaker.
"Matt's had serious reservations about Bennifer 2.0 since the beginning," an insider to the National Enquirer, according to Radaronline.com. "He's tried to be publicly supportive for Ben's sake, but the fact is he hates the way J Lo treats his buddy and can no longer hold his tongue."
"It's no secret Ben and J Lo haven't been getting along, as he always seems to be in the doghouse," the National Enquirer's insider allegedly added. "It's obvious something needs to change, but when Matt started giving Ben advice, he totally blew up."
It reportedly feels like deja vu for Matt. "It feels like history repeating itself because 20 years ago they stopped talking for the exact same reason," the informant shared. "But Matt can't keep quiet, even if it means alienating Ben."
