AceShowbiz - Amidst her divorce proceedings from Matt Damon's longtime friend Ben Affleck, Jennifer Lopez and Damon shared a deep conversation at an afterparty following the premiere of their new movie "Unstoppable".
Lopez, dressed in a glamorous Tamara Ralph gown, sat with Damon and his wife, Luciana, at an outdoor table. The pair were seen holding hands and engrossed in a lengthy discussion, according to eyewitnesses.
The event marked Lopez's first red carpet appearance since filing for divorce from Affleck on August 20. Affleck, who is a producer on "Unstoppable", did not attend the premiere.
Damon has publicly expressed support for Affleck during the couple's separation. Days after Lopez's divorce filing, Damon was spotted dining with Affleck, Luciana and their daughters.
Matt Damon and Ben Affleck have been close friends for over 40 years, having burst onto the scene with their Academy Award-winning screenplay for "Good Will Hunting" in 1997.
Despite their close ties, Affleck reportedly opted to stay home to avoid a public encounter with Lopez at the film festival.
Sources indicate that Lopez had attempted to salvage her marriage to Affleck for months, but ultimately found herself unable to overcome his "darkness."
Despite navigating the end of her fourth marriage, Lopez is said to be enthusiastic about promoting "Unstoppable", which she considers an inspirational story that she is proud to be a part of.
