00:00Ben Affleck and Jennifer Lopez had a surprise reunion at the Kiss of the Spider Woman premiere.
00:05The former couple not only posed for photos on the red carpet together at the event in New York
00:10City, but Affleck also praised Lopez's performance in the film ahead of the screening, as he served
00:15as an executive producer on the movie. When we started Arts Equity, the principal goal
00:20was to empower great artists and tell moving stories and create opportunities for these
00:28kinds of great stories to be told and work with the best directors in the world and the best actors
00:34and the best material. And in this movie, we did all of that. It's an honor to be here. This movie's
00:39exquisite. Jennifer, you're incredible. He concluded by saying,
00:43It's really, truly a thrill and honor, and I'm just proud of this movie. Thank you for letting me be
00:49part of it. The red carpet reunion came as a surprise as Affleck and Lopez finalized their
00:53divorce earlier this year. They initially tied the knot in July 2022, but Lopez filed for divorce
00:59in August 2024. The stars also previously dated in the early 2000s and had gotten engaged then,
01:05but they split before making it down the aisle. While promoting the new film on NBC's Today,
01:10Lopez said this when asked about the divorce and Affleck's involvement with the film.
01:13There you go. Well, but then I read that your ex is an executive producer on the film.
01:21If it wasn't for Ben, the movie wouldn't have got made, and I will always give him that credit.
