Jennifer Lopez might be divorcing Matt Damon's best friend and business partner, Ben Affleck. Still, the pair seem to have an amicable relationship. They were photographed holding hands while having an intimate conversation at the Toronto International Film Festival, weeks after the singer filed for divorce from Affleck.
During an afterparty commemorating the premiere of their film "Unstoppable," Jennifer Lopez and Matt Damon were spotted engaging in a private discussion. Lopez is the lead in the movie, produced by Damon and Affleck's production company, Artists Equity.

Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck's divorce
Jennifer Lopez filed for divorce from Ben Affleck, two years after tying the knot in a lavish wedding in Georgia. Lopez has not released any statements regarding the split, but she cited "irreconciliable differences" as the motive for their divorce. An insider revealed that the "No Me Ames" singer struggled with Affleck's moods and emotions. Lopez "did spend a lot of time making sure Ben was happy and had everything he needed," said a source to PEOPLE. "The way she cared for him was almost childlike," they continued. "Friends constantly reminded her that she's not responsible for his feelings. He's very moody and dark at times. Jennifer appreciates life in another way. She's very grateful for everything."

When he's relaxed and in a good mood, it's amazing to be around him," said the insider. "But more often, he's upset or frustrated."
"Many times, it's just something small that he gets stuck on," continued the source. "He really doesn't understand how his bad mood affects people around him. It's just not fun being around that kind of negativity."

Recent reports suggest that complications have arisen in the ongoing divorce proceedings. Despite working in the same building, the two have avoided encountering each other. However, a potentially uncomfortable situation almost unfolded as both parties were present in their respective offices.
Affleck and Lopez were spotted exiting the premises only a few minutes apart. It was noted that JLo departed first, with Ben following 15 minutes later. The celebrity couple, who have not been seen together in a while, are now the subject of reports detailing a potentially contentious situation arising from the absence of a prenuptial agreement.
