"The connection doesn’t end,” the insider explained, adding that JLo helped Ben “become a family man again" while they were still together.

The pair successfully had a blended family during their marriage. However, the source said that they are “very different people," explaining that Jennifer is “super public and wants to go out,” and the actor is “more of an introvert and is happy to hang out at home.”

Fans of the pair were surprised after their latest outing, as they had seemingly rekindled their relationship. But a different source told People that "they are still moving forward with the divorce" and "they are working out financial details amicably.”

“It was Ben Affleck’s idea to meet there,” a source said to Page Six. “He wanted to show that they are friendly exes, adding, “Once they were together, he could not keep his hands off.”
